Great tutorial! However, I'm stuck at 27.06 When I log in it just says 'welcome to your new WordPress site. It shows my website name in the top right hand corner, but when I press 'visit site', it takes me back to the Hostgator 'getting started' screen. It was all going so well up until then! :o( Would appreciate any advice. Thanks
Hey Tyler! My friend and I are currently creating a website using WordPress, and before installing themes or plugins or widgets or anything at all, the site is asking for the Host name, FTP username and password, and lastly the connection type. We believe to have the information but when we select "Proceed" it brings us to a blank page where no progress is made. We're not sure if this is a problem with WordPress, or just our information. We would very much appreciate the help! Thank you!
I found this very informative. I wish I had seen it before my wife went through a similar process setting up her blog. You've inspired me to start my own though, so thanks for sharing this! I'd be interested in seeing similar instruction on uploading custom CSS/HTML or using a template as a base and illustrating ways to modify it.
@extrmmxer I like to separate when I buy the domain name from who I get hosting from so one business doesn't have all the power. Plus I wanted to show people how to do it if they already bought their domain name.
I followed all the steps but unfortunately, my account is blocked for now and they sent me a mail to ask for a scanned copy of my ID, in order to prevent fraud.
That is odd, I mean, send my personal information just like that?
Very nice tutorial! It was very helpful in explaining several of the functions of Wordpress. I "liked" and shared it with my friend who is also designing her own website.
Thank you so much for all the information you give on this video..for non-techie people that want to put up a professional image you sure helped in so many ways. Keep up the great work!
@Conutant thanks a lot bro..u had helped me to start of my own business on the web..i cant take u much more for this tutorials..may u have a good life
Account setup, please respond to this ticket with a scanned copy of a Photo ID such as as a passport, or drivers license. In addition to a photo ID, please include a scanned copy of the credit card that was used in your account purchase (assuming you purchased a hosting account with a credit card). For security purposes you can mask off all the digits of the card number except for the last 4 digits.
Amazing! Thank you. I was about to spend a lot of money for something I knew I could learn how to do given the right teacher. You are it! THANK YOU!!!
Just one question...my templates already has a 'home' page built in. I renamed it and edited it but when I publish, it creates another tab. So now I have the original tab "home" and a new tab "Principal | Home" both with the same content. I've seen a lot of people google how to get rid of the original "home" tab but no clear answers. Any ideas?
Ellie from London here. Really impressed that you've given so much of your time to put this together. Just starting to get into Wordpress and this was an excellent overview.
@elliethousand Hello London!! You are welcome! I can't believe my video has been in 129 countries! Thanks for the support! Let me know if you have any questions.
@elliethousand Hello London!! You are welcome! I can't believe my video has been in 129 countries! Thanks for the support! Let me know if you have any questions.
I have watched this video for 2 days and created my site! You are awesome! Sad news-I can no longer access my site to make changes and finish playing with it. I kept going back to where it says wp-admin and also wp-login.php but nothing works. Any suggestions?
Wow! Just got done watching video. You were true to your word - no step was left out. What a great job you did. Thanks VERY much. I teach at a community college and this will be very helpful for my students. Again WOW - You did an amazing job. VERY appreciated.
@jayman6988 So cool! I would love to virtually be in your class room! Feel free to use it, copy it, distribute it etc.. Let me know if you need anything.
Great stuff. Can you now show how to clear out all the crap, and make a bare bones site for photographers that just want to show their images. Thank you.
@SoapyTitsWank The first thing I would do is go to a website like theme forest, woothemes or get a free theme from wordpress that is minimal. Then from there you would have to enter in the html/css/php and start deleting stuff. Email me if you want me to get more into it.
First, I'd like to say you're very brave for putting up your personal details on youtube with all the identity security issues. Great video and great tutorial.
Your video has convinced me to finally getting off my butt to develop my website and your tutorial steps help make it painless
@Conutant I'm still working on it. Looking for some themes now which I could use. Will not be a lot information on this page. But anyway, Wordpress looks for me much easier to work with than Joomla. Will send you a PM when I'm finished with my homepage.
@TRanceifyable Oh yes! Sorry for the late response. It is a little complex to get rid of that you might want to hire a coder. But on the left side under appearance go to editor once you are in there on the right side click on footer and in that file you have to edit the code.
@sweetmargie2002 Most of the time that makes people leave the website because they could be at work or their baby could be sleeping. So I don't recommend it.
They totally got you on "Offers from us related to your purchase" at 9:57! To be fair.. they deserve something after all that hard work trying to spam you :P
Thank you. You have helped me understand Wordpress ! I currently use Moonfruit which is Flash based, but don't like not being able to read properly on ipad / iphone, so am looking to change. As a non techy person, this is not easy, but I am now more confident ! Thanks. Jim
How do I make a page titled, Browse that goes to a list of genres, upon selecting a genre, goes to a list of bands. is wordpress capable of this? im trying to make a website with all different types of music and bands.
@happydragondesigns I always wanted to get that theme. It seems web design is always a struggle, even for me. But when you figure it out it is worth it and will help you in the future.
you nailed it! very easy to understand !
