Troubleshooting

You may encounter an error message using the One-Click setup method. Since WordPress auto installation is done once the account is signed up, when you try to install WordPress from your end, you get an error similar to the images below.

This means that a current WordPress is installed on the domain. To troubleshoot the error, check if WordPress is connected to the domain name and verify the status.

Account Manager

1. Click the Hosting tab from the side navigation.
   
2. Select the website that you need to troubleshoot and click Manage.
   
3. Check also the domain link to see if it will open up the WordPress dashboard. Click the Log into WordPress button to test it.
