Note for step 3: The plugin to use with the Astra theme has been renamed. It's now called "Starter Templates - Elementor, Beaver Builder, Gutenburg etc". It's still free. If you type in Astra it will come up 😃
Thank you. I wish to have come across your tutorial sooner. It is simple and straight forward. I spent weeks and still nothing helped. People should watch your video. It took less than 10 minutes of instruction and my website looks great. For beginners, this is great!
This is soo helpful. I’ve been so confused the last couple days trying to get it all figured out and this has given a practical way to apply. Thanks so much!
This is so great it very helpful. I started a youtube channel and just closed my eyes and didnt it. Only problem is this you are offering is not month to month. The plan I pickeds was for 3 years at that amazing price. It shows close to $150.00 for the 3 years and in SA that is alot of money. Being unemployed I cannot pay once off if it was month to month then yes. But I do understand why its like this. But as soon as I'm am sorted I will take this great plan. Keep bless us with this great content♥
I am wondering how you can edit your website once it is launched, can you please do a video to show this...thanks so much! Love your videos as they are so easy to follow.
How do you use elementor on a theme for E-commerce? I keep getting an error message stating there is no content to edit with Elementor on the product page. Also, if I use a business theme template with Astra instead, then can I include a plug in later to add a "cart and checkout" option? THANKS! really appreciate your help and this video was very useful for me! :)
So, I followed step by step, got lost, and now I'm in limbo trying to fix all the mistakes. It's a good thing that Elementor has a step by step tutorial or who knows how bad off I'd be.
I want to learn Yourtube Ads because I think this is going to next biggest ads platform for local Businesses after Facebook Ads. please make tutorials of this
Hi Daragh. Really fantastic video, thank you. Do you have a recommended plugin that is capable of hosting pictures, a scheduling/calendar plugin, and some sort of secure payment plugin? Like what a fancy barber shop or salon might have? Edit: Already learning more from your videos, I meant theme, not plugin. Or if there isn't a one stop solution, a recommended starter theme with a few plugins that provide those services well.
Definitely subscribed, thank you! I have one question though, will you ever have to log into Wordpress itself (the actual website) or is all of your business going to handled through Bluehost?
Hi. Great tut. If I decided the theme does not look nice for me after I am finished how do I change to a different theme? Note: I don't mind restarting What drawbacks does this have?
To change your theme just install a new theme in your wordpress backend dashboard and activate it. You should take a backup of your website data before making theme changes.
is your world press is different from your own, I cannot locate the free design that comes with the theme after click plugin, by clicking library to select elementor to easily edit the design, to enable click free at the top to see them all. no import to the site.
i have a question if i get the basic plan and get my own domain do i need to create an website or just use the domain on my shopify store and create the website there?
@@daraghmwalsh yea true ive been doing some reasearch and for now ill have to go with the myshopify.com domain because i dont have enough money from bluehost right now but i have another question, if i buy a domain through shopify can i later transfer it to another registrar or shopify wont allow it?
Hello Daragh, I'm currently taking your digital marketing course on Udemy. I have an issue with importing demo data of the theme to my wordpress site. I've tried to do it manually, to download and activate all the required and recommended plugins for the theme, make download size big enough on the website, I also contacted bluehost support team but they couldn't identify the issue. If you have any suggestions that could help to solve this problem, I would be very appreciated! Besides this problem, I really enjoy studying your course!
I'm good at full stack html css js python and the technologies involved. But from scratch projects are too difficult to manage sometimes when I want users for the site. I guess a CMS is what im looking for since it takes care of/simplifies that. Need content on how to add custom stuff to CMS'
Hi Daragh. I have a small issue. When I try to install the free Astra Starter site I only get the Astra Widgets option. I can't figure out why as I followed your ever word to the letter. Can you please help me overcome this matter. Kind Regards!
Hi Daragh! I tried it again and all that keeps coming up is Astra Widgets. No sign of the Astra Site. It's ok,thank you anyway. My guess is the app has been removed as I tried a good number of times and I just keep getting the Astra Widget App choice. Shame! Kind Regards!
It's a temporary url that you need to change , It happened to me , go to your host website (bluehost in my case) , then my sites, settings, site url , and add the domain you bought. (watch videos here on youtube "how to change the temporary domain"
I tried to host mine but it said insufficient funds and that I have three attempts left. I had about $4 in the account. I don’t understand why because they were supposed to charge $2.95. Do you know why?
Bluehost is a hosting and domain name provider and you have to pay for hosting services to create wordpress.org website with bluehsot. WordPress.org is free CMS and bluehost will automatically install it on your hosting account.
First you need to export all data from your wordpress.com blog and then you can import that data file on your wordpress.org website hosted on bluehost. I will add a step by step video on this topic if get more similar requests. Meanwhile you can check support guides online on same topic.
You can select any plan (Basic, Plus or choice plus) from bluehost, to create website on WordPress.org you need a custom domain name and hosting account to host your website data. You will get free domain name for one year with hosting purchase with bluehost.
As I said in my previous answer - any plan. Plugins are not plan specific. You can choose any plan and you will be able to add free plugins and themes.
Hi Dhara! I am also taking your Digital Marketing course! I want to create an example website just so I can practice Wordpress. But then do I have to use Bluehost? If I pay for a hosting service can I pass that on to whoever might be maintaining and managing it later on or am I responsible for that for every client?
Daragh, I subscribed for your Udemy course on digital marketing and it needs update because it was recorded 2 years ago. Following your class on Udemy, I got confused as bluehost and WordPress had changes on their website which is why I came to UA-cam and found this lecture. It's just extra cost on my end because I am paying on 2 platforms to get 1 info. Pls update your Udemy course.
First you need to search Astra in themes and install and activate it and after that go to plugins and search for astra and install this one - wordpress.org/plugins/astra-sites/
Please I need your help. I used the link you shared to register my domain yesterday on 27th October, but I can find it and I have already made the payments already..Please can you help me out I need my registered domain link
Please login to your bluehost account and you will be able to see your domain there. If you still face any issue then best to contact bluehost support - www.bluehost.com/contact
hye! i have brought pasic plan and i selected " i'll create my domain later ". and complete the other requirements. now i want to change that free domain to the new one that i brought from bluehost. please let me know how can i chage that free pirmary to the new one .
Bluehost is the worst website host/provider. I had them for 35 days and missed the window for a refund by 5 days. I was locked into a three year contract. My simple website was down three to four times a week and customer service did not answer my questions or resolve the issue - I had to learn ways of resolving it myself. I had the middle level service where I had access to better customer support - that's not the case.

i have a question if i get the basic plan and get my own domain do i need to create an website or just use the domain on my shopify store and create the website there?
If you want to create a shopify website then best to purchase a domain and link to your shopify store, no need to buy hosting from bluehost.
@@daraghmwalsh yea true ive been doing some reasearch and for now ill have to go with the myshopify.com domain because i dont have enough money from bluehost right now but i have another question, if i buy a domain through shopify can i later transfer it to another registrar or shopify wont allow it?

Best to check your theme guides or contact your theme provider to fix this issue for you.

But from scratch projects are too difficult to manage sometimes when I want users for the site.
I guess a CMS is what im looking for since it takes care of/simplifies that.
Need content on how to add custom stuff to CMS'
You can add custom css by going to themes - customize page - additional css. To make html changes best to create a child theme.
Can I make ecommerce store with this method? And how can I add stripe?
Yes, you can. Use WooCommerce plugin to add payment method on your site.
