Both wordpress and joomla are written in PHP, so start by installing it and reading the README file the php package installs in /usr/local/share/doc/pkg-readmes/php-8.2 There you'll find carefully described the steps you need to to do run php stuff in the /var/www chroot with OpenBSD' httpd (and also notes for Apache httpd and nginx). Pay particular attention to the "Extension modules" section since wordpress will need a few of them, "Living with chroot" and "Making network connections". Similarly, you'll also need mariadb (for wordpress at least.) Same thing, the package installs a README file with the relevant information. Then, installing wordpress is a matter of fetching the latest sources, unzip them somewhere under /var/www/ and run the installer. It will probably complain about a few missing php modules (stuff like php-gd or maybe php-zip). Install them, restart php-fpm, rinse and repeat until it's happy :)
