Another (dumb) question – I want one page to be job postings – I have one to post that someone sent me, but they sent a 4 page PDF of the job posting (generated by their company).
Is there a way to post a PDF doc using Elementor?
Thx.
Rewatching this video a few months later since I decided to rework my website using elementor and the starter templates builder. I had a basic website before with nothing special going on. I was okay with it being completely deleted and rewrote. I have selected a new theme with elementor and the starter template plug in, but when I try and edit each page with elementor the entire page disappears. All it says is 'Home' for example and allows me to add blocks. The entire premade theme page is gone. it still appears when I pull up the website however. Any ideas why this might be? It did import my data from my previous website so maybe it is clashing for some reason? Thank you!
Howdy, which plugin do you recommend to know about the number of visitors ? There are so many out there, I don't know which to choose.
Thanks for your help.
That was super helpful, simple and easy to follow. I watched it to revise and update myself. Some years back I watched one of your similar videos to start using wordpress.
Thank you for a to the point practical tutorial.
I've purchased HostGator hosting, and installed WordPress and built the website following all the steps in your tutorial…
Thanks for this helpful tutorial. I've built the website. However, the HOME page shows 'This page doesn't seem to exist.' When I click on the menu 'HOME', the proper home page appears. Could you please reply me how to remove the error page urgently? Thanks a lot!
Thank you very much sir for this tutorial you really saved me a lot of money I am really grateful.
Please sir I need your help about the starter template pls I really need your help. I already installed my starter template but when it loads it shows me a blank screen which seems to be the problem
Hey Tyler, for following your tutorial, do I need elementor PRO or am i good with the free version ?
Thanks
Hello, I'm in the beginning where I want to create website but it there's no icon there and the support chat is telling me "t will not be there in WordPress you have to start designing with the help of theme and plugins" but I just deleted all the plug ins per your instructions.
Hello Tyler! Thank you so much for your incredible tutorials! They enabled me to build my sleek-looking website in just two days! 😄
I have a few questions that I was hoping you could help me with:
1. Multilingual Website: How can I create a website that supports multiple languages? For example, many websites allow visitors to select their preferred language, and then the website displays the corresponding version. Usually, the domain name follows a structure /en/ for the English version, and /fr/ for the French version, etc.
2. Language Selection based on IP: Related to the first question, how can a website display the default language version according to the IP address of the visitor?
3. Dynamic Content Updates: How can I dynamically update the website with new content daily without needing to manually change the structure of the website every day? For instance, if I have an "Industry News" page on my site and I plan to write new content every day, is there a way to edit my content somewhere, and a new box can appear on the page every day, with older content listed below the new content?
Thank you again for all your excellent work! Your tutorials have been extremely helpful, and I am eager to continue learning from your expertise!
Excellent tutorial. Very easy to follow.
Something about you makes me want to eat 10 hot wings while being interviewed.
Hello! at 30:30 it is almost like the header goes away and is inaccessible to make changes too. Is there a section that shows how to alter the header / menu ?
Wow, I can already tell, your tutorial on WordPress development is the one I will be following. I do have a question though. In my situation, I will be converting an existing ancient web site to WordPress. I already have my web hosting sorted out, and the old site is already up and running. I want to redesign/upgrade the old site using WordPress. I’m okay having to start from scratch and follow your tutorial recommendations and steps, but my concern is how to I test out the WordPress version without harming the existing ancient version. Will WordPress overwrite my index.html file and now my customers won’t see my existing website? I don’t want that to happen until I’m pleased with everything I recreate in WordPress.
Good step by step and explanation, thank you
WOW WOW WOW Excellent teaching!! Have you considered doing this professionally? Seriously. This is the first one of your videos that I've followed and I'll definitely look at the others. It's unbelievable how difficult it is to find this quality of teaching. Thank you so much 😊😊😊
I LOVE IT!!!!! i love it!! i should have watched ur tutorial before trying to build my website. i had successfully wasted few months trying to build my website, haha. now i can rebuild my website. Thankyou so much, God bless u…. but maybe can you teach me how to do a travel agency website?with the booking plug-in please
Hi. Thank you so much for this. I have gotten everything pretty much so far except I can not get the contact page to work. I have rewatched that part of the video many times and when I test it, my business email does not receive the test email. Any suggestions? Also is there a way to add a calendar that shows when you have opening?
Thank you, your guiding is very awesome.
I;ve done all the beginning steps and I'm getting an error message for my new website. I've waited all day with no change. How do I contact someone to help me?
Please never stop making videos!!! This is an amazing tutorial— so detailed but not overwhelming. I feel like building a website is within my reach (and I am NOT tech-savvy at all). Thank you so much for the time you put into making this!
Hi Tyler, why does WordPress say I must upgrade to Business Plan to install Plugins or Themes? Or did I miss a step somewhere in the process?
Great! Thanks.
Thank you so much Tyler
Another long time follower. I used your tutorial and built my website using builder beaver etc back in 2015 and it was one of the best things I had ever done for my business. I am now looking to revamp the website and follow this tutorial. Do you have any tips on converting my current mature website to one in this video. e.g. building a temporary under construction landing page.
Hi Tyler, thank you for the great tutorial!!! I would like to use another font which is not available in the theme (from starters template). How can I import another font? Thanks a lot!
Thanks!
Thank you
A lot of value and knowledge on this video, totally recommended.
Hey Tyler I’m having an issue, I’m following your steps and when I clicked on install Word and waiting the 20minutes to go on a walk when I come back and click on it instead of it saying “URL can’t be found” it’s saying website unsafe and could be hacked by hacker, then it has a buttons that says go to website anyways, what should I do?? Thanks! Your videos are great looking forward to your response so I can continue
Excellent tutorial, easy to follow, anyone could make a brochure website from this tutorial
