I can't believe this series is 10 years old. While a lot has changed in WordPress over the years the core concepts remain the same and I hope this series is helpful in your learning journey. For anyone who is curious, my recommendation for hosting your WordPress website is DreamHost and specifically their "Shared Unlimited" yearly plan (the exact plan I've used for 19 years). If you use my link to DreamHost it helps support my TH-cam channel and costs you nothing extra: click.dreamhost.com/aff_c?offer_id=109&aff_id=17231
You literally just saved me. Thank you so so much. For days I'd been scouring TH-cam for how to do exactly this and had downloaded a bunch of gibberish lasting hours that weren't giving me what I needed. But in a 7:53 minutes video, you solved my issues. 🙋🙋 As a proud Nigerian, I "tualé" for you Baba.
Sir....YOU F'N ROCK!!!! I was trying all day to do this! I moved my URL from a sub-directory to the root. I needed to solve exactly the issue you explained. Have a custom page for my home page and the blogs, news in my case, show in a different link. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you very much for posting this. I've been wracking my brain trying to figure out why a custom Wordpress Page will not display Wordpress Posts when using the loop. This makes so much sense!!
Bless you for this video. I completely screwed up my wordpress site a while back and now my custom home page replaced my blog and I didn't know enough at the time to fix it. I do now. I also signed up for your 8 hour web development course. You're one of the best teachers I've found. If you had been teaching me five years ago, I'd probably be in a much more employable position. Only too glad to take your online courses on Udemy.
I followed your entire tutorial, and i must say : you did a great job and have a natural talent for teaching. I have learned the basics of creating a theme with wordpress all thanks to you. That is why i would like to express my deep and sincere gratitude for all the lessons you gave! THANK YOU GOD BLESS YOU ^_^ Ounce i was weak( in wordpress and php), but now i have grown - opening One punch man :P
I know this is a very old video, but, what is the application that is open in the background that has a list of all the .php files (pages)? edit: You can see it at 4:24 I should also add, this is the video I have been looking for. It took me 4 days of searching to get here and fix my wordpress website. THANK YOU!
Hi, I'm glad the video helped you fix your site! That program shown is called TextMate. A long time ago it was one of the most popular text editors on Mac, and I believe if you Google for it (Macromates is the domain) it's free now. However, in 2020, no matter if you use Mac, Windows, or Linux, I recommend "Visual Studio Code" as your text editing program. It's free and amazing!
@@LearnWebCode I am using Sublime 3 now, but I will check VSC out. In that TextMate app, you had all the .php files in a list. How can I find all my .php files and have them listed like that? I have the free account at wordpress dot com and cannot find the files. The drag n drop editor drives me crazy, I just want to do it all in code. But, I cannot find the files. I even tried exporting the site, but all I got was a .xml file, no .css, no .php, nothing. THANK YOU AGAIN! I already subbed your channel and I am going to watch more of your videos today. Thanks!
Thanks for all your tutorials, very helpful. One question: When I visit a post from de Blog (with home.php template), it opened in a single.php template, the issue occurs when I press the go back button (from the web explorer) instead of returned to the Blog, always returns to the front-page.
Hi! thank you for this !!! but how can I rid off completely of the Blog section, in the google research appears "WorldPress Blog" and I want just the static page of my website! please can you help me?
Hi there! I'm new to WordPress and the world of website building. Please tell me how I can correct my header. The feature image is to the left side of the main page and there is a gap the size of another feature image from the top of the page.
Mathinez RS I use an editor named "TextMate" because old habits die hard :) I recommend a text editor named "Sublime Text" - it's still minimalistic but has amazing features!
Quick question, my reading tab doesn't show the front page option to make it a static page. What do i do? Im just really starting to learn this wordpress stuff and so i'm clueless at this point! Would love to get a response! thanks!
Is there a video where I want to make my home page with the links of other pages in the body of the home page? Currently, my links are on top of each page but I think if I delete that on my home page and replace with bigger "buttons" in the text of the body of the home page, it will look more organized and user will realize there is more information (and easier to find). I just want this on the home page and then they will figure out that the menu is on the top of each page. If so, I hope the design of my idea of "button" for each link is in the video. Thanks!
Let me be more specific with my request for you to lead me to your video series. I know I can find portions of them in the result set on the right. I was asking you if there was a centralized place I could view them in their chronological order from the very first video onwards. Thanks.
I am also a follower of this course and I have saved the entire course in my TH-cam library for later reference. The course can be found at th-cam.com/play/PLpcSpRrAaOaqMA4RdhSnnNcaqOVpX7qi5.html But be aware that it is a bit old, because the technique of WordPress has changed since. But for the basics it is still very usefull.
Hi, I have watched your videos from start to finish and it is very educational and learning experience for me. I have to keep watching it over and over again until I understand the concept of it. I am trying to learn on website development by duplicating a website for the company I am working for using different URL showing different information for education schools and teachers. How do I convert this simple website into a responsive website using all the steps you did throughout all these videos? Can you let me know. shawn
