fire and amazing
Thank you!
Great tutorial!
Thanks!
Lol both of these channels are owned by the same person and both of them are shit! 🤮
Nice
Thank you!
Great presentation and easy to follow. My only request is that you go into more detail for the different sections. For example, when you change a photo, actually put the new photo in, or add a favicon explain more about the file format and actually install one on the site. Do you have more detailed videos for each section?
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback. My new tutorials shortly after this I start going into more details. I don't go into as much detail as the favicon and file format or changing spacing and stuff but will be doing that soon. Videos are sometimes over 40 minutes long. I am going to be doing over an hour of the complete process this upcoming year.
I am trying to follow along and you indicate to type in Astra and then pick another theme once astra comes up. then you install the starter plugin. Is it necessary to pick ASTRA and starter plugin or can you pick any of the themes and starter plugin?
Greetings! Starter templates was built to be used with the Astra theme for all the functions to work correctly. The editing part in the video is all done via Elementor page builder, so you could choose any theme you want if you don't want the Astra theme and use Elementor to build your site.
Thank you for the detailed video, one question, I have a Cooking Recipe on hostgator and build up with JavaScript CSS etc coding, and I have about 1500 cooking recipes with CZcams embedded videos, how I can transfer all my videos, written recipes and all hyperlinks ?
Thanks in advance
You're welcome! To transfer your files and the database here are the steps below. Start by backing up your website files and the database. Plugins like UpdraftPlus or manually backing up your files and database are popular methods. Next export the database. To do this, login to WordPress. Go to Tools and Export. Choose All Content and download the XML file. This file contains your posts, pages, comments, custom fields, terms, navigation menus, and custom posts. Next, copy your website files. Connect to your current hosting server using FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or use cPanel's File Manager. Download all the files from your current WordPress installation to your local computer. Next, set up a new database on the new hosting and note down the database name, username, and password. Next, you’ll import the database. In your new hosting environment, use phpMyAdmin or a similar tool to create a new database. Import the previously exported database (from step 2) into the newly created database. Next you’ll upload the website files to the new hosting. Connect to the new hosting server using FTP or use cPanel's File Manager. Upload all the files you downloaded in step 3 to the new hosting directory. Next Update wp-config.php. In your new hosting environment, locate the wp-config.php file in the WordPress root directory. Update the database name, username, password, and host details to match the new hosting configuration. Next, update the site URLs. In the new hosting environment, go to phpMyAdmin and find the wp_options table. Update the siteurl and home options with the new domain. Next, fix any hardcoded URLs in JavaScript and CSS files. Check if there are any absolute URLs hardcoded in your JavaScript or CSS files and update them with the new domain. Next, update your DNS settings. If you are changing your domain, update the DNS settings to point to the new hosting provider. Lastly, test your website. HostGator also has a service where they can migrate or transfer the site for you.
Very helpful!
I have purchased a hosting account and registered my Domain on hostgator. It's been more than 24 hrs but it doesn't work at all. it says, the domain isn't finished setting up.
how can i fix this problem?
Thank you! The domain can take up to 48 hours to fully propogate. More than likely this is the cause. If you go to the whats my dns site it should be able to check your DNS around the globe to see if it's been propogated or where it has so far.
I'm 100% sure I'm wasting my time. Everything is always different on my end! Makes you want to climb up something very high, close my eyes and step forward ❤
Are you using Elementor for the page builder? If not, what theme are you using? Here to help!
Great video, thanks! What would you suggest for a good, fast, and free template for a multi-purpose website? I am a talent booking agent but also want to sell t-shirts on the same site. Will any page suffice that allows woocommerce? TYIA!
Thank you! You're welcome! Any theme would work well with Woocommerce. Some good free woocommerce themes that have great performance are Astra, ShoppingCart, eStore, Botiga, Neve Shop, OceanWP, and Storefront. The Astra theme using Starter templates like the themes shown in this tutorial has great multi-purpose themes that come with Woocommerce enabled and set up to make things easier if you choose an e-commerce theme.
Once I've built the website, how do I get back to the screen at 13:00 to edit the site?
Greetings! To get back to the Elementor page builder to edit your site. From the WordPress dashboard, if you hover over your site title name at the top and click visit site from any page on your site you can click edit with Elementor in the WordPress top bar. You can also from the WordPress dashboard click pages and hover over the page you want to edit. You should see a edit with elementor tab that you can click.
Thank you for this. Been trying to fix my wrdprs site and made a duplicate of it in the wrdprs hostgator staging area (used a different builder on that one), but am not sure how to swap them now. Is this something you can address or do you know of any hostgator links that explain this? Haven't found any.
