New WordPress Sites¶
Start here when a new WordPress site needs to be created on Fused. Installation is usually the easy part; the important follow-up work is SSL, backups, updates, security, and testing before launch.
New Site Tasks¶
-
Install WordPress
Add a new WordPress install using the current cPanel tooling.
-
SSL
Confirm the new site uses HTTPS consistently.
-
Maintenance checklist
Review the baseline tasks that keep the site healthy.
-
Security
Review access, updates, plugins, and hardening before launch.
Before Launch¶
Confirm:
- The domain points to the right Fused account.
- SSL works.
- Backups are available.
- Administrator access is limited.
- Unused starter content, plugins, and themes are removed.
- Contact forms, checkout, and login workflows have been tested.
