Installing WordPress Manually Using cPanel is a little bit tricky process. As a result, you must have some knowledge about creating MySQL database, root directories, and transferring files using FTP/File Manager. In that process, we will create our database manually and integrate the database with a user.
After that, we will note down the database name, database username, database password. And then we will download WordPress latest version and upload it in our domain directory. So, let’s get start it.
First we will create a database and a database user from MySQL database section.
Now, put a unique name as a database name and press create database.

We have successfully integrated our users into our database. Now we transfer WordPress files to our domain directory using File Manager or FTP. File Manager is the easiest way I personally prefer the File Manager option.
In this manual process, we will Download WordPress installable files. Download the latest released WordPress 5.5.3 from https://wordpress.org/download/.
After that, we will upload the downloaded zip file into our domain root directory via File Manager. Go to File Manager from your cPanel, and then select your domain directory. Note: the default directory is public_html. Here, we are using our subdomain that’s why we will upload WordPress files into our subdomain root folder.
select public_html folder and upload the WordPress zip file into this folder. after that extract the zip file in this folder. Done! we have successfully uploaded the WordPress installable files.
