|The problem=I used to be a Joomla! type of person. That was until 2014 when things kept breaking and simply not working. I started using WordPress instead when a company I worked for decided to switch from Joomla! to WordPress. This was really the first experience I had with WordPress, since I have primarily used WordPress with the occasions of using other systems such as MediaWiki, depends what work at the time I have on and what system is required.

To install WordPress, there are two ways of doing this, the easy way, and the hard way (but not that hard). I will go into more detail on the hard way soon, but first I will touch on the easy way.

|Guidance====== Easy Install of WordPress =====
Most hosting providers use cPanel, or something equivalent. As part of cPanel you have Softaculous, find WordPress:
[[File:CPanel install Wordpress softalicious.png|alt=An image of the softalicious section within cPanel|none|frame|An image of the softalicious section within cPanel]]
Click on it:
[[File:Wordpress on Softalicious.png|alt=An image of the Wordpress entry on Softalicious.|none|frame|An image of the Wordpress entry on Softalicious.]]
Go to the install page, complete the details and install.

You will need to be able to create databases and have access to the file system.
