Setup wizard step by step
On this page
The wizard opens when FluxWP Panel is activated. You can skip it and return from FluxWP Panel → Setup wizard.
Steps
- Welcome: review what FluxWP will install and start.
- Site type: choose a store (FluxWP theme and Flux Commerce) or association/donations (FluxWP theme and Flux Donate), or continue without a selection. Required external plugins such as WooCommerce are installed from WordPress.org.
- Plugins: review the recommended selections by category. Unchecked plugins can be installed later from Packages.
- Appearance: set the site name, tagline and logo; choose a preset or an empty site, a colour style and starter pages. Review the live preview.
- Install: each package has a progress row and console output. Retry failed packages from Packages.
- Ready: open the site or dashboard.
Usage data
The optional usage data checkbox is off by default. When enabled it sends the site URL, WordPress/PHP versions, timezone and language to the update server. Otherwise only the package information needed for updates is sent. Change consent in FluxWP Panel → Settings.
Troubleshooting
If the wizard does not open, activate the plugin as a site administrator and open it from the menu. If hosting terminates a request, reopen the wizard: installed packages are skipped. On an existing site, preview a preset before applying it.
