    What’s the difference between installing wordpress and uploading it to your web host and using the 1 click WP installation feature that most web hosts have these days?

    Do you still need to edit the wp-config.php file if you use the 1 click WP installation?

      The one click auto install creates a database and connects it using the wp-config.php file automatically rather than having to edit the file with the new db details you get when you create the db manually
