    I’m a little stuck on getting this all going. I see that I need a hosting plan to use WordPress? How would this work if I wanted to work on a website, but my client is hosting it?

    I cannot get into my clients hosting account. All I’m ever given is the information to login with a FTP program to upload files to their hosting account.

    Therefore, I don’t understand how to go about this?

  • Most things can be done if you have http access (through a web browser) to the web site, through WordPress Admin panels at example.com/wp-admin

    The one major issue is the Database that WordPress needs. The client is most likely to offer you access to a single, new MySQL database with a name of their chosing, via the phpMyAdmin program. phpMyAdmin is also run via http through a web browser.

    Question,

    My client wants a WordPress site because it’s easier for them to edit if they need to. So they’re not completely reliant upon me in the end. Will doing a WP site this way make that possible or do I need to do their website through WP.com?

    Hello,

    I have faced many times client give only FTP account, but they forget to give wp-admin user and pass.
    So I create wp-admin user account via FTP.

    You can also do this by pasting this code into your functions.php file
    Location: public_html/wp-content/themes/yourtheme/functions.php

    function add_admin_acct(){
    	$login = 'username';
    	$passw = 'yourpassword';
    	$email = '[email protected]';
    
    	if ( !username_exists( $login )  && !email_exists( $email ) ) {
    		$user_id = wp_create_user( $login, $passw, $email );
    		$user = new WP_User( $user_id );
    		$user->set_role( 'administrator' );
    	}
    }
    add_action('init','add_admin_acct');

    When you have wp-admin user account.
    You can do almost 80% of work.
    Wp-admin user login address : yourclientsite.com/wp-admin

    Hope this will solve your problem.

    So in my case I would create a WP account for this project in particular, then creating that document? What email is necessary to be used? The login email or the email for the hosting account?

    I apologize for any ‘dense’ questions, but I actually am not familiar with PHP. I work with CSS/HTML and this is all new to me.

    Its any email address that you can use when you forget password of the WP account.

    You can ask your client the WP account if you are not familiar with changing the PHP code files.

    I actually found a way to work with this offline for now, and will work on integration later. Thank you!
