2021 is very different now wordpress is updated now how should we update and edit pages
Most creative tutorial I have come across so far…
You are by far the best YouTube tutor. this make a wordpress website video really helped me.. you got 10 out of 10
I wanted you to know; you fast or I'm dumb……."I'm dumb." Thx !!
Awesome
Hello. As I follow along, I don't have the option for "add new" under themes.
Thank you for taking your time to put this content up on your channel. One question for you.
Aside from reducing the pixels of your photos and not having video content on your website, how do you speed up the load time using Elementor? I have only built a couple websites using Elementor and it seems that I always get a low grade when testing it on GTMetrix.
Thanks!
We'll learn to this and that and 100 other things I wish you would have started with the basics instead of all this optional wish list
I've been watching the tutorial and am stuck on "themes." I'm trying to re-create my website with WordPress so it will be viewable on desktop, tablet and phone. I have a different hosting site from the one you recommend, so the appearance is quite different. I would gladly pay for one-on-one support.
Came for the thumbnail. Who cares 'bout the WordPress!
I need some help. Love the video, it's taking me a little longer but I'm half way through! My Elementor Icon when added does not a have title or space for description. The panel shows (Icon – View – Link – Alignment ) only nothing else. When I go to style if shows Icon (Normal/Hover – Primary Color – Size – Rotate). I'm at a loss. I'm going to proceed to the next section until you respond or I figure it out just not have that feature if the rest of the site will work. My video no longer plays not sure what I did to cause that, I keep not sure what the settings were when it was open. Thank you in advance.
Ok
Okay, it has been over 3 hours and O never got the email from gator host. I think I did something wrong.
Great video, especially for a person new to WordPress….
Question: I changed the URLs via Permalinks to POST, as you mentioned to do. But, now I get "404 Not Found" on the Home page. Not sure how to fix this. At first it was 404 on all the pages, but I deactivated a plugin called "W3 Total Cache", and now just the Home page has the 404.
Also. The pages load extremely slowly when I am using both WordPress and Elementor. I have a very fast computer (quad i7s, 16 GB Ram, SSD, etc. and I have a very fast FIOS internet connection so I don't know why it is painfully slow. Everything else on my computer is normal. Thanks in advance for your help. Great video.
Gave you a Sub and I look forward to future videos..

Good Morning Yoda, do you have a direct email that we can use to ask you questions? If so, I would like to ask you questions directly instead of a public forum. I would like to offer monthly "tips" if that works for you.
How do I know which prugins I need for my website?
