Update 2024 - since filming this video, Namehero have unfortunately nearly doubled their prices. I've moved my sites over to Chemicloud, which I highly recommend - you can see why in my latest tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqukk5KLqdV2rrs (hosting part is at minute 4:53) You can check out their offer here: wpmkr.com/chemicloud Namehero is still a decent option, but Chemicloud is much better value for money. Chemicloud is super fast (same Litespeed technology as Namehero), it allocates your website more resources, and has amazing customer support. The decision is yours, just wanted to give you a heads up about the changes since filming this video :) thank you so much for watching, and best of luck with your site!

[@mindfulgoaljourney]

Hey, I follow your video step by step and is great. But I have this weird share and like button on my blog page, review page and contact. How can I take that off. Please help

[@wpmaker]

@@mindfulgoaljourney Hey, sorry but I'm only now seeing your comment. If you created your Blog page in Elementor Pro, then you can remove the buttons by editing the page with Elementor like I show in the video. If you're using Elementor Free, then your blog page is handled by your theme (the Astra theme if you followed the steps in this video). So you will find the settings related to the blog page by going to Appearance > Customize, then look for all Blog related settings. The buttons can be disabled from there. Hope you've figured it out in the meantime, good luck!

Several hours of quality content squeezed into 1 hour and 48 minutes. I've been working through it on and off over three days, pausing and following along. I've not only got a half decent looking site, but I've learned so much in the process. Thanks!

[@IntegrativeHealthWellness]

Wow! Wow! Wow, this tutorial really broke down WordPress in such an easy-to-understand way! I watched over 1 dozen videos to learn how to set up my website on WordPress and no video had helped me. You were detail-oriented, clear, and precise. I've been struggling with it for weeks, but now I feel like I finally get it. Thanks a lot! 👏👏👏👏🙏🙏👌👌👌

I was contemplating buying a "custom template" from some page because of how difficult it was to use wordpress or even find a decent tutorial. Your guide to make a blog website from scratch is hands down the best tutorial out there for using wordpress. You saved me at least $60 and now I have so much more knowledge on how to use WP. Good job man!

[@wpmaker]

Thank you so much for the comment Eric, glad it helped! 🙏

[@carsen-socal2775]

Outstanding! I wish I had found this video sooner. I'm using this to update both my Elementor sites! Exactly the design I wanted but couldn't figure out how to do. Thank you!!!

[@wpmaker]

Hey Jay! Thank you so much, I'm glad you're liking it so far! No need to be put off, just take it step by step like in the video. You've got this :) if you bump into any issues just let me know in another comment and I'll do my best to help. Good luck!

[@jays9591]

Just registered a domain name as per your video (via nameHero), but the site is not live even after a few hours. I never received a validation email as shown in your video. How can I find out if my new domain is registered and up and running? Basically, I got stuck at the stage 10:06 in your video. The nameHero dash board says I have 1 cloud but 0 domain. When I click the domain box, the further detail says that my new domain name is 'pending'. I would not want to bother you, but nameHero has no real contact detail for enquiry (other than a 'bot') which is not useful.

[@jays9591]

Hi there. The site has gone live. ... after 5 hours. Many thanks for the video, though. Now I can continue with the video (-‿-).

[@wpmaker]

Hey Jay, sorry for the late reply, glad to hear your site is live now! It does take up to 48 hours sometimes for new domains :) Namehero do have a support option inside your account, somewhere on the left side. You can write them a message (ticket) and they've been responding to me within less than 30 minutes always. Hope your site is coming along nicely, best of luck!

I appreciate that you demonstrated how to achieve this using both Elementor Free and Elementor Pro. Now, even if you don’t want to purchase the Pro version (at least not for now), you can create a great-looking blog. Additionally, your prompt response to my question allowed me to adjust the specific detail I wanted. Thank you! 🙌🎉
