  • Password: Use a strong password.
  • Nickname: Nickname for the admin user account.

Note:
 Copy the admin username and password on a notepad because you will need these login details to access the admin area of your PivotX blog.

Choose Language: You can choose the language of your PivotX blog. The default language of PivotX is English.


10. Advanced Options: Leave this as it is unless you want to change the database name or take an automated backup. Please note that taking frequent backups may take a lot of disk space.
