How To Install and Configure Git on Fedora 23
Git is an open-source version control system used for source code management.
Pre-Flight Check
- This article applies specifically to Liquid Web’s Managed WordPress servers.
We will be adding a WordPress site directly through the Manage interface, the preferred method for WordPress Optimized Template servers.
Step #1: Open the Server Dashboard
- Log into your Manage dashboard and click the [+] button to the left of your WordPress Optimized Template server’s name to expand the dashboard.
- Click on the Sites button in your dashboard to launch the WordPress Sites view.
Step #2: Add A Site
- To add a site, click the Install a WordPress Site button, fill out the requested information, and then click Add Site to add the new site.
- Domain Name is the domain name you want to add to the server. If the domain name is using Liquid Web nameservers, a free SSL certificate will be ordered and installed on the domain, and WordPress will be configured to use the https protocol on the site. If the domain name is pointed elsewhere, an SSL can be added later.
- Username is the WordPress admin user. The username specified here will be used to log into both WordPress and the site’s cPanel account. It must be 16 characters or fewer.
- Email is the contact information for the site.
- Password is the credential which will be used to log into both WordPress and cPanel. It should be a strong password, and can contain upper- and lower-case letters, numbers, and basic special characters such as underscores.
- Verify Password requires you to enter the password again, and will alert you if it does not match what was entered on the Password field.
- Automatic Updates allows you to choose between automatically updating WordPress itself (Core), WordPress and its plugins (Core and Plugins), or disabling automatic updates altogether (None). It is recommended to at least enable automatic updates for WordPress itself.
- The site now will be listed in your Sites dashboard, where you can change update preferences or install a free standard SSL on the domain.
Step #3: Review Settings
Once you return to the Sites dashboard in Manage, you’ll now see your new WordPress site listed in the WordPress Sites section. Click on the [+] next to the domain name to expand the view and configure options for the site.
