Question

For Example: Tutorials / YouTube shows the section

Create A DropLet
Choose An Image
Distribution Container Distribution One-Click Apps

In my DigitialOcean Site:

Create A DropLet
Choose An Image
Distribution Container Distribution Marketplace Custom Images.

I clicked on Marketplace to search for WordPress, and then it won’t be found. So I saw the link in the right side saying “Learn More” with one-click wordpress app. That would go back to the same page where I am. Please help.

Hi there @asadmoosa,

What I could suggest here is to visit this link here:

https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/wordpress

Then click on the ‘Create WordPress Droplet’ button, and this would take you to your DigitalOcean Control Panel with the WordPress 1-click image already selected.

After that all you would need to select is:

The size of your Droplet
The location and the
Your SSH keys
Enable backups
And the name of your Droplet

Finally, just hit the create a Droplet button

Let me know if you have any questions!
Regards,
Bobby

“Then click on the ‘Create WordPress Droplet’ button, and this would take you to your DigitalOcean Control Panel with the WordPress 1-click image already selected.”

When I clicked on ‘Create WordPress DropLet" button, it takes me to my DO Control Panel, but I don’t see the WordPress 1-Click image already selected. I wish I could attach the screenshot of what I see.

  Hi there @asadmoosa,
  
  This is the screen that you get to after clicking on the ‘Create WordPress DropLet" button:
  
  Then you can just follow the steps further down and create your Droplet.
  
  Also if you go to the Marketpace page in the DigitalOcean Control panel and search for WordPress, note that you need to scroll a bit further down to see all of the results, here’s an example:
  
  Hope that this helps and let me know how it goes.

  Yes, that is so perfect! Truly appreciate your patience. Different topic. My understanding is that one-click wordpress install only uses Apache not Nginx? Is that right? If I would rather use Nginx, I need to install manually?

  Hi there @asadmoosa,
  
  You are welcome :)
  
  Regarding Nginx, as this would require quite a bit of change, what I could suggest here is either starting from scratch and following this step by step guide here on how to set up WordPress with Nginx and PHP-FPM:
  
  https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-wordpress-with-lemp-on-ubuntu-18-04
  
  Or what you could do is use the 1 Click LEMP Image from the Marketpace and then just install WordPress on top of that:
  
  https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/lemp
  
  The benefit of using this image is that it comes with NGINX, MySQL, and PHP-FPM installed and configured on your Droplet.
  
  A third option would be to keep everything as it is and just install Nginx as a reverse proxy for your Apache server:
  
  https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-nginx-as-a-web-server-and-reverse-proxy-for-apache-on-one-ubuntu-18-04-server
  
  Hope that this helps!

  Sorry to bother you. One more thing: Do you have a documentation on how to transfer (copy) everything themes / db from old wordpress to a new wordpress and old wordpress should remain the same?

  Hi there @asadmoosa,
  
  I don’t have this on file, but I can put a short tutorial in place.
  
  Are you interested in having a copy of your site on a new Droplet or running 2 sites on the same Droplet?
