Hello Ryan, hello everyone, I've just discovered ProcessWire and I'm delighted. :-) As a beginner with this CMS, I'd like to share one or two little thoughts that are important when discovering and evaluating this tool. 1/ I installed Softaculous for the first time, and the installer doesn't offer to integrate a site profile as with the latest version, which I downloaded and installed manually. It was by studying the documentation that I learned about the existence of profiles (and many other things) and the installation procedure and, if I hadn't spent time reading the tutorials, I'd never have understood the concept of profiles and templates which, incidentally, I still don't fully understand, but I'm working on it ;) All this to say that the beginner who installs with Softaculous has every chance of getting lost if he doesn't have the patience and motivation to read the docs first, which we never do when we test unknown CMSes in general. :-D By installing ProcessWire manually via FTP, it's already much better. Which brings me to point 2/ In the presentation of this CMS, it's repeated very often (too often) that it's simple, easy, within everyone's reach and, while it's true that someone with a bit of experience can manage it because the documentation and help systems are very well done, the lambda user who's used to CMS but isn't a developer will fear his own limitations. I myself am impressed by the quality and possibilities offered, but I feel very small when I read the various topics on these forums. How far would I go?) Having said that, I think this is a wonderful product and thank you all warmly for having invented it and maintaining it for everyone's happiness. :)

I'm new to ProcessWire, but based on what I've read so far I can see PW becoming the CMS I use for all future sites. It would be handy to be able to use Softaculous to install PW, but this results in the "Minimal Site Profile" being installed and there is no option to choose the blank profile. I also have a second installation in another hosting account that I selected the "Beginner" profile for during install (to learn the ropes) and now I would like to change to the "blank" profile to start proper development. So my question is: is it possible to clean out an existing PW installation to go back to the equivalent of what you get when you install PW with the "blank" profile? Or do you have remove everything and do a new install from scratch?

Hi All, just noticed Softaculous now has a 1-click installer for Processwire: https://www.softaculous.com/apps/cms/ProcessWire Hoping to discuss a few points, maybe write up a tutorial, if I get something up and running as far as demo sites. Site Profiles: can I easily toss in a site profile after the softaculous installer installs whatever is the default site? Big thank you's to whoever got this over there to them, my web host is Asmallorange, so will let you know how the installer works there, once I've had a chance to run it.
