I've looked for a WordPress tutorial that is easy to follow, groups the material covered into digestible chunks, moves at a pace that gets right to the subjects, and speaks to me without making me feel inferior or a sales customer. You are definitely a good teacher. Glad I found you. Thanks
So glad it was helpful for you Gary! That was our aim.
Great info, just what I needed, If it's too fast for your followers just pause and go back and don't forget to take notes.
Wow ! this is an amazing tutorial. I smiled all through the duration of the video because it's exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you so much!
Whenever you have to..& choose to..rewatch..that means your a good teacher..& that's a valuable attribute🤪😶🎟️📘💙
Man, am I glad I found this. I have watched a bunch of tutorials and "hain't" learned nuthin. You use my version of the KISS principle that is Keep It Simple Smarty! Thank you a whole bunch.
Very clear instruction! Thank you so much. I love your pace and your voice is very clear and understandable. Thanks!!
Nice short and to the point. Easy to follow!
Love your style of teaching and expressing yourself...especially for people like me who might bit be extremely computer literate but are trying to manage a website!
You've got this Cheryl! Happy to help.
I ditto that, Cheryl
I really love that you gave more than I expected. Great control of the material and I look forward to more of tutorials by you.
Thanks for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it and very happy it helped!
Fantastic job on this. I appreciated among other things how the narrator maintained discipline and focus on his objective, to get editing some content. There was a certain level of anticipation involved, in a tantalizing way. I got a satisfying datum about clicking off the box to continue editing, the narration was awesome.
I find I need to pull apart some content of different types in the same block. Some mess a beginner can stumble into, ja ja.
I will watch your video in any case.
Short and direct to point. Thumbs up👍
Love the videos Josh does. Need to get Josh back to makeing videos on making a website, he is very good at it. He has not made any new ones. Thank you Josh Great videos.

Happy I could help!
YOU ARE GOATED JOSH!!! 🗣
Thank you 🙏🤖🙏
Very nice.
Thanks, I didn't even know Word Press had a page builder. Question: If I've already built a page with another page builder (or two) can i switch to Word Press builder easily. Always pressed for time!
I liked it, I would definitely recommend that you consider accessibility in all tutorials, almost all of your content there was perfectly accessible because you kept it to black and white and the text would all work with a screen reader, and the fonts weren't confusing but the images had no alt text, (alternative text) anyone using a screen reader or with visibility impairment would get "Image" read allowed for both pictures. For viewers to get the most people accessing their sites as possible and to make it accessible to all you could advise viewers to add a quick description as you did with the captions or advise captions can be used instead of alt text if they are descriptive as yours were, but site impaired uses would still experience the word "image" so you could say description in caption. I think accessibility should not be on a separate video or an after thought but it should be a consideration for all digital platforms and apps. WACAG 2.2 is coming!
nice, clear instructions. speed of speech is a bit quick, but better than drawing things out!
Sometimes I adjust speed on tutorials, slow them down
Thanks
Question: when I try to edit a page there is not a publish icon. Only update. Do you have to update it twice to be published?
How do you change the font, the font size etc? Or do you have to have that already written and then copy/paste?
That is going to depend on your theme and the options it provides for you. For us, we had to use the Google Fonts Plugin to customize our font size. Alternatively, you can change font size manually with CSS.
Hi I have a question, When I try to change text or image on one block all the other blocks do the same thing. How do I separate them from each other?
Thanks
Can you tell me - I started building my website with Elementor. Can I also use wordpress features additionally to build it also, or do I need to stick to Elementor only? thanks
To our knowledge Elementor works with WordPress' built in features and you can choose which page to use Elementor with and which pages to use WordPress' tools with. The next time you contact our support ask about our WP Live service which can put you into contact with WordPress experts who can answer and show you the ins and outs of WordPress and its plugins.