Greetings! To do this, download the plugin called Migrate Guru in your staging site. It'll ask you a few questions like host you are moving to and the destination URL. Once you input that it'll begin migrating your site and takes just minutes. Your live site will now showcase the site you had on your staging site.
@@wpcupidblog Oh awesome!Thank you! I see a button on the staging side within the hostgator dashboard w/in wordpress that says "deploy". Just haven't found anything on that detailing what happens. I will check out the Migrate Guru though, thanks again!
@mommasoto You’re welcome! The deploy button would also deploy your staging site over to the live site on your HostGator account.
Do I need to buy business plan on Wordpress before doing this so I can add plugins? Or can I just follow this step by step tutorial and be able to install plugins for free?
Greetings! You can download the plugins for WordPress free with any of the Hostgator plans.
Hello, I have the same issue with the administrative URL. The admin wp link ain’t opening. I set it from the first time with http. Could you please help me with this problem? I already payed for business plan and the result was not so good because I am not able to access the WordPress dashboard :(
Greetings! Sorry I missed your comment. It didn't publish it immediately for some reason. If you still need help let me know and I can help with the administrative URL not opening.
@@wpcupidblog Just dropped a comment about this. So it seem like an issue with Hosgator then. I sure do need help with it.
what is the best hosting for ecommerce ?
For e-commerce Hostgator is a great option. Hostinger is also good. If you have a budget of higher priced hosting rocket .net or Kinsta is awesome.
منتظر قسمت های بعد هستیم
متشکرم! به زودی! Thank you! More coming soon!
what is dedicated hosting ?
Greetings! Dedicated hosting is a type of web hosting service where an entire physical server is allocated to a single client or website owner. Unlike shared hosting, where multiple users share server resources, dedicated hosting provides exclusive access to the server's processing power, memory, and storage capacity. This means that the client has full control over the server's configuration and can customize it to meet their specific needs. Dedicated hosting offers higher performance, security, and reliability compared to shared hosting but is typically more expensive due to the dedicated resources provided. It is commonly used by businesses with high-traffic websites, applications, or those requiring strict security and customization options.
After I installed wordpress and trying to visit the administrative url it says "this site can't be reached'' . help.
Greetings! A couple things could be leading to this. If you just purchased Hostgator hosting with a domain name the domain might still be propagating. Another reason could be if your domain is with another domain registrar and it isn't pointed to Hostgator this could cause this showing. Also, if you pointed your domain name from another registrar it could still be propagating. If you chose https instead of http when installing WordPress the free Hostgator SSL Certificate takes some time to generate which could lead to an error showing. Let me know if all of those things have been done correctly and I can dive deeper into this! Always here to help.
When I click the adminstrative url it takes me to godaddy. Why is that?
If your domain is with GoDaddy and you pointed it to Hostgator it can take up to 48 hours for the domain to propagate. Usually takes an hour to a couple most of the time.
I am not getting elementor tab
Greetings! I would try clearing the cache in WordPress and see if it shows. Something to check is to go to the plugins tab in the left-side and click it. See if Elementor has been installed. If not, install Elementor and activate it. After that, go to Starter Templates and up at the top right make sure you select Elementor. Re-choose your theme and Elementor will show. If Elementor has been installed already go to Starter Templates and look at the top right and choose Elementor. Re-choose your theme and see if that corrects it.
After installing wordpress. the admin-url takes me to a parking page with some Ad about donating. I have uninstalled and installed severally same outcome. cant get past it. You have a tip?
I should add that I chose https at first, uninstalled and then I have http installed . But still same result. leads me to a page about donating ... actually frustrating. signed up on hostgator since October of 2022 and haven't been able to go past this. I abandoned it for a while though.
Greetings! The page you are seeing kind of sounds like a new domain name page you'll see during the up to 24 to 48 hours propagation period. Sounds like this wouldn't be it. If a domain name isn't pointed to Hostgator nameservers you could see a page that sounds similar to this. Is your domain name registered with Hostgator or another provider?
If you go to my site WP Cupid Blog feel free to contact me via the contact page with the form if you want to provide the URL so I can see the page you are talking about. My email is in the description of this video as well. I'd be happy to take a look and help!
I don't see the dashboard you are looking at to install wordpress. My hostgator page just has homewebsites, c-panel email, domains, hosting listed on teh side panel. What am I doing wrong?
Greetings! Through time updates can take place. Go to the cPanel. Scroll down to the Softaculous Apps Installer and click WordPress. The steps will be the same after that. In the cPanel, you can also type in WordPress and it should take you to the same spot. Let me know if you have any trouble or if something else comes up. Always here to help!
