Choosing Your WordPress Installation Method on BitReveal

When setting up WordPress on BitReveal, you have two installation options. Understanding the differences between them will help you choose the one that best fits your needs and experience level.

Option 1: Default WordPress Installation (Clean Install)

This option gives you a fresh WordPress installation without any pre-installed plugins or themes.

Who should choose this:

• You already have experience with WordPress
• You own or plan to purchase a specific theme editor (like Elementor, Divi, Breakdance, or Bricks)
• You know exactly which plugins you want to use
• You prefer starting with a clean setup and adding only what you need

What you'll get:

• A standard WordPress installation
• Complete control over which plugins and themes to add
• No unnecessary features that you might not use

Keep in mind:

• You'll need to install a theme and editor separately
• Most professional theme editors require a paid license

Option 2: WordPress with Pre-installed Package

This installation comes with PopularFX theme and Pagelayer editor, plus several professional plugins already set up.

Who should choose this:

• You're new to WordPress
• You don't have a preferred theme editor yet
• You want to save money on premium plugins
• You prefer having helpful tools ready from the start

What you'll get:

• PopularFX theme with hundreds of theme options to choose from during installation
• Pagelayer editor for designing your pages (free alternative to paid editors)
• Professional plugins included:
  
  Backuply - Creates automatic backups of your website
  SiteSEO - Helps optimize your site for search engines
  SoftWP AI - AI assistant for content writing
  SpeedyCache - Improves your website loading speed
  GoSMTP - Ensures reliable email delivery from your site

Keep in mind:

• Your WordPress dashboard will have more options initially, which might feel overwhelming
• You can skip installing any of these plugins during setup
• You can uninstall any plugin later if you don't need it

Making Your Decision

Both options will give you a fully functional WordPress website. The main difference is whether you start with a clean slate (Option 1) or with helpful tools already installed (Option 2). There's no wrong choice - it simply depends on your preferences and requirements.

If you're unsure, Option 2 might be the safer choice since you can always remove plugins you don't need, but you can't get the free premium plugins from Option 1 later without purchasing them separately.
