Thank you so much! I've been looking for a tutorial on how to customize WordPress but all the videos I watched just made me more confused and overwhelmed. Your video is very helpful, it's what I'm looking for a clear step by step tutorial and not too much talking on unnecessary stuff but straight to the point.
So I finally found a tutorial that delivers on it's promise of being thorough! I'm looking forward to the 2nd Video in this series! Thanks for your effort and energy.
I can't thank you enough for what you do Hogan, this tutorial is so much value, i was able to creat a nice looking and funcational websit. not only you are not charging for this usful step by step guide, you have also provided the theme templates. I'm following you for life now, looking forward to all of your updates.
Wow ok. Well done mate. Very impressive. I've gone through a few of these and this seems to be the best. Watched this completely through three times and set up two separate blogs. One my personal blog and the second my attempt at affiliate / SEO.
Thank you for making this video. I was able to create my entire website from this tutorial from start to finish and had no clue what I was doing but I did it. Thank you. This was what I was looking for.
Excellent work & content! It was easy to follow and a great professional website. Are you working on part 2? I would love to watch part 2. Thank you for watching!
WOW!!! I'm thrilled that this content arrived at the perfect moment. It's amazing because I recently downloaded your video on "building a WordPress website." I appreciate you sharing this video, as it's exactly what I was looking for. Sending love from Nigeria!
It's always a pleasure to watch your videos, even though I learned how to make WP sites 3 years ago with your videos, I still learn from you, so thanks again Hogan sensei 👍
Thank you so much for this step-by-step tutorial, Hogan. I'm sure I'll be using it as a reference anytime. More blessings to you for sharing your valuable knowledge to help me get started. I'm looking forward to more of your tutorial videos.
I am impressed. Your attention to detail is amazing. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make a very helpful tutorial. I will have it open while I make my website. Huge help!!
Thank you for creating such an informative video. This video totally helps me setup my personal blog for the very first time. Especially love the special tips when designing a good website.
Thanks for your whole effort you put in making the video. You just earned yourself a sub. I'll watch this video later but I was really finding a wordpress video for making a blog website. Also, looking forward to your next video of monetizing this blog as well.
Thank you, one of the best tutorials out there! When are you publishing the next video? I would love to watch it soon and implement all the great tips!😄
this is what I waiting for a long time since you posted a couple of years ago.!! thank you so much for the video. i already used Themify theme but didn't know how to do it. Thank you and A big Happy New Year ~ I love you man!
Hey Hogan, I just stumbled upon this video by accident. iI is one of the BEST steps by step video i have seen in a very long time. Keep up the good work. I can't wait to see the 2nd part.
Hello. Thank you for sharing these valuable informations with us. But there is one thing you didn't explain. When I click on the blog button from the menu and select the subcategory, a page appears showing all the blogs related to this category with their full content listed sequentially. How can I change it to display only images ad titles of the blogs?
Great instructional video, as always. A couple of questions, please. Does the use of several modules affect the number of CSS and JavaScript? I thought there was something to adjust in Themify settings, but don’t know exactly what to adjust. Secondly, you mentioned about using (your) Themify Ultra and updating it, if necessary. Can you please explain more about this area? Thank you.
@HoganChua I am new to wordpress. I have and am learning to build with Themify Ultra, folllowing this and other videos by you. I am trying to put an svg generated animated gradient in the background of the hero section and lay a webp image on top with a transparent background. To do this requires two simple pieces of code, 1 html and 1 css. I have writtten them both and tesed in a browser and it works as it should. The webp displays properly in the theme and there is a box that allows webp use. I can see where I can add the additional .css code in custom css. I can't yet see where I might add the html, which consits of a viewbox instruction and parent/child . Is there a way I can do this please or do I have to create a child theme for it please? Also, if a child theme is the way forward, do I then have to create a child theme for the whole site I am building please on the back of your excellent video's? Thank you.
this tutorial was amazing, watched the whole thing and was able to follow along! Question for anyone who can help: How do I remove the date with the circle in it on each post? I cannot find where to edit it. This is built into each post. Thank you! Apologizes if you mentioned it and I missed it
Hi there, please nagivate to themify settings > Default layouts > Default single post layouts > Post date > that's where you can chane to normal inline display for the date - see screenshot: share.zight.com/X6uX7lLG Hope that helps!
