This guide explains how to install WordPress from inside your AdminBolt Client Panel.
Step 1 - Open AdminBolt
Log in to your AdminBolt Client Panel. From the Home screen, locate the WordPress Management section.
Step 2 - Click Install WordPress
In the left menu, open WordPress Management, then click Install WordPress.
Step 3 - Select the Domain and Installation Path
Select the domain you want to install WordPress on.
In the Installation Path field:

On the Advanced Options screen, you can select the WordPress language and timezone.
Most Australian users should select:
