WordPress How to Make a Website with WordPress Installing WordPress The Famous 5-Minute WordPress Install

when I logged on to my browser with wp-admin it took me straight away to my dashboard. Is that ok?

I did register with WP earlier today but anyway I did not have to type in my domain and all of that stuff.

I am not sure if this is ok.

Honestly I think this is very tedious.

Hi, when you visit your site and login at yoursite.com/wp-admin it should log you in to the dashboard. That is correct.

You may have checked the 'remember me' box on the login form when you first entered your admin details. If you are not comfortable with this you will need to clear out the history within the chosen browser settings. But this is certainly normal behaviour and there are no issues.

This happened to me also because I had already installed WP in the "1 click install option" within the CPanel. In this video he is showing us the other option of installing it manually through the "5 min install option".
