Important: Only one CMS application can be active per service. If another CMS is already active, it must be deactivated before proceeding.

Step 3: Pre-installation configuration

Once WordPress is activated, a configuration form will appear with various fields. These options allow you to customize your installation before launching the automatic setup:

a. Basic WordPress parameters

• Site name: This will be the main title of your website.
• Description: This will appear in the browser tab and in your site's metadata.
• Language: Choose the language you want for the WordPress admin panel.

b. Access credentials

• Administrator name: Full name of the person responsible for the site.
• Administrator email: Email address associated with the admin, used for notifications and recovery.
• Username/Nickname: Username for logging into WordPress.
• Password: Secure password for the above user.

c. Email sending configuration

WordPress will send emails from your site (e.g., for password resets or notifications). This is automatically configured using SMTP. You can choose to:

• Use an existing email account.
• Create a new email account during this process.

d. Automatic updates

You can choose whether WordPress should update automatically. Three main options are available:

• No automatic updates.
• Only minor updates.
