  1. Yii is a PHP framework, it is not a complete solution or ready CMS.
    Yii (on installing) generates basic startup folders and files to get started with a new project.

    To learn how to use yiic to generate basic application stucture you can watch these videos:

    You should install and develop your Yii application on your localhost (Local webserver) and then upload it to your public webserver. This way is recommended.

    WordPress is a complete CMS – ready to use.

    WP root is the folder where wordpress is installed. If you installed your wordpress website to your webhosting’s public_html/htdocs/www folder then this folder is the root folder of your WordPress powered website, if you installed wordpress for example in website.com/blog folder then the ‘blog’ folder is the WP root.

    WP root is the folder where you can see in it wp-admin, wp-content, wp-includes, wp-config, index.php folders and files.
