Can't believe this video didn't include how to change the stock image of the homepage. Literally probably the most important part of this whole tutorial.
This in not only a great video explaining how to setup the Astra theme, but a great video explaining the WordPress theme customization panel. Great work!
Great demo! Not sure if I would pick the puppy theme for a demo, but Astra is so powerful I suppose any theme would work. Great pace and content. Well done!
You sir were correct, as you did cover, "Every setting is covered in a logical way." It would have been nice to have you go step by step from scratch to build the website. I've watched about five Wordpress/Astra tutorials and I am about 1/50th along on building a website. Most tutorials makers, think they are hunky dory, but in reality, cannot explain themselves to the first time builder.
Awesome and simply put tutorial. Normally tutorials this long I've lost focus and more than likely nodded off. So a huge heads up and congratz for keeping me intrigued and focussed as I've come away knowing how wordpess actually works.
Really a very helpful video. I am a beginner in wordpress and I was going through what theme to install, so finally I will go for Astra Pro... Thanks WPcrafter.
I'm so happy to have you as a subscriber here on the channel! I'll do my best to keep creating the easiest to follow tutorials that will help you get the most out of what you use.
Wow! So much information in one video... Great! I bought Astra maybe one year ago, have it installed but not really used a lot of the possibility. Now I know better what and how to use it. Thank you, Adam! :-)
OMG. I was about to ask a question and seen the suggest for the fb group. I'm omw there now!!! Your page is a god send for DIY'ers like myself. Thank you and yes I am subscribed.
Actually a really dope theme. I picked it up recently and I'm redesigning my architectural photography website. It's been going very smooth! Love it way more than WP OCEAN.
Adam perfect timing! Starting to build a website with Astra, Brizy, and Smart Slider 3. Would be nice to have full in-depth tutorials on Brizy and Smart Slider 3 too (yes I know you an Elementor guy lol). Thanks for a great video.
Loved it! Explained clearly every setting option and made it easy to understand. Looking forward to similar style tutorial for Brizy and Smart Slider 3 as those are lacking great video tutorials on each setting they offer. For me Astra + Brizy + Smart Slider 3 = HEAVEN. Today you solved one puzzle for me with Astra. What issue I also have is decide when to use Astra site layouts and containers, and when to use Brizy’s options. Same for when to use header and footer offered by each.
@ 4:46 you said that the _Delete Previous Imported Site_ will cause my whole site to be deleted before the the new theme is loaded. Did I understand correctly? If I've taken many days to populate my site with text, photos, and graphics that, when I change the theme it will also wipe out all my content, right? I thought the whole idea of themes is to separate the presentation from the content. I hope I'm wrong in this understanding, because the theme I have chosen just doesn't work for me; too narrow so the schedule tables are crushed.
I've been asked to build a new site for our local drama group. Playing with OWP and Elementor Pro at the moment, reviewing some Themeforest themes but just about to watch this Astra tutorial as I haven't used Astra before. I'm hunting for inspiration. Thanks in advance for the tutorial. Needless to say, as they are a small community group, they have almost no budget.
You should see if one of their free Astra starter sites will fit with what they need. Then you'd be using a free theme with a free page builder and a free starter site. That's about is no budget as it gets.
Super good tutorial Adam! Because of your advice, I’ve only been using the combo of Astra and Elementor to build my sites and that combo makes everything so much easier!
So helpful - but now that my website has been up a year - I need to add things to it ... and am having a terrible time - even duplicating a page and then over writing it - leaves the url for that new page showing a nearly clone name and not reflecting the new author (I have to do a new page for new authors and new books many times a year) so ?? can you do one that doesn't just start at the beginning all the time ?? but how to manipulate and change things ONCE is it already there - thanks
Really liking the new customizer setup with Astra. My favorite changes are the header options they added. They're making a great product ever more great. Looking forward to seeing the new site templates and the other great things they have coming.
Thought I clicked on Astra site when I saw the intro start. It's fresh and very, very professional. If its not too much work, I would use the style of intro from now on.
I love your videos. I appreciate your clear, honest advice. I do have a question. Should I use a child theme with Astra Pro? I purchased the Astra Growth Bundle and I'm in the process of creating an e-commerce site. I saw in the control panel where is recommends a child theme when editing WooCommerce. I find information on the internet that is unclear to me. I've even looked through the Brainforce site... still not sure how to proceed or find a good guide for this.
Hi...thanks for making the video. I have Astra Pro...is there any benefit in buying Elementor seeing as it looks like Elementor ~comes with Astra? Thanks in advance for any input!
Ha...I now see your comment from a day ago....I bought Astra based, largely, on your recommendations in other videos. Everyone's allowed to change their mind, of course. Nonetheless, if you could let me know if I do need to buy Elementor (if doing so would provide any additional benefit), I'd really appreciate it.
