private server or host. Technical and community support is provided by WRODPRESS and
the WRODPRESS forums.
On this site we can download and install a software script called WRODPRESS. To do this
we need a web host who meets the minimum requirements and a little time. WRODPRESS is
completely customizable and can be used for almost anything.
On the other hand, www.WRODPRESS.com is an online base. It has limited themes which
are given in that site. We cannot other themes beside this, and also it has no plugins features.

7. 2 | P a g e
Popularity:
WRODPRESS is the most flexible and demandable for web creation tools in this existent
day. Before learn about how the WRODPRESS install and run, we have to know about the
reason of WORDPRES popularity.
I. WORDPRES is free and open source
WRODPRESS is open source software, it is free to use, edit and redistribute. That’s why
we can easily find its original source codes publicly available. It is completely free and comes
with unlimited validity. We can download it from its official website. Moreover, all hosting
companies generally provide one-click installation facility of WRODPRESS. So, ask it
before we buy hosting. We can also try it on our local computer at first level by using
WAMPP, XAMPP etc.
II. Create Any Website With WRODPRESS
Today, WRODPRESS is more than a blog publishing platform. It has a lot of versatility and
gives you full flexibility to create any type of website. Wide range of themes and plugins
increase its functionality to a great extent. That’s why you can create any kind of website

8. 3 | P a g e
IV. WRODPRESS Is Easy To Customize
It’s possible to customize colors, design, and even features of a WRODPRESS theme. It
doesn’t matter you are a developer or not. Customizing your website through coding in not
mandatory.
Customizing Through Panel:
All settings are provided in a control panel under WP dashboard. The dashboard is quite user-
friendly simple interface makes it possible to customize most of the elements of your website
in an easy manner.
For those who are new to CMS, it may seem difficult. However, on spending some time
with child theme and the style.css file, you will learn to play with customization.
V. WRODPRESS Supports Multimedia
WRODPRESS have very rich text editor i.e WYSIWYG. It supports easy insertion of
images, video, audio in blog post. we can insert any media files in our content within a single
click, users mostly engage with images, videos or audios in webpages.
Add anything from a high-resolution image or video to support what you have written. It’s
not only easy to upload these files but you can also edit them easily.

9. 4 | P a g e
We need to collect and download some important things they are- purchase a domain name,
install FTP software, and download WRODPRESS software. Now, we are going to learn
about how to install and run the WRODPRESS step by step;
Starting process of WRODPRESS:
There are several steps those we have to go through for staring WRODPRESS. They are-
Step 1: We need a local server or buy a space of a host company server or use a free server.
Then, download WRODPRESS zip file from www.WRODPRESS.org and retain that at a
new folder which could be named “WRODPRESS collection”. Unzip the W/Ps zip file.
Step 2: If we do not want to work in local host and want to directly work in live saver, we
might need domain and hosting. We have to create an account by giving our user name and
password. It is very important to connect with server.
Step 3: Now, we would download the FileZila in our PC. It is necessary for transfer data such
as; WRODPRESS folder, different plugins, and themes from PC to server. Important data
could be drag and paste that to the server by FileZilla. All those data are uploaded and save at
the storage of the server.
Step 4: Then, create a user name and password for WRODPRESS. So, next time we can
directly login to the WRODPRESS for edit without entering in server. The address of
WRODPRESS login server is 192.168.0.61/~ecom01/wp-admin and the address of online
site is 192.168.0.61/~ecom01, where we check the modified version of our site.
Public html: It is a folder of server where upload all new data for public can see all those.
Inside the public html the unzip WRODPRESS folder must be stored.’
FTP: File Transfer Portal
N.B: There are three times user name and password, one for server, second one for
WRODPRESS, and third/more than third is for creating database.

