How can you put a voice actor on automatic in the KZbin player?! your voice is speaking in Portuguese to me!! and I saw a dubbing feature activated on your KZbin player, and no one else has the dubbing option!!

VERY VERY useful, I tried to create my own blog site for affiliate marketing by myself, but gave up, your 2-hour tutorial gave me my own original website. Thanks!

[@memes_around_the_www]

Can you share your site's URL?

[@artyomstrelnikov8549]

Thank You very much. For those who just try to build first WordPress blog - this tutorial is just everything you need to build your website from zero. I would also suggest installing some "Under construction" solution, so nobody could reach your website when you are working on it (I have migrated from Blogger, so it was essential for me to pause the audience). Again, thank you 🤟

[@tobyh5]

A great video, I appreciate the detail you give along with the explanations of how things work so that we have the freedom to make adjustments to our taste, rather than some videos that are so prescriptive you cannot adapt. However, I do have a question on how to improve an aesthetic - your dummy posts are identical and so they are aligned for length. However in reality headlines may be single, double, triple length line and that misaligns everything so it looks messy. I know I could CSS code this to limit the headline and text length, but not sure how to and instead am having to word count the headlines to be the same number of lines. Be handy if this was considered - ie make dummy posts of varying length and show how to align it in a more pleasing way

Hey from Brazil! I really liked your video. I'm curious. I could watch your video in Portuguese with your voice. Also, I could watch in English, Spanish and other languages with your voice. Please, could you tell me: how do you do that? For example: I learned I can use Gtranslate to have my blog in many languages. It's the first time I could watch a video changing the language. I'll glad to know about that. I've just met your channel. Congratulations! Amazing videos. Thank you for sharing such an amazing content!

I love the tutorial so much it really helped me I just have one issue with the read more icon in the Edit TPG - Grid Layout the icon stays huge and I don't know how to fix it its weird if I type 2 letters its small like yours but the more I type the bigger it gets. 😅

[@DineshKumar-xj9wj]

This is absolutely fantastic bud, thanks so much. Never built so much earlier but I am facing 3 problems. 1) on home page, how to limit the number of post shown in the grid, I could not find the option and it is showing 9 for me :-( I want it to be only 6 posts. 2) in Blog page, after changing to thumbnail, excerpt is still big, not changing even after changing to less character. 3) In blog page again, it does not show widget ...it says 'Your theme has 2 other widget areas, but this particular page does not display them." I will highly appreciate your guidance :-)

[@JeanetteDeltour]

Hello, I am having those same issues you mentioned. Did he reply to your questions or were you able to resolve them? Can you share how you did if so? Thanks!

[@jessefardin]

Excellent video!! Just set up my first homepage ever. The only problem I got with the homepage is that the arrow after the "Read more" gets REALLY big. Does anyone know how to fix this? I really like the arrow.

[@marie-gabriellemarty2689]

iIve got the same issue! so I just removed the arrow for now.

[@endriaswondafrash9921]

[@fluttterdev1k]

very useful buddy thanks to your time and effort

[@hdaji]

Excellent Video Tutorial. I do have a serious question? Hoping, you might be able to assist. At "Blog Page" and "Post Page" video clips, when I try to include that on my website, (Hosted as well as WAMP) the TPS Grid shows quite narrow, not as full size as you show in your video. e.g. Your video shows 100% representation of Posts the way it should look. In my case in both instances, it shows probably 65%-70% (narrow by almost 30%). Secondly, the icon arrow symbol looks normal in your video tutorial. The way it should look like. If I chose the same icon from the icon library you show, the arrow is much large and looks ugly on the next line. I have closely followed the same settings step-by-step as you explain in your videos. I am also a paid Pro Subscriber of Elemental Pro. This means I have all the Tools Plus More officially licensed by the individual developers' team. For this reason, I stopped watching your video, because it does not create the same Blog Posts view as you show on your videos. I thought it might me my valued Hosting Provider, but it is the same effect in WAMP Server or any other Browser I use. Do not get me wrong. This is a BEST Tutorial you have packaged together. I love it, but why does it not work for me, when I follow the exact step-by-step as your video shows. Your Blog video is almost the same as www.marketbeat.com (US Website).

[@hopeforhobi2352]

Thank you so much sir ❤

[@aloSolo]

when i added the arrow on the post i get a big arrow not the tiny one you got

[@learnbox3783]

Same thing happens to my blog, please anyone tell how to place arrow icon right side of Read More text

[@pierinongari32M]

Funny how one gets completely different outcome from some seemingly simple operations Simon makes! Or could he be using some plugins he didn't disclose?

[@learnbox3783]

@pierinongari32M It may be possible

[@shaunmccusker8175]

Same problem here. I got the Big Arrow, too. I just disabled the Show Icon and went with the "Read More" text by itself. Somewhere there should be a Typography setting or a Size (for the icon?) but I can't find it yet.

[@liukuohao1]

Hi, Simon. I noticed you have 1 video title: How to Build An Affiliate Marketing Website 2024 (Full Guide) showing using OceanWP theme for affiliating marketing. I am interested in building affiliating market website & blogging as well. Which them is better ? OceanWP or Astra theme ? Or it does not really matter that much which theme to use? Thanks.

[@MeticsMedia]

both work well, i personally prefer oceanwp for a blog

Brilliant tutorial, but a lot of the work here requires an upgraded account, which I don't have and can't afford. Do you have a similar video that uses the free options in WP?

[@MeticsMedia]

thank you. Everything in this video is done using the free versions of the tools. So the only cost should be hosting. Maybe you‘ve used wordpress.com? (it‘s different from the wordpress.org platoform)

[@shanewang8020]

Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial. Signed up and did up the website. I saved it last night, and everything was in good order. However, this morning I logged in again, my wordpress bliog page sidebar is missing. The actual blog page still has its default side bar. I went to appearance and widgets, and everything was in order. When I followed your steps again, under customizing - widgets, they don't show the "default sidebar" option. They only have Footer 1, 2, 3, 4. Are you able to help?

Is there any way to remove that sentence (also considering it will always show zero comments)? Thanks!

Thans but better if it is without any additional theme or plugin 🙂Maybe using 2021 theme

[@jimfernald5481]

Great tutorial. I had problems with the Mailchimp section because I am using a different theme from Astra which did not have the Mailchimp plug-in, so I added it and then I had to subscribe to Mailchimp and edit the form in WP which is complicated. I can see that in your theme there is a plugin that I guess does not require signing up for Mailchimp. Is there any way to do that in the Astra theme, because I can't edit the mailchimp sign-up form in Elementor, so it looks crappy. Thanks again!

[@rohitghosh4625]

Do we also need a wordpress paid plan for it or is the hostinger plan enough ?
