Hi Wes. I don't actually have the money to pay anyone to do anything at this moment. I also don't have the skills to anything on my own. But with your help, and the video above, I feel like I'm actually accomplishing something. I'm still terrible at it, to be honest. Mostly because in addition to not knowing WP, I also don't have an eye for color schemes or size/font/padding/spacing/layout like you do. But your talent with design combined with your talent of knowing how to teach the big picture and ALSO the details, is helping me more than any other thing I've read or watched. Thank you so much!!! After I finish this website and get some money coming in, I plan to buy something from you, to help me more, and to repay you for this helpful video. Thank you again.
Thank you for this response - I appreciate it so much! 👏🙌 😊
Helpful.Thanks!!
No worries! Thanks for watching! :)

I'm having trouble how to find the free theme and when you mentioned "See Library", -boom!. I liked and subscribe to your channel. Thanks so much!
Awesome, thank for the sub! 😊
Hi! I am using the free version of Elementor and the Astra Mountain theme by Starter Templates and I can't figure out how to edit the Subscribe box at the bottom of the page. It doesn't seem to be part of the footer and it's on every page of the website. When I attempt to click it when I'm customizing, a gray cancel symbol pops up next to the mouse. Do I need to upgrade to Pro to be able to edit this? Your help is appreciated, thank you.
Nice job
thx!
Hello, you do a great job on your videos I have learned a lot. How does building your site with a template as you have in this video for a site that is using printify print on demand site?
Unfortunately, the card for the video with the "Transparent Header" never popped up. Any way you could post the link? Also is there a way to turn this header/footer off and build one threw elementor? Thank you for your time.
Hi do you have a link to the edit transparent header in the astra builder above? Thanks
Hi Wes. If you could provide the link to the transparent header tutorial video, that would be great because the card to that video which you mentioned, doesn't appear.
Awesome
Thanks Michael!
when i tried to preview one of the themes, this dialog open instead: No route was found matching the URL and request method.
Pls help what should i do then?
Hey Wes, great job. Having an issue with responsive hamburger for the laptop setting. You show how to check each page in responsive mode, but do you have any videos on the actual hamburger menu in responsive mode for the laptop/tablet mode. Currently it appears that my hamburger menu is not controlling the entire menu but only the one submenu. Any videos on that specifc item would be great. Thanks again, you are doing a great job.
Hey Joel - check out my new Elementor tutorial for more info about making each page responsive (czcams.com/video/8VL8MwaHzJE/video.html) that may help you out!
why am I not seeing the "inner section" in my widget section. Was it removed later on from the interface? thanks.
I was wondering- what information would I lose by updating my Astra theme? Are there many risks (of losing the data)?
When you bring up the Elementor editor at about 10:00, you have an "Inner Sections" widget at the top left of the editor panel. I have a Layout above Basie with a Container widget, instead. What am I doing wrong?
It's correct because Elementor switched to Flex Boxes/Containers. Check it out. This video is 2 years old.
On image upload I don't see that pixabay link. Is that a Wordpress plugin? I installed a plugin but can't upload directly from the wordrpress library
WEW MCDOWELL, I HAVE NOT YET TRIED ASTRA. BUT I WISH TO USE MY OWN TEMPLATE, AND IMAGES, THAT SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM.!!! CORRECT.?
I'm stuck at 4:29. I chose the right option 'best WordPress for beginners, can I change it to limitless customization? I tried deleting my site and creating a new one, but it doesn't give me that option anymore. it's like I'm stuck with the first option.
How can I add side bar to home page as well in addition to blog page , without using Astra pro
Please some one give me answer
I activate astra template and astra plugins but astra site not coming
Wes, how do I work with a transparent header? There wasn't a card in the right hand corner to click on. Thx
Hey Nancy the video you need is here:Adding the Header & Footer to Your New Website!
czcams.com/video/vUC6plBN6iY/video.html cheers!
@@WesMcDowellInc Thanks! These are great tutorials!
Can you do a new video with the updated WordPress version?? Please
Hi, where is the link to a tutorial talks about live chat set up? thanks
Hi Enock - I now recommend checking out the warm welcome app and you can watch that video here: czcams.com/video/Och-D6caQN4/video.html
Do you have a web page for word press help??
Good video OK
Thanks for Watching, Jabarulla! :)
source images?
Is it the free version of Astra? or we have to purchase Pro?
It’s free!
Do provide images whatever u used to design word press it will be helpful for us
Hey Kevin, the point isn't to just copy this site for practice, its to use what you learn to build your own. Cheers!
@@WesMcDowellInc but can u explain me how to use side bar @top like home,about,service,etc so on. Wen i install a themes in word press themes it will not display i.e header section so wat shall i do @that time
When I was watching another video, the narrator also mentioned that Elementor doesn't have the best blog feature & used WordPress' feature instead.
I'm trying to follow along but the process you're showing is totally different look and feel and options not there than what you're showing in the video I don't know how old you're how old your session is but not the same
Where is astra
