What to do after installing the WordPress CMS on the Server?


After installing WordPress you have to make some basic changes in your WordPress dashboard. These changes are very basic but I would say these are must do the task. So read the post and try to implement those must do a task which should be done after installation.

  • Install iThemes Security

After installation, I would say your prime task will be installing a security plugin to ensure the security of your blog. There are several WordPress security plugins available, but I recommend to use iThemes Security.

Here on our site, we use iThemes Security plugins for the security purpose. It’s free and easy to use.

To install the plugin and ensure ultra security for your website.

  • Change the Permalink

The second change should be done by changing WordPress permalinks. This is very important for both good looking url structure and search engine optimization.

When you change the default permalinks to post names or custom structure, then the URL of your site will turn into being an SEO friendly URL.

In WordPress the default URL structure is like http://www.domain.com/p=123 this is short but not good looking and search engine friendly.

Recommended permalink for a WordPress site

On the other hand, when you’ll set post name permalinks, it will look like http://www.domin.com/post-name/ This is good looking and at the same time its search engine friendly.

For your better understanding, if you write a post named “how to make coffee” and if the URL looks like http://www.domain.com/p=124, then nobody can understand what the post actually is.

But if the URL looks like: http://www.domin.com/how-to-make-coffee/, then anybody can easily understand that the post is all about how to make coffee.

So, I recommend you to change the permalinks from default to post name permalinks structure. Best permalink structure of WordPress site.

By default WordPress use only one ping service, but the good news is that you can always update the ping list. Just copy the following ping list and update it.
