jje Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Yeah - you can install WordPress in public_html folder or in another folder inside public_html. The only folder you really need to keep in public_html is 'cgi-bin'. See the WordPress 5-Minute-Install Guide for more info on installing WordPress. Or, you could install it via Sodtaculous in cPanel. In Softaculous, when it asks for a directory: / = /home/jje/public_html /directory = /home/jje/public_html/directory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
