  1. Hostinger is a scam. Their website no longer looks anything like this tutorial. They want you to use their wordpress-like drag and click software, rather than wordpress itself. The reason I say this is (like I mentioned) they've almost completely changed the way their site looks. Stay away. Codecamp update your video and stop advertising Hostinger for the love of god

    Also, I noticed there's a whooooole lot of web dev creators advertising hostinger. Seems like a massive advertising campaign

  2. Then we will change the the columns. DEAD SILENCE for straight up 2 minutes. Beau figuring. LOL anyways I appreciate the course I always will support the free code camp as it helps us to learn more easily GO ON free code camp.

  3. is there a way to customize the css associated with the demo template without using elementor/using a different plug-in? you have to have the pro version in order to customize it :/

  4. all these videos for how to use wordpress, yours included, are absolute garbage. Not updated. WordPress looks nothing like this anymore. I dont have any links for "permapress" for example. You never specify if you got the free version or premium version of wordpress. Absolute garbage.

  5. Wow, this tutorial is an absolute gem for aspiring web developers and DIY enthusiasts! Beau Carnes's clear communication skills, combined with his excellent sense of humor, make the entire video a delightful experience from start to finish.

    The captivating visuals and high production value further enhance the learning journey. It's evident that a lot of effort went into creating this complete and detailed tutorial for WordPress beginners.

    I truly appreciate the valuable insights and knowledge shared here. Kudos to the beau and freecodecamp for their excellent teaching approach and for contributing such helpful content to the community.

    Thanks again for making such an incredible video!

  6. I can't begin to tell you how valuable this video is for novice Web developers (do it yourselfers). Due to the length I'm sure a lot was put into making it. Very much appreciated!

  7. Watched about a third of the video. It was very good. It got me started and then I was able to fumble around until got a decent looking site together.

  8. question! I want to upload like purchased themes of wordpress but it wont allow me to upload it unless I upgrade to business account, I find business acc expensive. Is there another way to get premium themes/upload without going to business account? help please! thanks
