• I set up on average one new wordpress site a week for various clients. I created my own guideline document of things that i tweak and change [B]once i have installed wordpress on the server[/B].

    Please find my list below.

    01 – go to settings > general: and change the tag line & time format
    02 – go to settings > discussion: and customize the comment settings
    03 – go to settings > media: and customize the image dimensions
    04 – go to settings > permalinks: and change the settings to post name
    05 – go to appearance > themes: and activate theme
    06 – add pages (home, news, about, contact etc…)
    07 – create main menu, add pages, set main menu as main
    08 – set front page to be home page, set post page to be news page
    09 – install plugins

    I would love to hear what other people change / tweak once they have installed wordpress ??

  • Hi oo7ml

    It seems you forgot security, the most important part ?? Such as do not use the default admin account and use it only for maintenance. Everyone should have his own account and the most permissions they can get is of Editor.

    That is just to start with….

    Hi Johnb81, thanks for your reply…

    Can you elaborate on what you mean please, thanks…

    For example I recommend blog owners not to use the administrator account. Such account, with admin privileges should have a very strong password (one to forget and written on a paper somewhere) and should only be used to update plugins or to do any other “admin work”.

    All other accounts should only have Editor, Author or other privilges. Accounts for content generation should never have administrator privileges.
