# WordPress Installation

To install and start using Kalium, you need to have a working version of WordPress already set up on your site. If you haven’t installed WordPress yet or need help with the process, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Below are some valuable resources that provide detailed instructions and support for installing and setting up WordPress:

* [WordPress Codex](https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/before-install/howto-install/) – General info about WordPress and how to install it on your server.
* [First Steps With WordPress](https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/first-steps-with-wordpress-block-editor/) – General info about multiple topics about WordPress.
* [How to Use WordPress](https://firstsiteguide.com/learn-wordpress/)  – Easy to follow step-by-step guides on how to use WordPress.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you’re using **WordPress.com**, you’ll need the [Business plan](https://automattic.pxf.io/Y9moJq) to use Kalium. The Free, Personal, and Premium plans don’t support custom themes or plugins.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.kaliumtheme.com/getting-started/introduction/before-getting-started/wordpress-installation.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