Hi there. Good video. I am a beginner and my problem of setting home page is a bit weird ! It works fine when 'Reading' menu setting is at 'Your latest Posts ', but when I set it at a 'static home page' and select any page that I made, the site does not load and this message is displayed " This page isn't working. Site redirected you too many times. Try clearing your cookies. ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS" I have tried clearing cookies as well but it does not work. Any idea Thanks
HI, hope you don´t mind but I need help, I change the reading setting to select a static home page. All Good. But after the change when viewing the site the home page is blank.. If I reset the reading setting the page is visible agene. what is wrong? Thanks
I'm trying to remove the left sidebar on a child TwentyFifteen Theme but can't find what's calling the sidebar in the page.php, function.php, or styles.css. Do you have any suggestions that could help me?
the call for sidebar is probably in the index.php file. I notice in the tutorial if you are following along he says to copy the information from the page.php but the information he places in the front-page.php actually looks similar to the index.php file...hope this helps!
Can you please make a video on how can I use category as tabs in WordPress . I create a post type and taxanomy for category and I want to use those category as tabs and under those category post will be showing .
im getting nothing, while editing front-page.php nothing is happening. and im getting website home blank. im using generatePress theme. And in the theme page.php is different .
Hi, I like your video! Can you please tell me where I can find your video series on WordPress? I want to view them starting from the very beginning. :) Thanks.
can you please add a link to the tutorial on how to create a custom page template? I've spent all day trying to find something online, and I can't. I have a third-part (free) theme installed, and I want to add a new page template.
Maybe you figured it out already. This video is part of a complete course with several videos. In part 5 he explains how to make a page template. Here is the link: th-cam.com/video/ynA8_5jAc1s/w-d-xo.html
Just came across you looking to change my home page, and after checking I am set up in the way you describe here, yet my home page is still the same as my blog page? Any suggestions?
Hello everybody, i have a problem with my new website @t . It has 3 languages using polylang, and the homepage is in English, now i want to change the homepage so that next time when ppl type my website's url into the browser they will get to the homepage by Swedish first. So i tried to set a static page as the homepage in swedish and publish, but nothing changed, after type in url and enter it's still the english homepage : @t , not as it should be @t . I also tried on plugin polylang setting, set Swedish as primary language. This change the url of swedish homepage from @t into @t , while the english homepage becomes @t. But still, when type in @t into web browser and enter, it redirects to @t , so it's still the english homepage to be shown at first visit. Any resolution please? I need my page to be in swedish everytime ppl enter my site.
Hey! I have a big issue. I have the default HOME page but is not showing in any of my pages, so I cannot add content or anything to it. It is like a ghost page but it is there. I've been using WP for years and this is the first time it happened. PLEASE HELP.
You probably figured this out already. If not, you can do so from dashboard, Appearance > Editor. Or you can directly access files using FTP programs like filezilla. Find file, download, edit, then upload.
I'm a bit lost. Contents from page.php seems to be what you worked on index.php from previous video "widgets tutorial". I doubt that I missed any of your series but my page.php looks quit different.
But i didn't create the home page in dashboard, i did directly and go to menus where i select the home page now i want to edit them but its not present here so how to edit them??
Hi, Thanks for these great tutorial videos. I have one request for you. Can you please title them along with numbers so that it is easier to follow them sequentially?
+LearnWebCode Hi. Great video but I'm not sure how you brought up the window with all the files on it. Could you tell me how? Also, is it possible to do this with a free wordpress account?
I thought that I was following the lesson until he started to edit a page dealing with Html deletions. I thought WordPress can be installed and configured without knowing codes and html page creations and manipulations.
Thank You For sharing such kind of Good videos and i will Subscribe to your channel Now.BTW do you have any video to teach us how to buy host for the website and how to configure? we highly appreciate your cooperation.
good video l like it so much because in thailand i never seen same thiis tank you so much if you come to thailand i will be give thai food for you free

One of the few WP tutorials that actually encourage messing with the coding section. extremely helpful thank you
It may be 2020 but you have shown me the possibilities of further modifying my websites home page.

Ounce i was weak( in wordpress and php), but now i have grown - opening One punch man :P
This is what i have been looking for. Thank you soo much. You make it so simple whereas others only cover what they use and want.
Exactly. They download all these plugins, confuse you with themes they like. This is simply precise

Thank you very much. I didn't know how things happened behind the page and now I have confidence to maybe change things - and follow you

You are awesome, You saved my SLR 30000/= and 4 Months of time. :)
What kind of text editor do you use? It seems rather useful for the HTML/PHP combination.
Mathinez RS I use an editor named "TextMate" because old habits die hard :) I recommend a text editor named "Sublime Text" - it's still minimalistic but has amazing features!
LearnWebCode Thanks, I'll definitely check that out.
A thumbs up to your teaching skills and programming expertise!
Your tutorial is just Awesome! Thank you for this free gift because I was looking for that.
