Because it serves such a wide and diverse user base, there can be a bit of a learning curve for beginners, especially if this is your first site you\u2019re building out.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, you\u2019re going to have a lot of questions. So, instead of searching through Google, looking for the answers you\u2019re looking for, we decided to compile them into a single post. Below you\u2019ll find seven of the most common WordPress questions answered.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/managed-wordpress-hosting\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-12309\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/WordPress-Hosting-2.gif\" alt=\"Recommended WordPress Hosting\" width=\"468\" height=\"60\" \/><\/a><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>1. How do I create a WordPress site?<\/h3>\n<p>Before you can begin installing WordPress first you\u2019ll need a host and a domain name. If you use a beginner-friendly host like HostGator, then you can install WordPress with the click of a button. Within your hosting control panel, you\u2019ll find an app called <em><a href=\"http:\/\/support.hostgator.com\/articles\/how-to-install-wordpress\">One Click Install<\/a><\/em>. This app allows you to install WordPress, or a number of other popular CMS, with a few clicks.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-17766\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/OneClickInstall-1024x450.png\" alt=\"HostGator WordPress One Click Install\" width=\"658\" height=\"289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/OneClickInstall-1024x450.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/OneClickInstall-300x132.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/OneClickInstall-768x338.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/OneClickInstall.png 1103w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 658px) 100vw, 658px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then, once you have WordPress installed on your site you can install your theme of choice, install plugins, and start building your site.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>2. Can I build a WordPress site without a blog?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. WordPress initially began as a blogging platform. But, it has since evolved into a full-fledged website creator. If you want to build a site without any blogging functionality, then you can build out your site using only the <em>Page<\/em> options from within the dashboard.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>3. How do I add plugins to my site?<\/h3>\n<p>Plugins are an incredibly useful aspect of the WordPress CMS. There are tens of thousands of different plugins you can choose from that will extend the functionality of your site. You\u2019ll be able to do things like add contact forms, sliders, social sharing buttons, and much more.<\/p>\n<p>To install a new plugin first navigate to your WordPress dashboard. On the left-hand side, you\u2019ll see a menu, navigate to <i>Plugins&gt;Add New<\/i>. This will bring up a screen that will allow you to search for your plugin of choice, or you can choose from the most popular downloads.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17764\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-09-at-1.03.55-PM.png\" alt=\"wordpress install plugins\" width=\"636\" height=\"188\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-09-at-1.03.55-PM.png 636w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-09-at-1.03.55-PM-300x89.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 636px) 100vw, 636px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once you decide upon a plugin click the I<em>nstall Now<\/em> button and finally click on <em>Activate<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>4. How do I install a new WordPress theme?<b> <\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Installing a new WordPress theme is similar to installing a plugin. First, navigate to your WordPress dashboard. Then, on the left-hand menu select <i>Appearance&gt;Themes<\/i>. On this screen click on the <em>Add New<\/em> button.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-17765\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-09-at-1.05.36-PM.png\" alt=\"install wordpress theme\" width=\"584\" height=\"348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-09-at-1.05.36-PM.png 584w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-09-at-1.05.36-PM-300x179.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here you\u2019ll be able to browse the selection of themes, or you can upload your own theme if you\u2019ve purchased or downloaded a theme from another source. If you want to upload your own theme click the <em>Upload Theme<\/em> button, and on the next screen you\u2019ll choose your theme and click <em>Install Now<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>5. How do I add a new blog post?<\/h3>\n<p>The two main content elements you\u2019ll be using to build out your site are posts and pages. To add a new post to your site click on <i>Posts&gt;Add New<\/i> from within your WordPress dashboard.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-17769\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-09-at-1.12.01-PM-1024x308.png\" alt=\"WordPress add new post\" width=\"840\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-09-at-1.12.01-PM-1024x308.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-09-at-1.12.01-PM-300x90.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Screen-Shot-2017-10-09-at-1.12.01-PM-768x231.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Then, you\u2019ll create your blog post, upload images, format it accordingly, and press <em>Publish<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>6. How do I improve my WordPress SEO?<\/h3>\n<p>Right out of the box WordPress is optimized for search engine rankings. The theme you choose might even take your onsite SEO even further. Typically, you\u2019ll have a box at the bottom of each page and blog post that allows you to edit the SEO title, meta description, and more.<\/p>\n<p>If you really want to improve your onsite SEO, then it\u2019s a good idea to <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wordpress-seo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">install Yoast SEO<\/a>. This is one of top SEO plugins out there and will help you to optimize each page and post on your site around your chosen keyword.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/yoastseo-image.png\" alt=\"Yoast SEO - A Plugin For Photographers\" width=\"549\" height=\"271\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/yoastseo-image.png 810w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/yoastseo-image-300x148.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/yoastseo-image-768x379.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 549px) 100vw, 549px\" \/><b><\/b><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h3>7. How do I speed up my WordPress site?<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostgator.com\/blog\/need-know-page-speed\/\">Site speed is incredibly important<\/a>, both for your site rankings and for your users. If you notice that your WordPress site is lagging, then there are a lot of things you can do to improve it<\/p>\n<p>For example, you could reduce image sizes before you upload them, reduce the total amount of plugins you\u2019re using, turn on caching, or even utilize the power of a CDN.
