Create onion service using WordPress

An onion service is a unique kind of service that can only be accessed through specially designed software programs built to provide privacy and anonymity for users. The most typical examples of these services are websites hosted on .onion domains. These specific domains are crafted for anonymity and are only accessible through the Tor Browser, which is a specialized internet browser developed to engage with these distinctive domains.

WordPress is a web content management system for managing web content, initially designed as a platform for publishing blogs. It has since evolved into a versatile tool that supports a wide range of web content, making it a favorite among web developers and businesses. WordPress now supports the creation of standard websites, with a user-friendly interface and customization options that allow even those with little coding knowledge to create professional websites.