@@wpcupidblog Got it, thanks!!
@@wpcupidblog I don't see the edit with elementor button, just edit page
In the top WordPress toolbar click on Caching and click Purge all cache. Go back to find edit with Elementor and it should show up now. If it doesn't, let me know and I can let you know what to do in the Elementor settings and features page.@@KennethRichmond-cn4bl
@@wpcupidblog Thanks for the quick help. Still don't see edit with elementor.
Right click on background image does not allow to change the background image?
Greetings! Try right-clicking on the background image and then click edit section. Then click Style. The image should show up to remove or change.
I have spent countless hours creating a site using the Earth template and just found out it is not mobile friendly. Everything looks terrible on mobile. Can this be fixed???!!!😢
Hi Kate! Yes, it should be able to be fixed. Replying back to you via Facebook now :)
@@wpcupidblog Lifesaver! Thank you so much!!
You're welcome!
please make tutorials To run CZcams ads
Will do! Thanks for the feedback!
Well when I paste my admin URL in the search bar it shows blank page no wordpress options are available. what should I do
Greetings! More than likely it is the domain propagating. This can take 24 to 48 hours but typically it will be able to show pretty quickly or within a few hours. Did you register a new domain name with Hostgator? About how long ago? This will help me troubleshoot. I'm here to help!
@@wpcupidblog Well I bought domain from GoDaddy and hosting from hostgator. Yesterday, I am installing Softaculous wordpress through c-panel and the process was done on the spot but when click on the URL, it doesn't show any result. Even the website url shows not secure
Okay, thank you for the information. Have you pointed your GoDaddy domain name to Hostgator? If not, this could be one reason why it isn't working correctly. Typically, it can take 24 hours before the free lets encrypt SSL Certificate is ready where you can enable and activate it to your WordPress site. Here's a helpful article on how to enable the free let's encrypt SSL Certificate: www.hostgator.com/help/article/hostgator-free-ssl. To use the free let's encrypt SSL Certificate with Hostgator you just want to make sure your domain is pointed from GoDaddy to Hostgator via an A record.
@@wpcupidblog yes during the time of purchase, hostgator asked me to mention your domain name before purchasing hosting, so I mentioned there. And after that I go to c-panel where it takes my domain name automatically.
@@kritics_konviction Okay. Here's a tutorial I did making sure the GoDaddy domain is pointed to Hostgator: czcams.com/video/mzqFxzz_8yA/video.html
Just want to make sure you did this? Sorry if I misunderstood your last message.
Hello my own admin wp link ain’t opening. It shows me error any help?
Greetings! What kind of error is it? 404 or anything with the error message? When installing WordPress on Hostgator did you choose http or https for your domain? This will help me narrow down what the error could be.
@@wpcupidblog thanks for replying. I choose at first https it didn’t go through. So I just change it now to http I think it’s about to proceed to my wp now 😊
You’re welcome! http should work fine and then you can switch to https once the free let’s encrypt ssl certificate from Hostgator has processed. 😀
@@wpcupidblog aight any difficulties will still let you know. Cuz am new in this. Just started today 😅
Sounds good! I'm here to help! You got this :)
I am not seeing the edit with elementor tab anywhere…
Hi Katie! You can get to the edit with elementor by going to the WordPress dashboard. You can click pages in the left-side menu. Click all pages. It'll then pull up all the pages on your site. You can click the edit with elementor link on the page you want to edit. It should be in the top menu bar if you are viewing a page on your site logged into the WordPress dashboard. Sometimes the bar is hidden or doesn't show. Let me know if you still have any trouble. Always here to help!
@@wpcupidblog Thanks - I finally got it! Also, I was wondering how to set up a pop-up Newsletter/blog subscription signup form. I see them on every website these days, but can't seem to find a way to set that up on my site!? Can you assist by any chance?
My apologies in the late response. I'm not always notified so it's easy to miss comments. My favorite is Optin Monster but it's a paid plugin. Free ones consist of MailPoet, Mailerlite, Omnisend, Mailchimp, and Convertkit.
Can you give me some free security addins like you said around 5:00 ?
Absolutely! WordPress plugins that are good for security are Sucuri, Wordfence, and All In One Security and Firewall.
@@wpcupidblog thanksss
You’re welcome!
I keep getting a 404 error for mine
Greetings! The 404 error could be caused if you chose https instead of http when installing WordPress at first. Let me know if you chose http and still getting the error.
I paid nine months ago... Still don't have a website
