 * I want to use WordPress as CMS and add new funtionalities around it for my site.
 * What I am doing :- Add new index.php, new plugins and modify some wp-XXX.php 
   page code in my personal system and then install the new stuff with the wordpress
   default stuff with a hosting provider.
 * My question:- After adding code, should I have to use index-install.php again
   for installing in the hosting provider?
 * Many Thanks.

 * Installing the hosting provider? What do you mean by that?

 * The installation script only adds stuff to the database. You can make as many
   changes as you like to the PHP files without needing to run the installation 
   script again. The only thing you’ve got to watch out for is that if you change
   the structure of the database (i.e. adding more values to any `ENUM` column, 
   or changing a column type) upgrading wordpress will most likely undo those changes.
 * But if you have no idea what I’m talking about, you probably won’t need to worry
   🙂