OMG. I did a great About page following your clear instruictions, then I changed themes and now I have 1 of the 2 column pics at the top of the page too. I thought I would be able to find and delete this in Featured Images on the right menu, but it is not there; it is empty! Making me crazy. Please help.
When you change the theme, WordPress applies the added custom information as best as it can, but formatting is often an issue. Have you contacted your new theme's creators? They often have the exact solution that you're looking for.
Hi - my page isn't going live - it not publishing. It just says update and no sign of the title on the drop down menu where all my other pages are - hope you can advise. thank you
very nice information bro
You're welcome!
I am having troubles editing the new page that I created. It constantly throws me back to the main page. And in the sidebar menu of Site Editor I don't have the option Pages, so I can't move between pages. What can i do?
this might seem like a really stupid question but why is your about section bigger than mine, I have been trying to figure that one out for a while now and I have no idea. I've tried finding the the text options but it isn't where I want it to be, can you give me any advice?
When I want to edit the page I get a page full of code, how can you switch back to the normal page view in edit mode, with the images and normal text ?
Hmm, depending on the page full of code you're seeing, there's a couple of answers to that. If you're working in the blocks, you should be able to toggle each individual block back and forth as long as there isn't an abundance of custom HTML in the block.
If you're an HG customer, give us a call at (866) 964-2867 so we can get you pointed in the right direction.
Hi, I my developer is away and I need to remove a subscribe box from the footer of my pages. I can edit the pages - but then I am not sure exactly what to do when I am on the section I need to delete - and I don't want to mess it up as my developer is away. Can you help?
Nice
Hello. I really need your help in figuring out how to change the prices in Wordpress. Can anyone please give me an idea on where to find that option?
Hi PeachesOctoberTVDionne, are you asking how to change the prices on your website or ecommerce/store? Start by checking the theme or the ecommerce plugin settings to modify would be a good place start.
Hey sir, I need your help which is i want to have a quick edit from the page by clicking the 'edit the Page' just like yours, but I couldn't find the entrace? May I ask your help? So much appreciate it!
Hi! Rewind this video to mark 00:57 which shows and explains differences between 'pages' and 'post.' Make sure inside WordPress Dashboard you are in the right section on the left > 'Pages', list of pages should appears. Next, click to edit a page. Contact Live Support chat/telephone/Skype for free anytime for help!
Hello Josh! I have an issue I create a page, added it to the menu, I published it but still not visible. can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Hi there, check and make sure you didn't accidently hide the page. Check the settings of the page and re-save and don't forget to re-publish. If your still stuck feel free to contact Live Support anytime Chat/Telephone/Skype for free.
every time I add a page on Wordpress, all the pages change to that exact page I've just created, how do I stop this???
I'll made my page but headers and footers are gone from the newly edited page
Why this 'About' section is not visible in the header? How to make it visible?
How do I add a theme to a new page?
There is no control of positing text freely over an image (other than those presets)? Wordpress is not super easy to edit as some say....
Hi there! Depending on theme and plugins you select, the features within may and can vary. There are third-party app options you can search for which may be useful under the 'Appearance' and 'Plugin' section of your WordPress Dashboard. Image customization can also be done prior to add and uploading the image on your page.
Hey Josh sir need your help with some issue with WordPress dashboard can you guide me to solve the problem

Yo mate just refound host gator after 10 years
We were wondering where you got off to.
Wait where did you explain how to edit?! Ugh
Hi Julie! This video tutorial contains "update" software/scripts, such as Wordpress itself, theme, and plugins for security and stability. Just like your mobile phone or computer, it has updates from time to time, websites do too. Want to know how to 'update' as in edit, view "How To Edit Pages" will get you started.: czcams.com/video/DeKPN3ibL7E/video.html

@@hostgatorUS thank you. I’m new to this and my boss needed something done. I did indeed figure it out. Lol.
why is this so fuzzy?
I know how to type into a word box show me how to link buttons to landing pages ffs
Dude this is not rap competition speak slowly x.25.
your speed is abnormal.
He's fast but you can change the playback speed on CZcams and if you don't slow it too much it still sounds normal, but slower.
is it just me or the video is too fast
dude you are way too fast! Obviously it's edited to appear faster but I had pause and rewind so many times my mouse hand is cramping up.
Sorry about that! We are trying to get you as much helpful information as we can in one short vid. Hopefully it was helpful, even with all the scrolling 😁
Nothing you taught worked in the slightest. All I get when I click Edit are pages of computer gibberish.
Does it matter that I created the pages in 2015 and haven't touched them since? I cannot edit my pages, no matter what I do.
Hi Shawn, so there are two different ways to install a theme but features available to you may vary if theme is not up to date/outdated, or not updated by the creator of theme. First, check the theme itself, make sure it is up to date. Inside WordPress Dashboard/Admin > left-side navigation menu > select 'Appearance' > click 'Thames'. It will display all themes you have installed already. Update the theme you are currently using. Next, see if you can then edit pages. Also, the theme you select will have its own features within the theme settings to edit/modify pages, etc. Contact Live Support via chat, telephone or Skype for free if you need more help anytime!
Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it. Six hours wasted really irked me once I tried a different browser through a VPN and accomplished it in two minutes.
It's my ISP, it just took a while to figure out.
I was a Network Administrator of a large corporation for a few years back in the day so I have mad skills. I kicked myself pretty good when I finally figured it out, lol, diagnostics used to be my first step. Thanks!
Good stuff kept you talked way too fast for me to follow.
Can you talk little FASTER please.
Thanks for the feedback. On any platform you use CZcams, you can tap the options on the video to speedup/slowdown the video to your preference.
