Plesk includes **WP Toolkit**, a powerful tool that lets you install, manage, and secure WordPress websites with just a few clicks. This guide covers installing WordPress on your domain using WP Toolkit.

### Installing WordPress (Quick Install)

1. Log in to **Plesk**.
2. Go to **WordPress** in the left navigation menu.
3. If you already have a domain added, click **Install**.
4. WP Toolkit will install the latest version of WordPress with default settings:
   - Your Plesk login credentials will be used as the WordPress admin credentials.
   - The database will be created automatically.
   - SSL will be enabled if available.- Click **Install** to proceed.
   - The installation will complete in a few seconds. Click **Log in** on the installation card to access your WordPress dashboard.

### Installing WordPress (Custom Install)

For more control over the installation:

1. Go to **WordPress**.
2. Click **Install (Custom)**.
3. Configure the following settings:
   - **Domain:** Select the domain where WordPress will be installed.
   - **Installation path:** Leave as root (`/`) or specify a subdirectory (e.g., `/blog`).
   - **WordPress version:** Choose a specific version or use the latest.
   - **Site title:** The name of your website.

### Registering an Existing WordPress Installation

If WordPress was installed manually or before WP Toolkit was available:

1. Go to **WordPress**.
2. Click **Scan**.
3. Plesk will find any WordPress installations and add them to WP Toolkit.

### Important Notes

- WP Toolkit is free and included with the Web Host edition of Plesk.
- Installing WordPress on a domain that already has files will overwrite existing content in the document root.
- You can install multiple WordPress instances on the same domain using different subdirectories.
- Always use **custom installation** if you want to set your own admin username and password.

### Troubleshooting

**"WordPress" option is not visible in the menu:**

- WP Toolkit may not be installed. Contact your hosting provider.

**Installation fails:**

- Ensure the domain has sufficient disk space and a working database.
- Check that PHP is enabled for the domain.

**Cannot access WordPress admin after installation:**

- Use the **Log in** button on the WordPress installation card in WP Toolkit.
- Clear your browser cache and try again.