10. 5 | P a g e
How to create a database:
Page Creation:
Creating page is the first task of working process in the
WRODPRESS. In WRODPRESS, we can write pages. Pages are
for content such as "About," "Contact," etc. Pages live outside of
the normal blog chronology, and are often used to present timeless
information about theself or the site information that is always
applicable. We can use Pages to In addition to the generally
required "About" and "Contact" Pages, other examples of common
pages include Copyright, Disclosure, Legal Information, Reprint
Permissions, Company Information, and Accessibility Statement.
In general, Pages have Titles and Content and can use the
WRODPRESS Theme templates files to maintain a consistent look
throughout the site. There are other attributes of pages, which are given below:
Go to the
Dashboard of
CWP.cliet
server(192.168.0.6
1:2030)
Inside
dashboard
click on the My
SQL manager
click Creat
databaseby
giving
database
name
Then,click on
list database
and user for a
check that the
new database
create or not
Next, click on
"add new
user" option of
our creted
database,and
give user name
and password
for that new
databese
Run and Install

11. 6 | P a g e
The other attributes of pages are:
 Pages are for content that is less time-dependent than Posts.
 Pages can be organized into pages and subpages.
 Pages can use different Page Templates which can include Template Files,
Template Tags and other PHP code.
 Pages may have a more complex array of readily available display adjustments
when using sophisticated Themes with extensive customization.
 In essence, Pages are for non-blog content. It is possible to remove all or most
Posts from a WRODPRESS installation, and thus to create a standard non-blog
website.
Creating Pages
To create a new Page, log in to the
WRODPRESS installation with sufficient
admin privileges to create new articles.
Select the Pages > Add New option to begin
writing a new Page.
Organizing New Pages
The page can edit by using tools and
publish them. We can also create
subpages within the Pages by
selecting the page has parent or do
not have parent from drop box under
the left side page attribute.

12. 7 | P a g e
Menu Creation:
Creating of is very important for building a website because, without any menu created the
pages are not visible in our web site. So, we should know the way of menu created. Steps are-
 Click on Appearance > Menus
 Inside the menu, we might write down a name of that menu. Then, click on “Create
Menu”
 Next, there is new page will appear. Where we select all pages we created and click
on “Add to Menu”.
 Selected pages will add with new menu. However, we can arrange that the menu as
either primary or side menu and also we can organize the page in edit menu by drag them

Theme Download:
What is a Theme?
Fundamentally, the WRODPRESS Theme system is a way to "skin" the weblog. Yet, it is
more than just a "skin." Skinning the site implies that only the design is changed.
WRODPRESS Themes can provide much more control over the look and presentation of the
material on the website. We can also say that it is a collection of files that work together to
produce a graphical interface with an underlying unifying design for a weblog. A Theme
modifies the way the site is displayed, without modifying the underlying software. Themes
may include customized template
files, image files (*.jpg, *.gif), style
sheets (*.css), custom pages, as well
as any necessary code files (*.php).
I the Appearance Panel, there are
many themes available for download
that will work with the
WRODPRESS installation.
If the Theme that we are installing provides instructions, be sure to read through and follow
those instructions for the successful installation of the theme that it is recommended Theme
developers provide installation instructions for their own Themes, because Themes can
provide special optional functionality that may require more steps than the basic installation
steps covered here.
Using Themes:
WRODPRESS currently comes with three themes: the default “Twenty Fifteen”, and
previous “Twenty Fourteen” and “Twenty Thirteen” theme. We can switch between Themes
using the Appearance admin panel.
 Themes that we add to the theme directory will appear in the
 Administration Screen > Appearance > Themes as additional selections.

14. 9 | P a g e
Adding New Themes using the Administration Panels:
We can download Themes directly to the blog by using the Add New Themes option in the
Appearance sub-menu.
1. Log in to the WRODPRESS Administration Panels.
2. Select the Appearance panel, then Themes.
3. Select Add New
4. It is already connected WRODPRESS with online WRODPRESS.org. So, it will open
the theme page of WRODPRESS.org.
5. Then, either uses the any theme in the filter or search options to locate a theme we
would like to use.
6. Click on the Preview link to preview the Theme or the Install Now link to upload the
Theme to the blog,
7. Or use the Upload link in the top links row to upload a zipped copy of a Theme that
we have previously downloaded to the machine.
8. But, if any reason the WRODPRESS cannot be connected with WRODPRESS.org,
we will use alternative way.
9. Go to the www.WRODPRESS.org > click on “Themes”
10. Download the zip file of that theme
11. Then, transfer that unzip file of the theme by FileZila from PC to server.
12. Put that unzip folder of theme into wp-content > themes
That’s all for installing theme.

15. 10 | P a g e

Adding a product:
To add a product we have select
Products>Add product form
WRODPRESS admin panel.
Then we have to fill up the form by
submitting our product info.
What info we need to submit, an
example is given below.
1. Product name: First we have to type the product name.

