Thanks for your replies. I am not technically minded and I’ve only recently bought hosting and im figuring my way around cPanel. If there’s an easier way to do something I usually do it that way. I’ve heard a manual WordPress installation isn’t that hard but with Softaculous it’s just a few clicks.
Can someone confirm the problems with Softaculous that jonradio mentioned, or any other problems they’ve had? From what I’ve read it’s generally considered a better auto installer than something like Fantastico, as it doesn’t create a file like Fantastico’s fantversion.php (security risk) and to upgrade it you use the WordPress upgrade tool, unlike other auto installers.
