Template Setup instructions

Hosting is required for your website to live online.

To get started with your website template, you’ll need a service to host your WordPress site.  There are many hosting companies to choose from. For a WordPress hosting provider, we do NOT recommend:
  • GoDaddy
  • Bluehost
  • Dreamhost
  • Namecheap
These services tend to be at the top of search results or reviews and have attractive rates, but they will be a headache later. We recommend WP Engine They are optimized for WordPress and will give you great service and user experience. They even install WordPress for you by request. You may also want to look at Rocket. If you need assistance you may need to hire a web admin to help you with this. You can find experts on sites like upwork.com or fiverr.com or you can contact our trusted partner, Alvarado Web Solutions.

The most popular website CMS platform to help you manage your website.

If you decideto use a hosting provider that did not install WordPress out of the box, you’ll need to install this on your own.

Make the required changes to your site after template installation.

Now that your template has been imported to your website, you will need to change a few settings to ensure it’s configured for your use: 

WordPress User

When the template imports, it creates a default user account that needs to be changed for security purposes.

Navigate to Users > Add New. Enter your own email address for the username and email fields. Choose a secure password. Select the Administrator role. Click the “Add New User” button:

Once your user account has been created, log out of the RMTcoach template account:

Log back into WordPress using your new login. Navigate to the Users section and delete the RMTcoach template login:

Click the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the page. Note: when the administration email address is changed, you will receive an email at the new address confirming the change. You must confirm this change by clicking the link in the email. 

Settings > Reading

To allow Google and other search engines to see your site, you’ll want to UNCHECK the box under Settings > Reading for Search engine Visibility. If you’d prefer to wait until you’ve customized your site before proceeding with this step that is ok, but be sure to remember to come back when you launch your site so that you can be found by search: 

Plugins

In the WordPress Admin > Plugins area, you can delete the Akismet Anti-Spam and Hello Dolly plugins. These are built in on all new installations, but are not necessary for your site: 

You also no longer need the All-in-One WP Migration plugin. You can deactivate and delete this plugin as well.
