BUILDING A CHURCH WORDPRESS WEBSITE | Saint Paul Church of God in Christ

[@SHAUL-BEN-YISRAEL]

very informative video, very detailed, this was what I needed to get started building a website.

[@AJaytheCEO]

Glad it was helpful!

[@SHAUL-BEN-YISRAEL]

Hello Sir, great content and I love your detailed teaching style, question, I am building a website for a ministry for the first time. I have followed you instructions in detail for the new install, after installing the churchWP elementor theme and all the plugins, when I refresh, no new theme items are showing on the left side of WP even though it said the theme and plugins were installed. Any suggestions? Thanks

[@AJaytheCEO]

I'm not sure. Did you verify that they are all updated and supported on the current WordPress version?

[@SHAUL-BEN-YISRAEL]

@@AJaytheCEO thanks for the quick response. I will take a look. I believe all of the plugins were updated. I will review their compatibility, thanks.

@@AJaytheCEO It’s telling me I need to update WPBakery Page Builder to version 7.1 which I believe now has a cost associated with it.

Thanks!

You are welcome and thank you

Great video as always AJ :). May I be allowed to ask a question? I'm the web designer/developer for my church, and we're looking to redesign the site. Are there any church themes out there, that not only are they nice looking and Responsive, but they're also accessible to people with disabilities? Just curious. Thanks in advance!

[@AJaytheCEO]

Hey Mark, I personally would look at Themeforest.net for some ideas.

[@markbenson488]

@AJaytheCEO great! Thanks my friend :)

[@jamesludeman20]

I wish I could figure out why my theme isn't coming up properly. I did all the plug-in's and followed the steps but I am not seeing anything but some generic looking wordpress page. I have activated as well

[@AJaytheCEO]

Did you install the demo data with your theme? That normally installs the layout you might not be seeing

[@robinsonbill4382]

Can I get the theme for free,,,,,,I'm from Africa and would love to build a responsive site for my church

[@AJaytheCEO]

No it is a paid version

Hi AJaytheCEO this was a great video. I'm just struggling to add givelify to my donations page on Word Press. Any suggestions.

[@AJaytheCEO]

You should only need to add the code they give you or just link to your private giving page

[@tanw42]

Not sure if you mentioned it in your video because it was very long but two quick questions I'm hoping you can answer: 1) Is this all free using Wordpress and Bluehost (if not, how much is the monthly fee); 2) Do you have a link you can provide of the site you built so I can just view it and its functionality?

[@AJaytheCEO]

Hey, the wordpress theme cost and the monthly bluehost hosting costs $7 a month or about $125 a year. Since this is a client site, it is not open until I finish it for them but my church's website was built the same way using bluehost, antiochvarina.org

Hi thank you so much for this video. I wonder to upload video every Sunday is it possible with this template? I am looking a church theme to upload every Sunday

[@AJaytheCEO]

yes

[@GCch6874]

Hi, I somehow missed the designer (rather than elementor) which You use and the theme. May I ask you for reminders, please

[@henryernest5436]

Great tutorial. Is it possible to share the theme you are using?

[@AJaytheCEO]

No I cannot. This is a licensed theme

[@GCch6874]

Hi Ajay, what do you make of Elementor with Wordpress? I used it for a while for somebody but it's quite something when it comes to make it responsive if you have an intricate layout

[@AJaytheCEO]

It is a different designer. I've used it but I'm not a fan of anything being too complicated as it takes a certain person to maintain that type of stuff.

@@AJaytheCEO that did the trick, thank you. I'd noticed other videos where you had the web hosting link where it was not working too - not sure if you handle all those updates with one push or not, but I thought I'd let you know you may need to check the others too. Love your stuff, thanks.

Hello Ajay, very nice video. I will present this to my church as well. You are truly a God sent person to help all churches in these times.. God bless you!! I am having this concern, I got us some intros for every stream have on Facebook. But I would like to edit the videos but it can't be edited and 95% of the intro videos can only be edited with Adobe after effects or Premiere Pro.. All the softwares that costs money. So is there any way I can get past this, to edit the intro videos free? It causes me a headache. Thanks for helping out

[@AJaytheCEO]

Thanks and try davinci resolve

[@phantomhacker3417]

@@AJaytheCEO I have, but is there lower thirds I can buy and edit in DaVinci resolve and can I edit videos that's already created, in DaVinci resolve? When it says that it can be edited in Adobe after effects. Because majority stuff nowadays requires Adobe after effects or the Adobe editing software
