1
00:00:01,100 --> 00:00:01,670
Hello and welcome.

2
00:00:01,670 --> 00:00:06,890
Now when you first get to your WordPress site it's going to look something like this depending on what

3
00:00:06,890 --> 00:00:08,310
version that you have.

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,900
And there are going to be some things that you want to do right from the start.

5
00:00:11,900 --> 00:00:17,870
You'll notice that our WordPress is in a directory test WB direct and the first thing we're going to

6
00:00:17,870 --> 00:00:19,290
do is log in.

7
00:00:19,460 --> 00:00:26,540
Now you can log in either from the left side menu but you don't want to always keep this left side menu

8
00:00:26,540 --> 00:00:26,990
there.

9
00:00:26,990 --> 00:00:33,840
And so what you're going to want to do is learn how to log in as if you did not have a menu here.

10
00:00:33,860 --> 00:00:36,630
So what you do is to go to the end of your directory.

11
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:47,000
You type in WP and then you type in a dash and then you type in a D I M N and then hit enter that's

12
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:50,010
actually going to bring you to a log in screen.

13
00:00:50,090 --> 00:00:56,000
And when you get to that log in screen you're going to want to type in your log in user name and then

14
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,570
you're going to want to write in a password.

15
00:00:58,580 --> 00:01:04,950
Now I'm going to do that right now you'll remember that is the user name that we created.

16
00:01:04,950 --> 00:01:06,820
That's the password that we created.

17
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,350
You can click remember me and then you're going to click log in.

18
00:01:10,350 --> 00:01:12,120
That's what we're going to do right now.

19
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:20,070
Once we do that of course we will be inside of the WordPress dashboard.

20
00:01:20,300 --> 00:01:26,690
Now routinely when you get to the inside for the first time you're going to see a couple of things that

21
00:01:26,690 --> 00:01:28,680
you are going to be familiar with.

22
00:01:28,790 --> 00:01:31,900
In some cases and in other cases it may be new to you.

23
00:01:31,970 --> 00:01:36,860
One of the first things you'll see is whether or not your version of WordPress needs to be updated.

24
00:01:37,460 --> 00:01:43,620
Now you are going to want to do these updates because this is what keeps your WordPress from being hacked.

25
00:01:43,700 --> 00:01:47,800
Typically if there is a security vulnerability there is an update.

26
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:53,270
And you'll typically want to take care of this unless there is some compelling reason why you do not

27
00:01:53,270 --> 00:01:53,930
want to do it.

28
00:01:53,960 --> 00:02:02,500
So you see an update go ahead and click the update now you're going to see a screen that looks like

29
00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:05,310
this and then you're just going to want to update your WordPress

30
00:02:14,920 --> 00:02:20,110
WordPress will typically go through a process and it will tell you welcome to the new WordPress.

31
00:02:20,140 --> 00:02:23,080
And I'll tell you that WordPress has been updated successfully

32
00:02:26,110 --> 00:02:30,520
and you'll see a new version of WordPress in most cases.

33
00:02:30,550 --> 00:02:35,410
Now one of the other things you're going to want to do is you're going to want to stop some of the spam

34
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,330
that's going to come into your site.

35
00:02:37,420 --> 00:02:43,630
One of the things that a potential hacker might look for are things that tend to be in the Web sites

36
00:02:43,630 --> 00:02:48,590
of people who just start out in Wordpress and they don't take care of them at the beginning.

37
00:02:48,640 --> 00:02:51,140
So we're going to take care of those things right now.

38
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,970
One of the first things we're going to do is we're going to go to the post area and you're going to

39
00:02:54,970 --> 00:03:01,670
click all posts and you're going to see a post there that's called Hello world.

40
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:09,560
You'll then want to go and click trash for that post then you'll want to go to your trash area at that

41
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:18,760
link you'll want to click the box and then you'll want to hover over where hello world and then delete

42
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:19,480
it permanently

43
00:03:22,510 --> 00:03:29,910
then you'll want to go to the pages area and do the same thing you're going to see a sample page you're

44
00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:37,170
going to click that button you're going to click trash then you're going to go into your trash and then

45
00:03:37,170 --> 00:03:39,120
you're going to delete that page permanently

46
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:49,900
now you'll then go to the comments area and if there are no comments then you are going to be in good

47
00:03:49,900 --> 00:03:50,220
shape.

48
00:03:50,230 --> 00:03:52,660
If there are you're going to want to delete those comments.

49
00:03:52,660 --> 00:03:59,170
But typically if we had deleted the post and the pages we won't have comments now the next thing we're

50
00:03:59,170 --> 00:04:04,300
going to do is we're going to look in this left side menu and one of the things that we'll talk about

51
00:04:04,300 --> 00:04:09,670
in a later video is that WordPress will give you notifications and when a potential plugin needs to

52
00:04:09,670 --> 00:04:13,200
be updated WordPress will give you this notification.

53
00:04:13,210 --> 00:04:20,630
You're gonna go to that install plugin area and then you're going to give that plug in an update.

54
00:04:20,930 --> 00:04:23,150
So you'll want to go to the update now.

55
00:04:23,150 --> 00:04:28,580
Area and then that will update the plug in.

56
00:04:28,890 --> 00:04:34,510
Now whenever you get to this area again one of the things that you're going to see right away is a plug

57
00:04:34,510 --> 00:04:39,130
in that's going to be an every installation Hello Dolly is typically a plug in.

58
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,370
You're not going to need.

59
00:04:40,380 --> 00:04:49,300
And so you're going to want to go ahead and delete that plug in your click delete files and then your

60
00:04:49,300 --> 00:04:51,010
plug in will be ready.

61
00:04:51,010 --> 00:04:56,470
Now there's one more thing that we're going to want to do in order to get our WordPress to ground zero

62
00:04:56,500 --> 00:05:02,760
and that is to go to the install plugins area and then we're going to want to activate our kismet.

63
00:05:03,300 --> 00:05:06,600
So we're going to go to this plug in and we're going to click activate

64
00:05:09,910 --> 00:05:15,040
and if you already have an a kismet account then you're going to want to activate that a kismet account.

65
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,060
If you don't have one you're going to want to set one up.

66
00:05:18,130 --> 00:05:25,570
So we're going to click activate your Kismet account now if you have ever installed WordPress before

67
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:28,440
you already have an API key.

68
00:05:28,660 --> 00:05:34,600
If you have not installed WordPress before you're going to want to go get an API key by going through

69
00:05:34,660 --> 00:05:36,350
this process.

70
00:05:36,460 --> 00:05:41,410
Now we're going to go ahead and put in our API key that we already have one and then we're going to

71
00:05:41,410 --> 00:05:41,710
click.

72
00:05:41,710 --> 00:05:42,970
Use this key.

73
00:05:42,970 --> 00:05:48,370
Now once your key has been entered a key summit will tell you it's now activated and you are now ready

74
00:05:48,370 --> 00:05:52,350
to start working with your WordPress site OK.

75
00:05:52,390 --> 00:05:55,660
So with that thanks and I'll see you in another video.
