To install a new WordPress installation, go to WordPress and click Install.
Here you can:
-

A new installation appears in the list of all existing WordPress installations in WordPress.
Adding existing WordPress Installations to WordPress Toolkit
All WordPress installations added using the WordPress Toolkit or through the Applications page appear in WordPress Toolkit automatically; those installed manually need to be attached to WordPress Toolkit. If you have upgraded from an earlier version of Plesk and you used WordPress, we recommend that you attach all existing WordPress installations to WordPress Toolkit.
To attach WordPress installations to WordPress Toolkit:
- Go to WordPress.
- Click Scan.
The WordPress installation was attached and is now shown in the list of existing WordPress installations in WordPress.
Importing WordPress Installations
You can use the “Web Site Migration” feature to migrate WordPress websites owned by you but hosted elsewhere to Plesk. When you migrate a WordPress website, Plesk copies all its files and the database to your server. Once a website has been migrated, you can manage it using WordPress Toolkit.
To migrate an existing WordPress website, go to Websites & Domains > WordPress, click Import, and then follow the instructions here.
