Installation Service FAQ’s

What is the installation service refund policy?
The installation fee is non-refundable. The only case where the installation fee will be refunded is if the installation is unsuccessful.
How long will installation take?
We will attempt to install WordPress and Datafeedr on your server within 24 hours of receiving your order. If we require additional login credentials in order to access your server, installation may take longer.
How will I know when WordPress and Datafeedr have been installed?
We will email you when installation is complete with your new blog login information.
How can i install additional plugins/themes?
You can install additional plugins & themes via the WordPress admin panel.
Why does the WP Security Scan plugin say, 'The file .htaccess does not exist in wp-admin/.'?
Securing the wp-admin folder is outside of the realm of the installation service. If you would like to learn more about securing your wp-admin folder, please read this: Hardening WordPress - Securing wp-admin.
I already have WordPress installed. Can you just install the Datafeedr plugin.
Yes, but if we are dealing with a pre-existing WordPress blog, we will not be able to install WP Security Scan.
