Good day Simon I see you have alot of other channels in other languages and I wanted to know if you would like to make another in a language that you don't have right now I can do that for you translate all of your existing videos into a language that you don't currently have. Hit me up if your interested either way it would be a great honor to work with you. Kind regards Dean.

Honestly, I don't even know where to start! I feel like I owe you a stipend. I can never, ever, ever, show you how much I appreciate you and how helpful this video was for me.

FANTASTIC TUTORIAL!!! Thank you for covering everything from the point of assuming that the viewer knows absolutely nothing!! You helped me get a new basic site built in 2 days! And I've recommended this to several of my students!

My heartfelt thanks! I built my entire website based on this tutorial!

the best tutorial i have ever seen!! Well done Simon!

[@aadilsehrawat8121]

To anyone who is having this problem where elementor has not been installed by default or facing the issue that the whole page is just 1 text editor. Follow this: 1. Restart the process from the point where you installed Starter Templates after deleting current pages and their data. 2. Click the "Get Started" button on starter template plugin from the plugin page. 3. MAKE SURE to select elementor from the top right dropdown. For me it was set to AI Website Builder by default. Rest, the process is same. For those of you facing the problem, elementor didn't get installed because it was not selected in 3rd step (the interface keeps on changing) And now as the website was now not build using elementor when you try to edit this version using elementor you see it as one single text editor Follow above steps and it will be resolved Like this comment to help others as well. Cheers!

[@toniprado]

How did you get to Elementor to show up in the dropdown menu on the right? I tried many times (recreating a new site from scratch) first installing Elementor plug-in then installing starter plugin and nothing. It still only gives me 3 options on the top right menu: Block Editor, Beaver Builder and Ai Website Builder. Could you help with some hint ?

[@wiser-together]

OMG thank you! I built a website in Wix 10 years ago and this is my first time using Wordpress. I've been troubleshooting for an hour and then came across your comment. Problem solved! You are amazing!

Hostinger wordpress has changed a lot in last two month. We do not get Elementor plugin in Startup(though they have written it). But we get Spectra as default. Spectra is creating problems. Please make a new video using current changes. One more thing, How can I remove astra theme and reinstall it again as this might be the issue(I am not sure)

Go to the admin page( yourdomain/wp-admin/ ) 2. go to settings (in the bottom left) 3. click to general settings 4. scroll down until you reach the end of the page 5. ENABLE "ELEMENTOR" page builder to be shown on starter templates Now you're hopefully done. (It worked for me)

[@shugasays]

Thank you so much for this video. It was super helpful. I was tearing my hair out for days trying to figure out what to do having recently changed from WIX to the dreaded Wordpress that I have been avoiding for years. However your calm voice and excellent teaching style really helped to bring me clarity and peace. I am very grateful for you. Thanks again.

[@alijex7305]

May I ask why did you decide to change from Wix to Wordpress?

[@shugasays]

​@@alijex7305 Because I happened upon Hostinger recently. I learned about the service through a KZbinr. I did some independent research and decided to give the service a try because it was soooo much cheaper than Wix. However, I soon learned that it's not a template program. So the Wordpress I have been running from all these years because it always seems so complex to learn, I was forced to learn in order to take advantage of the service. I am not a fan of webpage design or programming. I struggled through design class in college and now live for a template program.

[@gatobuho-]

​@@alijex7305 1Pages created in Wix do not appear in the top Google search results. In the company where I used to work, they made pages with Wix and their pages were difficult to find. For some reason wix is terrible at SEO.

[@Abhik_hz]

Hi Simon, I am really loving your video and I also watched your video where you are using Hostinger Website builder. Really thank you a lot for making such good quality content. I had one question, among the Wordpress and Hostinger builder, what are the pros and cons of these two methods. Or I can pick either of them?

[@MichaelDoherty-g3c]

I noticed the same thing as someone else - Elementor is not default being installed with the theme and the pages are just one block container of Text Editor. Some of the containers are even different as far as what is within them

[@dhruvnair9743]

hi did you find a solution to this? im facing the same issue

[@electromil]

Same here

[@Alex-nx7fq]

I found the solution: Login to your WordPress dashboard: Go to Settings > General Scroll down to the "Starter Templates" section Switch off the "Disable Elementor in Starter Templates" option

[@efezi2835]

GUYS!!! ATTENTION!!! If Elementor is not showing when choosing a editor(in the top right). Here is what you do: 1. Go to the admin page( yourdomain/wp-admin/ ) 2. go to settings (in the bottom left) 3. click to general settings 4. scroll down until you reach the end of the page 5.

[@inotia2fan]

Hello, at 21:48 of your video, I don't have elementor among the options. How can I get it to show up among the options?

[@ShiByShila]

Hi, thank you for this, May I ask why I am unable to make changes to certain pages such as : about me, Blog, contact, home, etc.. on this template. it doesn't give me an option to edit with Elementor and when i try to edit it, it gives me an error: Your site doesn’t include support for the "theme-blocks/newsletter-form" block. You can leave it as-is or remove it.

[@s0opr0oud]

To change the menu header, I see that you changed the color, but if I want a separation design between "HOME" and "ABOUT" like a simple line like this "|" or a small image, how do I do that?

[@MarkLouisCornea]

Just put a solid border only in the right side of the element, set it to 1px.

What a tremendous work man, thank you!

[@tausifahmed5158]

ok, awesome. just tell me, for example in the middle of building a website if we decide to switch to another theme, and start all over again, how can we do it. please reply ASAP

[@matshepherd118]

This video is one month old and I don't know why things in these videos are always different from what I see on my end. Does Hostinger/Wordpress update their sites like everyday or something? It's very annoying not being able to follow a YT tutorial.

[@user-br1vk8xz1t]

@meticsmedia I'm experiencing the same thing! Thank you so much for an incredible tutorial but when I try editing with Elementor, it doesn't give me all the same functionalities. Do you know if anything changed? Thank you again for sharing all this info.

The video was fantastic and clear. Thank you so much. I appreciate your success in your channel.

[@AndreeaDumitruFitness]

So i used the same template that you used . When I try to change things in it, I see that is not made from multiple containers as yours and is just one container with everything put in it, in form of a text/code. And in order to change the background, the images or the text in, I have to do it in the text in content/text editor, and is all there, in 'visual' section. In ''text'' section I have the code. Is this changed since you have done the video? All templates are the same.

[@crowe6448]

I went to the bottom of the page (where you would add another container), clicked on the Starter Templates icon, selected the home page on EARTH again and it created the same page with all the containers separated. Then, I erased the original container on the top.

[@thinkinsight]

Broo, thanks for uploading this video.. really this video is Very Very Useful.

[@toniprado]

It's quite confusing at the moment. Selecting Astra activates the Spectra plugin builder. Disabling Spectra, however, disrupts the design, creating a real mess. For using Elementor, which theme would you suggest choosing?

[@toniprado]

For instance, if I attempt to edit the 'home' page of the Earth template with Elementor, as suggested in the video, it places everything into a single container. Could you provide assistance with this issue?

[@markfernandez9128]