I absolutely love your videos and it has inspired me to start my own website. Problem is, The "about us", "blog", "home" and other pages at the top are not displaying despite having followed the tutorial to a tee :(
I just finished your old tutorial about building Wordpress blog and how to monetize it. I can see this version having many updates and cool features! will definitely watch it. one thing though, is the next part of the monetization will have updates as well or is it gonna have similar methods as the old video?
@Hogan Concerning adding social media links at the top of every blog post - this doesn't work for me, unfortunately? I'm with you up until "Select Hook Locations" - I click this and am shown to my homepage, which isn't displaying any of the 6 blog posts I just made. They are also not turning up when I click the category "Blog" in the top navigation menu. Wonder if I missed a step somewhere... Also, Instagram isn't one of the available icons to add. What do? Update: Nevermind! Figured out your tutorial is just showing things in the wrong order there. Right after the social links hook thing, you added posts to the homepage, so I got it now. Still missing the Instagram icon, though.
Dear Hogan I have come to the part where I have created all the posts as instructed in the video. But My post do not show on the blog or on the home page as shown in your video. where did i go wrong. Please help.
For some reason, Themeify requires a Username and License Key. Does anyone know how to work around this? The theme is not showing up on my website because of this.
What a great tutorial! Thank you! I wanted to ask how you would recommend we build the site without doing it live on the internet (as in, keep publishing all the changes as we build them). It could take many weeks for beginners to do this -- or another use case is when you're building several of these. I don't want to publish an unfinished site. Can you give some pointers on how to tackle this situation? Thank you!
Are you using the WordPress platform? If so. Yes. I have a tutorial on it channel too. If you are using Hostinger website builder then I dont think so.
I'm Stuck! - It's probably super easy fix but I cant seem to get it right. I created and published my first post but it isn't appearing under blog? I can't see what I missed?
Hi Hogan, thanks for the tuto. Can you show us how to do a full sales funnel with themify landing page ? And I hope you can make the same tuto with Divi Elegant Theme.
Hi Hogan, I have followed your tutorials to build my website. the only issue i have with the new themify builder is that the alignment of the button section is missing. is there a way i can align the button to the center? I only have them to the left at now and cant center or right align.
Hey! Thank you so much for an amazing tutorial! I have built my website using your manual! Very helpful. I have a question re this topic: Step 15: Add Instagram Feed - 1:48:29 1. Can I add Instagram account of my partner? Not my personal one. 2. Do I need to Log in to Instagram using the password and login of my partner to do that? 3. Any other way I can do it without receiving 2nd party login and password? Thanks Nadya
its good, i love the video, but the problemwith this is that its full with bugs, i start creating my blog with this, but its like the them have bugs, a lot of very important things doesnt work properly like the menu - you cant asign a menu at all
Thank you so much for your contents I have learnt a lot just in few days. Please I have issue turning on my builder in themify after building my first website using a local host... How do I go about it? Builder wouldn't turn on
Did you build it using themify? And previously it was working and now it doesn't work? Or can you share a screen video or screenshot? If you need send it support@hoganchua.com
@@HoganChua yes. I built the first website using themify on a local host(local by flywheel). Then for practice sake, I proceeded to build the second website using the same host but I couldn't switch on the builder on the second website.
Can you change the permalink setting on an existing website? I am in early learning and have done quite a bit on my site, but it still isn’t there yet. I try to find learning every day and then work n the site itself. Just discovered your tutorials and am excited, but am not going to go from scratch on the site I’ve started (2xs). It is a community event site and I have it open for people to watch the build, they get to see the work, and learn about the event (a community builder happening in October). Thank you :)
Yes you should be able to change it without any issues. If your site is old and those URLs are ranking on Google, you may want to do a redirect for old URLs to the new updated permalink URLs - using a WordPress plugin like wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/ (or just type in "redirect" in the plugins section, you should see a few good ones) - so when people click onto it, it will redirect to the new URLs/pages.
Help! I’ve gotten to the part after adding the Instagram plugin then heading over to edit the Blog page and I can no longer “turn on the builder” on this page! I don’t know how to fix it!
