Thank You Wes McDowell, You Saved My Day, I Always Saw Your Channel, But I Never Clicked On It, But Today... Yes, YOU ARE STAR.
Thanks for the info! I was trying to build from scratch, and this helped move me forward!
This is the best video I have watched about WordPress for Beginners. I going to grab your offer and WordPress, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi Wes, this is great, thanks. However, I then edited my blog article with Elementor and all the stuff I set up as shown in your video, disappeared. It turned into a page instead of a blog page. Any advise on that please?
Thanks mate
Although I like how this is specific to a blog, I'd like more of a homepage look versus page after page of blocks. I've tried to add an element or some kind of text underneath the header with a picture and info about my organization. In my posts, I"m having issues adjusting the pictures to be smaller or different shapes. I have used Wix but seem to be struggling with Wordpress. I've tried videos and other templates but not having great luck with those either. Any suggestions? Am I using the wrong template or do I not know how to do something? Looks like there might be an upgraded version of Blocksey.
I have plenty of other tutorials about making regular websites!
Just discovered you and wondered if you had any WordPress videos about how to install and customize a theme you bought on Etsy. I believe I've installed it, but I'm having trouble customizing it and wondered if there was a video about this.
Brother, please help me out here. Can you recommend a free theme for a music artist website with album releases and countdown support?
Thank you a lot ❤
Absolutely! So glad you found it helpful!
YOU WON'T BELIEVE how long I spent scrolling through CZcams and Udemy trying to learn everything that was in this video, Wes, great job! I do have one question though, bit advanced but I want to have blogs and newsletters, but newsletters you have to subscribe for (I want them to be private) So. if I was to have a newsletter button on the top banner (with about us etc) how do I make it private with an email sub button to continue. I want my newsletters to be premium. access only through subscribing, and how would the site know without always making them login, I don't really want a login option. just email subs passed onto many chat. (for my business etc)
Are you able to add a store?
Hi Wes, is Blocksy pricy? If so, maybe I need to get one of the free themes. I appreciate your answer. Thank you.
Nope it’s free
I don't have any of these options to edit.
❤🎉
WTF. i paid $600 for this😥😥😥. And here your giving full course for free in details.
Not at all! This is just the last part of the program where I teach how to bring it al to life... BUt the launchpad actually shows you all the content you need for a profitable website. Rest assured, THIS is not on the same level as the launchpad course.
How do I access it?@@WesMcDowellInc
Wait, you didnt buy it? lol Im confused. If you bought it, you'd have received an email with your logins after purchase.
@@WesMcDowellIncok sir. I'll definitely check it
