How to set up a fresh Wordpress install

This is my take on a Wordpress install from scratch

Before install

  1. Download fresh new version from Wordpress.org every new install
  2. Create new database user for WP specifically
  3. Use long and strong passwords for everything, never reuse
  4. Admin-username is not admin or similar, never reuse

Themes and plugins

My preferred setup

  1. GeneratePress
  2. GeneratePress Premium
  3. GenerateBlocks
  4. GenerateBlocks Pro
  5. Yoast SEO
  6. ManageWP - Worker
  7. EWWW Image Optimizer
  8. Yoast Dupliser innlegg
  9. White Label CMS
  10. Block Navigation

Settings

  1. Permalinks (flat)
  2. Media: 300x300, 600x600, 1920x1920
  3. Discussion: do not allow
  4. Check time and date format
  5. Import setting for White Label CMS
  6. Google and Bing verification code for Yoast
  7. Connect to ManageWP (Orion)
  8. Delete all extra themes, except last official WP theme
  9. Turn on modules features in GeneratePress
  10. Delete example comment and article

Plugins for extra features

  1. WPForms Lite (easy) / Contact Form 7 (custom, old school)
    • Activate turnstile captcha
    • Simple Cloudflare Turnstile