Excellent video! I've been meticulously following each section of your tutorial. However, I'm encountering a persistent issue. After installing the themes, I'm facing an 'error 404' related to the social media links. According to the instructions, I should add a new page and link the social media to it to resolve this error. Despite doing this, the error persists, suggesting a lack of Wi-Fi connection, although my Wi-Fi is definitely connected. Could you offer any advice on how to fix this?
Did you get your social media profile URL? Just paste it in. I think it should be okay? Or please screenshot of where you are adding it in and send to support@hoganchua.com
I wonder why mine doesn’t look like yours anymore. Ughhh. It’s asking for my themify license credentials. I got this from here. I guess it’s not free. 😢 I just wasted the whole weekend working on this.
Hey Brother, i have a query hope u reply back, In the Mobile site View I want some page like blog and search icon to display on mobile view too, how to do this?
Not 100% sure what you mean by this. But By default they dont come with the options to add captions, however you can add the "alt text" which is for search engines. if you can share a screenshot of what you would like? and share the link here or support@hoganchua.com I think can use something like this to screenshot and share via link- app.prntscr.com/en/index.html

Hey Hogan, thanks for sharing your knowledge. The theme has updated reently, so do we need to purchase the new update or is it not necessary?
HERE TO your informative content, keep it up.

Hi men, super thank you ❤
Great VIdeo
do you know how to make blog?
thanks
ok
thanks
why great?
This was an amazing amazing video. I learned so much from it. Quick questing, all of your blog pictures have a rounded corner. How do you set that up?
@Hogan Concerning adding social media links at the top of every blog post - this doesn't work for me, unfortunately?

Dear Hogan I have come to the part where I have created all the posts as instructed in the video. But My post do not show on the blog or on the home page as shown in your video. where did i go wrong. Please help.
Thank you for all you do 🙏 😍😍
Great video
Great info! Thank you! Is Themify free or do you have to pay for it?
well i have been using that theme for about 3 to 6 months , or may be more
For some reason, Themeify requires a Username and License Key. Does anyone know how to work around this? The theme is not showing up on my website because of this.
Is there another way to relike your video for more then once
with 2 profiles! 😊
Bro, i have one simple question. If i use themify ultra, does that work with Elementor pro?
One question @HoganChua; are all the theme features used in this video on the free version?
What a great tutorial! Thank you! I wanted to ask how you would recommend we build the site without doing it live on the internet (as in, keep publishing all the changes as we build them). It could take many weeks for beginners to do this -- or another use case is when you're building several of these. I don't want to publish an unfinished site. Can you give some pointers on how to tackle this situation? Thank you!
You can always build the website locally and then migrate it to a live site with your desired domain. That's what I usually do.
Tried to activate the theme and I'm getting a ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error when trying to reach the wp-admin site. Any idea what's wrong?
Thanks man!
Hello!!! Hogan can i connect cj dropshipping to my hostinger website??
Are you using the WordPress platform? If so. Yes. I have a tutorial on it channel too. If you are using Hostinger website builder then I dont think so.
I'm Stuck! - It's probably super easy fix but I cant seem to get it right. I created and published my first post but it isn't appearing under blog? I can't see what I missed?
Great job!!!
Thank you!!
Can you do a tuto with Divi ?
Hi Hogan, thanks for the tuto. Can you show us how to do a full sales funnel with themify landing page ? And I hope you can make the same tuto with Divi Elegant Theme.
thanks you, that helps alot
Good tutorial
Thank you for this 😊
You're welcome 😊
Hi Hogan, I have followed your tutorials to build my website. the only issue i have with the new themify builder is that the alignment of the button section is missing. is there a way i can align the button to the center? I only have them to the left at now and cant center or right align.
Can we built affiliate pages with the theme you gave us?
Hey! Thank you so much for an amazing tutorial! I have built my website using your manual! Very helpful.
I have a question re this topic: Step 15: Add Instagram Feed - 1:48:29

Not 100% sure what you mean by this. But By default they dont come with the options to add captions, however you can add the "alt text" which is for search engines.
if you can share a screenshot of what you would like? and share the link here or support@hoganchua.com
I think can use something like this to screenshot and share via link- app.prntscr.com/en/index.html
