I am just about to create my first Website with WordPress. I watched first a tutorial in German and then yours. I love the way you talk: nice voice and a very professional yet friendly approach. You have been of great help - thank you!
This was amazing. I went into WordPress yesterday feeling so overwhelmed and your tutorial helped me create a functional and pretty website in just a few hours! Thank you!!!
This is an amazingly helpful video. I've been watching it for the last 3 days while working on my page and I'm pretty sure I heard your voice in my sleep last night. :) Good looks.
I have watched the previous video, but l will surely try this out. I have paid so much to developers but with little to show for all the efforts. I hope I'll find it easy as you explain it. Thanks bro's. You are doing a great job 👍
The BEST Web-building tutorial!!!! Dale!!! Thank you so so so so so much for your effort!!! You made me (a digital fool 😂) feeling that I can nail the task!!!! So many thanks and I wish you stay safe. xx Dory
Knew virtually nothing about WP or Creating Websites. Didn't have the slightest idea where to start. Viewed others' videos and overwhelmed. You provided start to finish in each of your videos that I viewed. From a teaching viewpoint, you are "right on". The right material and awesome presentation. Will continue to follow and view your videos and recommend you to other "non-techie 'elders" like myself. Thanks & Blessings!
I happened to see one of your videos in my RU-vid feed and scrolled past and was like "that looks a lot like Dale McManus" Then saw it was you! LOL I started following Lauren/Alex's blog first then saw your Wandr video. Looks like your killing it with this channel! Awesome work!
Best how to video. Keep rewatching to learn things I missed the first several times. If I could only get the customizing to work. Learning to work around that.
Your tutorials are terrific. Well presented, engaging, and you don't talk too fast! On things... I'm new to WordPress, but I'm a tech kind of guy. I want to stay away from Elementor, though, because of it's cost. Do all of your training vids use that or do you have some that use Kadence, etc. Thanks...
Thank you so much Dale. I've just set up my own Pilates website. I'm also going to set up my Nutrition business website up too on a separate domain. Will be delving into your other videos very soon.
At 74 I am going to give it a try. Your videos are really well presented. Question: When you make a new page - how do you get it to show on the navigation at the top? Thanks so much
Good question! Click this link and it will take you to another video on my channel where I show you how to edit the header menu ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0ytfC9NsX3Y.html Basically, all you have to do is go into the customize tab and click on the menus tab. Then, click on the navigation menu that you want to add the page to. Next, click on add items and then click on pages. From there, you will be able to add the page to the menu. I hope this helps.
Thanks Dale. A prompt helpful reply is so rare these days. It’s what will keep people like me glued to your channel. Really appreciated. At my age it’s all a bit daunting. 🌹
Hi - Well I got most of it right - 74 and trying - sometimes VERY trying. Just one issue maybe you could help me with - I changed the video and fallback background image in the Hero section at the top and it works great on my laptop but neither the video nor the photo are showing on my mobile. Any suggestions? Thanks so much - Seems it's only happening on my phone when I rsarch through google - comes up fine on Safari. Thanks
Great tutorial! I'm having troubles at 15:13 where you set the "Page Attributes" attribute "Template" to "Elementor Full Width". I do not have the option to select any templates, it simply isn't there for me. Instead I have "Parent Page" and "Order". What can I do to set the Template to Elementor Full Width? Thanks.
Great tutorial I didn't know anything about building a website was told just to pay someone to build it. Editing the gallery at a later date with low res pics will be my biggest challenge hopefully there is a video on that. Thanks again. Any tutorial suggestions I would appreciate
could you make a website using the Blocksy theme? I'm curious to see all the possibilities and Blocksy videos from other RU-vidrs are just not as detailed and clear as your videos so well, if you could consider putting it somewhere on the shooting schedule, that would be awesome! :) Great job guys, looking forward to the next one!