20. 15 | P a g e
2. Product Categories and Tags: Then we have to
select product categories. Product categories and
tags work in much the same way as
normal categories and tags we have when writing
posts in WRODPRESS. They can be created,
edited, and selected at any time. This can be done
when we first create a product or come back and
edit it or the category/tag specifically.
3. Product Description: Here we have to put all out product detail information which buyer
needs to know.
4. Next, we have to select the product type. When adding a product, the first thing to
decide is what type of product it is.
 A Simple product type covers the vast majority of any products we may sell. Simple
products are shipped and have no options. For example, a book.
 A Grouped product is a collection of related products that can be purchased
individually and only consist of simple products. For example, a set of six drinking
glasses.
 A Virtual product is one that doesn’t require shipping. For example, selling a service.
 A Downloadable product is much like a virtual one. It’s not shipping but the
customers are given a downloadable file. For example, digital album, PDF magazine, or
even photo.
 An External or Affiliate product is one that we list and describe on the website but is
sold elsewhere.
 A Variable product is a product that has variations, each of which may have a
different SKU, price, stock option, etc. For example, a t-shirt available in different colors
and/or sizes.
Our product is t-shirt. So it is a variable product.

21. 16 | P a g e
5. Then we have to submit the other information according to our product.
Here we have to provide Weight, Dimensions and Shipping class information.
Here we have to add inventory related information

22. 17 | P a g e
In the “Linked Products” tab, we can add other product which are similar or upgraded from
this product.
Here we can “Attributes”.
In the “Variation” tab we can add variation option of our
products for the buyer to choose.
We can add our product thumbnail image and product gallery image by clicking here.

23. 18 | P a g e
Contact Page Plugin: With the help of
this plugin we can create a contact page
that is easy to maintain, with some
special features like fully customizable
Google Maps integration, twitter feed
and direct link to our official Twitter,
Facebook and LinkedIn Profile.
 Phone Number
 Address
 E-mail Address
 Facebook
 Twitter
 LinkedIn
 Google map location
YITH Woocommerce Compare:
YITH Woocommerce Compare plugin
is an extension of Woocommerce
plugin that allow our users to compare
some products of our shop. All products
are saved in one complete table where
the user can see the difference between
the products. Each product features can
be set with the Woocommerce
attributes in the product configuration.
We can also add a simple widget with
the list of products the users have
added, where you can manage them.
Also we can simply customize the

24. 19 | P a g e
compare table with our style, by editing the specific template.
 Add the features in each product by setting the attributes in prouct configuration;
 Configure the options in YIT Plugin -> Compare;
 The user of your shop will click in the "Compare" button located in the single product
page;
 Will be open a popup with the compare table inside.
YITH Woocommerce Product Add-Ons Plugin: With YITH Woocommerce Product Add-
ons you'll be able to increase your customers' propensity to spend more and you'll be able to
cut off time dedicated to managing additional options for each product separately. How? Let's
imagine you have a jewellery store and one of your customers is going to purchase a ring: if
variations can let them decide whether they prefer it in gold, silver or copper, how can you let
them have a brief sentence carved on it and associate an extra cost to this in product page?
YITH Product Add-ons allows you either to add a text field where your users can enter their
sentence or select the one you have already configured for them through checkboxes or radio
buttons in product page. And you'll forget about long and messy email correspondences
where the risk to mix up orders from different customers is just around the corner.

25. 20 | P a g e
Features:
 Create groups of options And choose to use them for all products of the shop, only for
specific categories or limited on a single product
 Choose from different options Checkbox and Radio button
 Set dependency between the options To show a dropdown option only to users who
selected the one that depends on it
 Increase the cost of product by assigning a fixed price to any of the options selected
by user
 Specify single options By setting label and description
 Show a tooltip for the product add-ons

26. 21 | P a g e
Coupon:
Coupons are a great way to offer discounts and rewards to you customers and help to promote
sale across your shop.
The Woocommerce coupon is a great way to give your customers discounts on products and
service. In tutorial I will show you how to create a coupon and demonstrate the flexibility of
expriration dates and usage per coupon.
How are coupons used in ecommerce sites?
Discount type
 Cart discount- A fixed total discount for the total cart. Example: $20
 Cart % discount- A percentage of discount for the total cart. Example:5%
 Product discount- A fixed total discount for selected products only.
 Product %discount- A percentage discount for selected products only.
Allow free shipping- It has the feature that we can disable the shipping cost when coupon is
used. So that, buyer is unable to buy our products below the certain amount.
Coupon expiry date- What date the coupon should expire and no longer be used. For
example; if we want the coupon to be end on August, write 31.8.2016 in expire date
selection.
Usage Restriction
 Minimum spend - you have to set the minimum price needed to use the coupon.
 Maximum spend - you have to set the maximum price allowed when using the
coupon.
 Individual use only - Tick the box if you don't %%ant this coupon to he used in

