== Setting Up WordPress Hosting Products ==

To get started with WHMCS's WordPress automation, set up a WordPress hosting product:

# Go to '''Configuration (<i class="fa fa-wrench" aria-hidden="true"></i>) > System Settings > Products/Services'''.
# Click '''Create a New Product'''.
# Choose the desired product settings and module.
# Click '''Continue'''.
# Select the '''Module Settings''' tab.
# Make certain that you have selected the correct module and package settings.
# From the first '''Install WordPress''' menu, select one of the following options:
#* '''Allow Admin Installation''' — Allow admins to install WordPress via the WHMCS Admin Area.
#* '''Don't Allow Admin Installation''' — Do not allow admins to install WordPress via the WHMCS Admin Area.
# From the second '''Install WordPress''' menu, select one of the following options:
#* '''Allow Client Installation''' — Allow users to install WordPress via the WHMCS Client Area.
#* '''Don't Allow Client Installation''' — Do not allow users to install WordPress via the WHMCS Client Area.
# From the third '''Install WordPress''' menu, select one of the following options:
#* '''Install Automatically''' — Automatically provision a WordPress installation while creating the hosting account.
#* '''No Automatic Installations''' — Do not provision a WordPress installation while creating the hosting account.
# If you selected '''Install Automatically''', the following additional settings will appear:
## '''Blog Title''' — Enter the title to use for the provisioned WordPress installation '''or''' click '''Create Custom Field''' to create a [[Custom Fields|custom field]] for this value.
## '''WordPress Path''' — Enter the directory in which you want to install WordPress '''or''' click '''Create Custom Field''' to create a [[Custom Fields|custom field]] for this value.
## '''Admin Password''' — Click '''Create Custom Field''' to create a [[Custom Fields|custom field]] for this value.
##* When you click '''Create Custom Field''', WHMCS will save your settings, the page will reload, and a new custom field will be available in the '''Custom Fields''' tab.
##** This allows clients and admins to specify values for each item prior to provisioning.
##** Do '''not''' rename custom fields that you create in this way.
##* For security purposes, you '''cannot''' manually set a default admin password.
# Configure the remaining product settings in this and other tabs as desired.
# Click '''Save Changes'''.

For more information about creating a product and the available product settings, see [[Products and Services]].

WHMCS admins can view a client's WordPress installations in the client's profile's '''Products/Services''' tab.

To manage an existing WordPress installation, select the desired WordPress installation from the menu and click '''Visit Homepage'''. A new tab will open and display the WordPress installation's main page.

To install a new WordPress installation, you can optionally choose to enter a blog title, path, and password. Then, click '''Install'''.

== WordPress in the Client Area ==

After purchase and provisioning, your customers can go to the product details page in the WHMCS Client Area to access their WordPress installations.

To manage WordPress installations, users can select an existing installation from the menu. Clicking '''Go to Website''' directs the user to the WordPress installation's main page and clicking '''Admin''' directs the user to the WordPress installation's login page.

If you selected '''Allow Client Installation''' while configuring the product, clients can also add WordPress installations by entering a title, path, and password, and then clicking '''Install'''.
