Thanks for your video Will! I spent hours trying to figure out how I could set up a web server with certificates, redirection, etc. You answered all my questions! The explanations are very clear and allowed me to quickly set up a wordpress. Your content is of great quality, thank you!

This is one of the BEST instruction videos I have ever watched on KZread, you have done an absolutely fantastic job here, there is so much crucial information given to assist in setting this up properly. 10/10

At Minute 12:59 you create the virtual host, but here I am lost because version 7.2 is totally different, if you can check that Will would be infinitely grateful, regards.

I did not get WP correctly installed via the Synology app, this video made it work for me! It also explained what other settings needed to be configured on NAS and DNS side. Thanks!

Thank you so much. This is exactly what I needed. Finally I have the newest version of Wordpress on my NAS 🙂

Thank you very much for this video. It´s amazing ! y solved all my doubts with wordpress on synology !

Great guide. As others said there is a short deviation in the new version of Web Station, now you need to FIRST make a Web Service, and THEN make a Web Portal which is connected to that Web Service.

Merci ! J'ai testé 3 autres tuto sans succès... celui-ci fonctionne parfaitement ! Encore merci à toi ! Good job !👍

Thanks Will, it gave a good impression to me!

thanks for this easy to follow step-by-step guide for beginners.

This is the best! thank you!

very good Tutorial thanks mate

Hi Will, thanks for the video. I recently got a DS220+ and I've been looking to setup a website on it. I got a bit lost in your video because it appears that a past attempt of mine to setup a website is just coming up non-stop and I don't see the option to point back to the new folders I created following your video. Also, my WP is version 5.7 (on the NAS) and the one downloaded in the video is 5.9. Unsure if that may be causing the problem. Thanks for any guidance on this.

Thanks You! this is so easy!

I normally don't comment on videoes. But this video saved my relationship with my boyfriend. I used a couple of Sundays to try out on my own. I bow for an amazing guide. The only thing missing is that its asking for FTP when updating plugins. Guess its a minor thing.

Good video. It helps me get my WordPress site installed. However, I wonder how i can find my FTP connection information since i am hosting the site on-prem? Is there a way to let WordPress use a self-hosted FTP site?

Hello to all.is there a way to use synology as a staging console to more than one wp sites?(not hosting)thanks in advance

Appreciate the video! Is this able to handle plugins such as Elementor? Or is it recommended to use the WP editor, or HTML for building out the website?

Ok DDNS question. I just registered my domain name. I follow your tutorial for setting up a DDNS record but I already have a record for my NAS, which I think was part of setting up synology quick connect. So I can't use synology. It won't let me! Do I have to buy/ set up ddns with some other company? Quite confused 😕

Great tutorial! I don't want my site to be publicly accessed (even by me). I only want to reach it locally. With this setup I "have to" open ports in my router/firewall?. what do I change to only reach it locally?

First this was a very helpful guide and very inforitive. The only issue im running into is that it doesnt do Json files i need it to do and it took me a couple of days to figure it wouldnt. i went to install one themes i built and it wouldnt even do the pre installed themes. :/. also PHP 8.0 is missing a bunch of the extentions you had listed, but alot of the information was good such as setting up a ddns DDNS server and pointing my website to it. :) thank you sir. If possible can you do an update for the Json files or PHP 8.0

SpaceRex....Thansk for the rundown....great video albeit alightly outdated for the newest version. I made it to 17:53 in the video where you are trying to acquire a certificate but cannot the site is not open to the public. Therein lies my quesiton...following everything you did in the video, how do I go back and open the site tot he public so that I may acquire a certificate? This seems like a simple concept, but I could not figure out how. Thanks in advance for the answer.

where do you get that form at the end where you plug in the data base etc and you install from web folder, joe

First off thank you so much for this video i was able to get a Wordpress site up and running under my own domain name. I do have a question what is the best way to update Wordpress, plug-ins, themes etc?

Is is possible to interact (write) file on the nas drive with the website ?

Made it to minute 15:37 How did anyone figured out how to open wordpress. I've read the installation guide and eveyry way I i can not lunch the page.

I initially installed WordPress through the Synology in the beginning and edited my WordPress site and did all that. I was having issues publishing the site and making it public. i have upgraded my DSM to 7.0 now but am wondering if I can backup my entire website somehow and save the directory files and reinstall Wordpress and its programs the exact same way you did. Would this be possible to do???

Do you know what time in your video you activated your FTP server? I want to install a theme but I need the FTP username and password. Did you enable that in this video? I can't find it anymore.

Thank you, can't even explain how much your videos have helped me over time. When I get to 15:35 and type my domain into browser, Wordpress setup does not appear. Do I need to wait for propagation? Is this a symptom of a specific fix? Felt like I followed so closely to arrive at this dead end. Thanks

I was with you until I got to the web station instructions, which no longer match the video. Seems it’s been updated to version 4.2.2. Are there instructions for this newer version, please! I’m anxious to get my Wordpress setup.

I lost you at Web Station, because on my device it just doesn't seem possible to create a Virtual Host. I am wondering if my instalment of WP will conflict with this approach, but since I am not able to delete I was willing to try out your way. Pity, it seems to stop half way through

Im stuck at the part where you setup a virtual host in Web Station. Im on DSM 7.2 and I only have two options - create a "web service portal" or an "alternative portal of default server" - based on the Synology documentation it looks like Virtual host option is removed in 7.2. Any suggestions on how to setup on 7.2 are highly welcome. thanks!

@@SpaceRexWill Hi Will, thanks for coming back to me. Unfortunately MS-Edge keeps using https, therefore not finding my site, as no certificate is available (yet)

Thanks a lot for this wonderful video instruction. In my case I was working with slightly newer DSM so I do not have "Web Service portal" but "Web Service" and "web Portal" so I have to somehow combine and deduce how to setup according your instructions, anyway I have finished it successfully. What is annoying me at the moment is that the Wordpress asks for "Connection Information" in every case I need to install something within Wordpress. Perhaps the reason is in some permissions. In fact within "DSM 7.2.1-69057 Update 3" when I have installed Wordpress from as a Synology package it had put it under "web_packages" subdirectory. When working with this proprietary Synology Wordpress, all installations within are working fine. However after I have followed your instructions I have put downloaded wordpress under subdir "web". As I have stated earlier, it works fine, however, this wordpress installation (within web subdir) is not able to install themes, plugins etc etc Have you any help/hint how to solve it?

Perhaps you could do a video on setting up a knowledge base on synology? Preferably a user-friendly one. NASes are often used in small business it could be potentially interesting to many, since as the business develops, having a commonly accessible structured body of knowledge becomes a necessity. They could be off use to a household as well. Some sort of wiki? I know there's various wiki options, but if you have experience with several you could perhaps point out the best one. For me, though I'm relatively tech-savvy, I for since reason don't deal well with wiki, and would prefer something more wysywig.

Could you make a video of using shortcut folders like Windows?
