This automates the entire process of setting up a fresh WordPress installation upon account creation, when certain packages are selected.
This was created for web hosting providers that want be able to offer ordering of WordPress Hosting packages, so a customer has a seamless instant setup of not only their account but their entire base WordPress installation done for them.
Link to full article & setup (quite easy!)
The script, but please read the full article for explanation & prerequisites. This shouldn't take you more than maybe 5 minutes to setup.
