We offer some different ways to install WordPress on your Servebolt site. If you prefer that we handle it, contact us via our live chat, and our Support Team will do it for you in a few minutes. The other options are:
With our Admin Panel
The easiest method for installing WordPress on Servebolt is to let us install it when you create a new Bolt or a new Site. Simply press the “Yes, please!” option and our Admin Panel will do the rest automatically.
With WP-CLI
Another method for installing WordPress on Servebolt is to connect with SSH. We have pre-installed WP-CLI, the command-line tool for WordPress, on all Bolts.
To download WordPress using the wp command (WP-CLI), log in to your Servebolt site with SSH.
ssh username@server_hostnameNavigate to the public folder in your home directory (cd ~/site/public) and then run the wp core download command:
cd ~/site/public
wp core downloadYou have now downloaded all the necessary WordPress files to your ~/site/public/ folder. The only remaining step is to set up the installation by visiting your site’s internal URL, which you can find in the Admin Panel for your Servebolt site.
With SFTP
You can also download and upload all the files for your WordPress using an SFTP program like FileZilla. First, you need to download the necessary files from WordPress.org. Then you need to connect with SFTP. You can use FileZilla for this. Here is an article on connecting with FileZilla.
When you’ve connected to the server and downloaded your files, you simply drag them from your local machine over to your ~/site/public/ folder.