28. 23 | P a g e
Other plugins installation and way of using
Adding Social button
If we want to add social button before or after our post, products, pages, download, we can
use “Wpsocialite” or “Add this”. Both of these sites are using for same task. So, we can use
only one plugin for adding social button.
The “Wpsocialite” has extra one benefit than “Add this”. The benefit is that the social button
(Facebook, Google+, and Linked In.) gives the status of view or like or share of the viethe on
the specific social site. Which takes a lot of times for a page loading, but in the Wpsocialite it
works differently. It takes little time for page loading because social button is not showing the
status of viethe at first time of login, when the cursor of mouse run over the social button or
scroll the page it show the status. So, it works little bit quicker.
We need to work on Wpsocialite settings for modifying the social icon. Here, below the
screen shots of setting with explanation are given:

29. 24 | P a g e
Creating Contract from
In E-commerce web site, we
need to display a form on
the page, and how to
customize the forms and
mail. We also create a
contract from for getting
feedback of consumer.
Plugin contract from 7
When we install the
“contract from 7”, a new
option will come up in the
left side bar of
WRODPRESS site.

30. 25 | P a g e
Displaying a Form
Let’s start with displaying a form on the page. First, open the ‘Contact’ > ‘Contact Forms’
menu on the WRODPRESS administration panel. We can manage multiple contact forms
there.
Just after installing the Contact Form 7 plugin, we’ll see a default form named “Contact form
1”, and a code like this:
[Contact-form-7 id="1234" title="Contact form 1"]
Copy this code. Then, open the edit menu of the page (‘Pages’ > ‘Edit’) into which we wish
to place the contact form. A popular practice is creating a page named “Contact” for the
contact form page. Paste the code we copied into the contents of the page.
Now the contact form setup is complete. Visitors to the site can now find the form and start
submitting messages to we. Moreover, we can customize the form and mail content. Because.
We may feel that the default form is too simple for we and we want to add more fields to it.
Some uses of fields are given below-

31. 26 | P a g e
Select and Select*
Both select and select* represent a drop-down menu (<select> in HTML). select* requires the
user to select at least one option from the menu.
Available options for select and select*
Option Examples Description
id:(id) id: foo id attribute value of the select element.
class:(class) class: bar
class attribute value of the select element. To set two or
more classes, we can use multiple class: option.
default:(num)
default:2
default:1_2_3
Pre-selected options. The integer following default: is the
position in the order of items. 1 is the first one. If we want
to make two or more items selected, joint integers with
under bar (_), as default:1_2_3.
multiple Make drop-down menu multi-selectable.
include blank
Insert a blank item into the top of options of this drop-down
menu.
first as_ label Use the first value as a label.
data:(name)
data:
countries
Get the values from Lists.

32. 27 | P a g e
These types of tags have one or more values, and the values will be used as options in the
drop-down menu.
Example:
[Select the-country "China" "India" "San Marino"]
Quiz
In order to distinguish a form submission by a computer program versus one from a human,
and also to block them, we’ve been able to use CAPTCHAs with Contact Form 7. However,
CAPTCHAs are hard to use in some cases. Some people have difficulty in answering
CAPCHA, or simply dislike answering them. Managing CAPTCHA needs graphic libraries
installed on the server, which are not always provided.
In some cases, a simpler approach is more suitable. With this quiz feature, If the senders
prefer math, change the tag to look something like:
[quiz math-quiz "12+48=?|60"]
We can use any question and answer. To submit the form, the sender has to input the correct
answer.
Plugin Flamingo:
Flamingo is one kind of plugin which is working as supporting plugin for creating any
contract from. The website owner or creator can keep the track that how many viethe send
mail by contract from. Flamingo provides the number of mail sender.
Backing Up WRODPRESS:
It might be possible that server can be crushed by any incident, for that reason we have to
keep back up of WRODPRESS and database. A good number of data of web design and
login information are generally saved in phpMyAdmin database. So it is important to have a
back up of this database. There are two ways or having backup.
1. Manual
2. Using backup plugins

