Open the Appearance menu&#8217;s Themes directory, find the theme, and click the <strong>Activate link.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-do-i-need-to-get-started-learning-wordpress\"><strong>What do I need to get started learning WordPress?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Learning <a href=\"https:\/\/f60host.com\/wordpress-hosting.php\">WordPress<\/a> is simple if you set aside a few hours each day for a week to devote to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll need some basic <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">search abilities<\/span> (i.e., the ability to use search engines like Google) as well as the ability to follow directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To code a website, you don&#8217;t need to know HTML or any other programming languages. Learning them will be beneficial in the future, but you don&#8217;t need them to create a website using WordPress as a novice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The majority of WordPress users don&#8217;t know how to code or program, and they&#8217;ve been using it for years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many successful WordPress developers began their careers in the same way you did, and now work full-time as web developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;d like to welcome you to the wonderful WordPress and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">WPBeginner<\/span><strong> <\/strong>communities now that you&#8217;ve decided to learn WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wordpress-how-to-get-started\"><strong>WordPress: How to Get Started<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/f60host.com\/wordpress-hosting.php\">WordPress<\/a> websites can be divided into two categories. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">WordPress.org<\/span>, generally known as <strong>self-hosted WordPress,<\/strong> comes first, followed by WordPress.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recommend self-hosted WordPress.org because it comes with all of the WordPress features pre-installed. See our <strong>WordPress.com<\/strong> vs. <strong>WordPress.org<\/strong> comparison for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After you&#8217;ve decided on a platform, the following step is to select a domain and web hosting provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your domain is the address that users will type into their browser to visit your website (for example wpbeginner.com). We&#8217;ve put together a guide to assist you in choosing the right domain name for your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next step is to select a web hosting provider. This is where all of your website&#8217;s files will be saved so that visitors may view it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A domain normally costs $14.99 per year, with site hosting starting at $7.99 per month. If you&#8217;re just starting off, this is a significant sum of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately, Bluehost has agreed to provide<strong> WPBeginner<\/strong> users with a free domain name and a substantial hosting discount. Essentially, you can begin for $2.75 each month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re looking for a Bluehost alternative, try SiteGround or read our guide to finding the best WordPress hosting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s time to install WordPress after you&#8217;ve purchased a domain name and a web hosting account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordPress is well-known for its ease of installation, and most hosting companies provide 1-click WordPress installers. If you need assistance, check out our step-by-step <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">WordPress installation guide.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>There&#8217;s also a step-by-step guide on:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What is the best way to create a WordPress blog?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What is the best way to make a website with WordPress?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How to use WordPress to create an online store<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How to Create a WordPress Membership Site<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How to Launch a Podcast Using WordPress<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See our guide to the many sorts of websites you may make with WordPress for more focused tutorials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can also install WordPress on your Mac or Windows computer if you only want to learn and create a test site. However, keep in mind that local websites are not visible to other internet users. You&#8217;ll need to move WordPress from your computer (local) to a live site to make it available to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After you&#8217;ve installed WordPress, you&#8217;ll be able to access the WordPress dashboard, also known as the admin area. It has a clean design with a toolbar at the top and a left-hand admin sidebar menu.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/f60host.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/f60host-1-2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/f60host.com\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/f60host-1-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-999958763\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ve successfully created a <a href=\"https:\/\/f60host.com\/wordpress-hosting.php\">WordPress<\/a> website. Your website, on the other hand, is now empty, with a very basic design and no discernible functions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll familiarize yourself with WordPress features and learn how to set it up to work for you over the next three days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"learning-the-fundamentals-of-wordpress\"><strong>Learning the Fundamentals of WordPress<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s time to learn how to use <a href=\"https:\/\/f60host.com\/wordpress-hosting.php\">WordPress <\/a>now that you&#8217;ve <strong>installed<\/strong> it.

These 34 videos will walk you through the <strong>WordPress dashboard<\/strong>, including how to add photos, videos, and music, among other things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you work on your <strong>website<\/strong>, we recommend watching these videos.

You can always go back and finish what you started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You&#8217;ll come across phrases that you don&#8217;t understand as you work on your website. We&#8217;ve put together a helpful WordPress dictionary that includes a list of widely used WordPress terms as well as a full explanation of each term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After that, you should learn how to use the <strong>WordPress block editor<\/strong>.
