and customizable options. With an array of plugins and themes, WordPress allows its users to enhance their website or blog. For beginners, however, the system can be overwhelming, and even experienced users may require assistance when it comes to managing their WordPress site.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Installing_WordPress\"><\/span>Installing WordPress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Installing WordPress may seem daunting, but with a few steps, it can be done without a hitch. Here is how:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Download the latest WordPress version from the official website.<\/li>\n<li>Extract the files from the zip folder and use an FTP client to upload them to your hosting account.<\/li>\n<li>Create a MySQL database and user account within your hosting account.<\/li>\n<li>Visit your website&#8217;s URL and follow the prompts to run the WordPress installer.<\/li>\n<li>Fill in your website&#8217;s details, such as the title and tagline of your site.<\/li>\n<li>Select your preferred theme and begin creating content.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Configuring_WordPress\"><\/span>Configuring WordPress<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Once WordPress is installed, it requires specific settings to ensure that your website is up and running efficiently.

Here are the steps to install themes and plugins:<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Installing_a_Theme\"><\/span>Installing a Theme<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>To install a theme, go to Appearance > Themes, and click the Add New button.