At first we are going learn how take manual backup for wordpress and database. So create a
new folder or directory for backup. This is named by ‘WP Backup”.
WRODPRESS backup
The WRODPRESS site consists of the
following files they are WRODPRESS
Core, Installation, Plugins, Themes, Images
and Files, JavaScript, PHP scripts, and other
code files. Everything that has anything to
do with the look and feel of the site is in a
file somewhere and needs to be backed up.
Additionally, there are three items, are very
important in WRODPRESS. They are “wp-
content,” “.htaccess” & “wp-confiq.php”.we
must back up all these 3 files in the
WRODPRESS directory (including
subdirectories)
These three items can find in the unzip
folder of WRODPRESS at server. These are
stored in “public_html”. We need to use
FileZila for transfer these 3 form server to
PC’s “WP Backup”.

Database backup:
When we are done with creating
WRODPRESS backup, now we will
create database backup. The reason
behind this, all
Using phpMyAdmin
The phpMyAdmin is the name of the
program used to manipulate the
database. .
Quick backup process
When we backup all tables in the
WRODPRESS database without
compression, we can use simple
method. To restore this backup, the
new database should not have any
tables.
1. Login into phpMyAdmin on
the server
2. From left side window, select
the WRODPRESS database. In this
example, the name of database is
"wp".
3. The right side window will
show we all the tables inside the
WRODPRESS database.
4. Now, select the “Check all”
below the table.
5. Then, click the 'Export' tab on
the top set of tabs. If we want to
change default behavior, select
Custom backup.

6. Select Custom option. Detail options are displayed.
7. All the tables in the database are selected.
8. For avoid the double data transfer, under the object creation option everything will be
same except check Add DROP TABLE & uncheck CREATE PROCEDURE
/FUNCTION statement. Before table creation on target database, it will call DROP
statement to delete the old existing table if exist.
9. At end press by mouse on “GO”. All data are saving at the “WP Backup”.

Recovering the data:
Since we have all backup, we can recover the WRODPRESS in no times. At first, use the
FileZila in same way and drag the three items (wp-content, .htaccess, wp_confiq.php) from
WP Backup folder of PC to wp folder of server. Then, Import all data of database from WP
Backup folder of PC.

Using Backup pulgins:
There are several plugins for backup. “WRODPRESS Backup to Dropbox” and “BackWPup”
are mostly use for backup.
How to use WRODPRESS Backup to Dropbox
When our server can connect with internet, we go to plugins; select add new and search
“WRODPRESS Backup to Dropbox”. After finding the backup plugin, we will install it. It
might be automatic update and appear on WRODPRESS plugins. The use of WPB2D is
given below-

Delete database:
If any reason we want to delete WRODPRESS and database, we must take backup of these
by following above instruction. Then, we might delete those from both sides. One is server by
FileZila and another one form database of My SQL manager. At first, open FileZila and give
server ID (192.168.0.61), user name and, password. Then, click on Quick connect for
connecting our PC with the
certain server. After
connecting, we will find some
folder of server such as; img,
public html etc. We will delete
whole folder within public html
which contain all data of
WRODPRESS. Secondly, we
are going to My SQL manager
for deleting the database. In
addition, we can also delete
database form phpMyAdmin.
 Go to Database
 Select “Check all”
under the table
 Beside it select “Drop”
form the drop box
 All data will delete.

Limitation
There are different kinds problematic situation we have to face. Server domain name
change or IP address change is one kind of problem we used to face.
If any reason suddenly the IP address or domain name change, and that are why we are facing
login problem and the E-site is not showing properly. The reason of this problem is in
database carry the old domain name. On the database, we need to run the following SQL
commands, making sure to replace the 'olddomain.com' and 'newdomain.com' with he right
names. More elaborately, when the domain name is changed, the old domain name is not
removed for the database. We need to replace the old domain with new domain name. The
steps are given below-
 Go to this link : https://WRODPRESS.org/support/topic/updated-sql-for-
moving-a-WRODPRESSorg-install-to-a-new-domain
 From this site we need to copy some command code
 Then, paste those in SQL of phpMyAdmin and edit those code commands
above the screen shot shows.