I'm glad you asked. Here is a tutorial of me using the Blocksy Theme. It is an affiliate website but you can just watch the header and footer section and get the gist of how to use the theme. Here you go: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5wvxZUWnjM4.html
Dale, thanks for your guidance in learning how to build a WordPress website. I followed your directions but by default, I see a header image and I don't know how to get rid of it so that I can start on a blank slate. Can you please tell me what am I doing wrong or how can I cancel and start fresh?
Hi!! I have a question. I followed your instructions and I made the menu buttons. However it doesn’t translate to mobile. On mobile it still displays homepage and sample page. Also, how do I give value to the get started button so that it jumps onto the contact form? Big fan!!
This is such a great tutorial, thank you so much for recording it. However, I am having some issues with the WPForms widget. It didn't seem to import with your template so I added a new WPForms widget in the Contact area. When I click on the edit (pencil) icon, I only see the options under the Edit WPForms are only Content and Advanced, there is no Style selection. Did something change since you recorded this video?
Hello Dale, I found all your videos helpful. It have helped me alot in improving my skills but I would like it if you also make a video on how to build a hyip website, job websites because my clients in UPWORK that I have helped build a dropshipping website are also asking me to build hyip website for them and it's not a good Idea to tell your clients that you don't know how to deliver a gig. I've made some few bucks with the help of your channel already. I will do giveaway here someday... LOL 😂
All you have to do is add a button at the bottom of the page and change the text to say "Back to top". Next you will set the link as "#top". Finally go up to the top of the page and edit the top section, go to the advanced tab, and click on CSS ID and type in "top" without the pound sign. This will make the button take you to the top. There are also other themes like Blocksy that have built in Back-to-top buttons rather than having to create them. Astra does not have a built in top button.
Great tutorial, Dale. I've been trying to put together a blog website. I want a separate page for the About, but I'm having trouble getting the page and menu to link so that it goes to the About page when you click on the About link. Instead, it just stays on the Home page showing About. Not what I want. The Home page will be the page that will host the blogs in separate blocks. I'm having a hard time getting that as well. Do you have a tutorial on doing this? Also, I want to create a side bar with content that will lead people to a landing page.
Hi, great work, love it. However, I am trying to follow using your template but have some difficulty as there is a large column on the right with is not allowing me to see the entire page making it difficult to customise. How to get rid of it?
Thanks a lot for this amazing tutorial. I want to know how to build a blog section like the one in your video without your template. I can only found the recent post widget which gives a list-style post that is ugly.
Hi Dale, thanks for guiding these steps so I can build my first website, I just found out there's no style tab while I editing wpforms, make it's harder to customize the submit tab and other else, do you know why or how to fix it?
Hi Dale....thanks a lot for your amazing tutorials!!! Just wondering if you can recommend a good template for travel agency/tours company, that work with Elementor
Hey this was amazing. This is the only place that clearly told me why my activated theme dint look like what I expected. Could you plaese talk about forums.. there arent any free themes that dont look bad.. what do you recommend.. please post a video on creating a forum website..

Thank you
Hi Dale. Wonderfully explained video!!! Thank You. A query for you......Is it possible to introduce a "log-in page"(/or widget) into the Home Page, so that, only those who have the necessary credentials can access some(/or all) of the webpage contents?
Mate, you have already done few of these basic web sites before. can i make a suggestion, Could you do a series of designing sites with professional Themes like PORTO, FLATSOME, EDUMA, ELECTRO ? i m sure those have some exciting to follow along than normal basic designs.
Hi - Finally signed up and am following your template. One problem - When I tested the contact form it does not work. You mentioned you would address this later but I cannot seem to find where the "fix" is. Thanks Lizzie
Hi Dale thank you so much for creating a wonderful video but I need your help my intention to create this website is for my blog but I am having difficulty when I wrote the blog the way you explained it doesn't show up on the homepage under the blog category and from my blog page I am not able to return to my homepage, why is that what should I do?