Elementor is a free page builder, but they have a pro version which is paid. If I could only buy one, Astra or Elementor, I would strongly suggest buying Elementor, you get so much more that you will end up needing for your site.
WPCrafter.com WordPress For Non-Techies Thanks...I actually have both Astra Pro and the paid Elementor...I was really trying to figure out if I should return Elementor (if it came with Astra)..I’m deducting that the unpaid Elementor is available to people who buy Astra Pro but not the paid Elementor which does provide more functionality which means (if we’re not considering money) it does, indeed, make sense to buy paid Elementor (or, it wouldn’t make sense to return it...I’m getting features that don’t come with Astra). I think I have my mind wrapped around it...thanks again.
I imported the Astra theme but the images and wording hadn't shown. I have no idea how I can edit without them. Would you tell what I had done wrong and what should I do now? Thanks!
Like always great information Adam. Which is the software you use to switch the screens and let the pc screen behind you? As I see on the 37:06 minute in your video
I picked one of the free Astra starter sites. Do they all have the ability to make the feature image on the homepage smaller than when expanded to the single blog post? If so, how can I do this? Thank you!
My site doesn't have a Blog page using Real Estate starter page but I want one and I like this site since I am a real estate lender. What are your recommendations?
@@WPCrafter Hi Adam, I really like your detailed and clear teaching ! I was taught by my mentor to use Ocean WP all the time but now I would like to change to Astra, do I just activate Astra directly ? Will it affect my existing pages alot ?
Hello and thanks for your usefull video. Please can you tell me which one could be the best way to build a e-commerce for selling artisan percussion? [Divi / Elementor Pro / Astra / Astra Pro..(i don't have so many category) ] Thank you so much , i m stuck from days....
how are you. I have installed the Astra theme but i can only see my product images when i am logged in to wordpress. When i log out the images disappear although when i hover the cursor over the area where the images should be the meta description is seen. Can you explain to me where i went wrong?
Hi Thanks for the tutorial. I am having little trouble figuring out Astra. I imported template from Astra, and I am trying to link button to go to desired page of my website. I don’t know how to. I am not talking about header. Thank you please help
Great video indeed, Thanks so much. I want to develop a site where I'm going to display videos I took. All about 3 minutes long, and stored on Google Drive. Which site would you recommend for embedding my videos?
When it comes to enabling comments on any specific page,. with this theme what must we do to extend the Astra walker, astra_theme_comment(), to add & display custom fields that are beyond Author name | Email | website URL and Comment?
I'm new to WordPress, and I am undecided on whether to go with Astra or Kadence? Astra seems to have better templates, and way more choice, but Kadence seems to be the up and coming heavy hitter? Which one would you recommend for a noob to learn inside out?
I bought the pro version. I can not personalyze my posts and pages from some time ago. When I try it, I just can see a blank page with the word "widgets". How could I mend this? Thanks.
Great tutorial, great product, but I'm so CONFUSED. If I use an Astra starter, does that mean I can't use my page builder? (Brizy) As an example area, I'm assuming Astra's "global" typography is setting h1, h2, etc. But Brizy can also set these values. Who wins? Will it create conflicts? Would love to see a video going deeper into the relationship/rules between themes and page builders.
sorry if this was in the video somewhere i must of missed it, but how do you change main background images to some other image source do you have to change the HTML or CSS for that? or is there a quick way to do it build into astra
Hi, thank you for making a video on this. I'm still unable to find a solution for my issue though. My posts' featured images are displayed like a gallery on my homepage, but only the text is clickable. Is there a way to make the images clickable and hide the text?
Hey man, So I'm not sure if anyone asked this question but what is it that I can do when the importing process doesn't go through? It keeps saying content not found.
I can't follow this because the sliders and colors don't change anything when I reset them or move them on my website. Is something locked somewhere I can't find it?
Great tutorial Adam. I had some problems with the header and footer with the free Astra templates. I will certainly look at the way you are showing in this video. I think that I have skipped some this I didn't realize I could set up properly. Futhermore it's a bit annoying with the templates you'll get some plugings which I don't always prefer. Do you recommed them to use those plugins or to choose your own ones? And thanks again Adam. I don't know how you do it but You are the best source to build WordPress website. I probably said it before but you are THE man. ;-)
Hello , i tried the Astra link in your video description. But it is not Downloading any theme for me. I tried clicking the Astra download button on the website it took me to the paid versions..

Can't believe this video didn't include how to change the stock image of the homepage. Literally probably the most important part of this whole tutorial.
Agreed, i watched the video to the end but unfortunately it wasn't shown.
Wow!!! This video was much shorter than other ones I've been watching and way easier to understand. Thank you so much!!
