Select your plan, create your site
Once you’ve created a Flywheel hosting account or logged in to an existing account, select your plan, create your site and we’ll take it from there! Your site will be spun up, optimized for Divi and we’ll automatically install Divi in your WordPress admin account based on the credentials we received from Elegant themes.

Login to the WordPress admin
After your site is successfully set up, you can simply login to the WordPress admin. You’ll find the Divi theme on the left sidebar. We’ll auto-populate your user name and API key so it’s stored for future updates.
