Thankyou for this
Love it
Thank you for taking the ti to do tNice tutorials i know I’m gonna enjoy figuring it out
I couldn't find out the website (simaya) which create in this tutorial. please, share the website link.
Hello Elementor, is there a way in this Hello-theme to adjust the looks of the 'header' (Main-menu) and add a top-bar + design your own 'sub-menu'?
Now-a-days you see these big dropdown submenu's with extra images, extra info and such...
Hi Sanders, the Header options available in the free version of Elementor with the Hello theme are more limited. Elementor Pro provides you with many more customizable options.
Hello, what was the difference ''cover'' and background?
Is there a way to use the Elementor to build pages without the Hello theme? I work for a nonprofit with a custom theme and can't change it. Thanks!
Hi Jessica, you can use another theme, but your header and footer options will be different.
thank you for the course. Why pages are not showing on the "appearance" section? They used to appear here but not any more - so I can not add them to the menu.
@user-le1yp1bj7t You should see your Pages listed in Appearance > Menus. Then make sure you have clicked on the View All tab under Pages.
There is no Elementor->Settings->Experiments. But I do have Features tabs in settings of elementor but there is no "Hello Theme Header and Footer"
Hi Faisal, are you using the Elementor Hello theme?
hi! would like to know with this setup. how do you remove a specific page button on the header or the footer of each specific page. for example i want to remove the home button from the header and footer of my main page since that's already the "Home" page afterall. other example is the contact page i dont think its logical to the contact button if you're already at the contact page.
@akkir6707 you can remove these options from your menu. From WP Admin, go to Appearance > Menus. Expand the menu item, for example, Home, and click Remove to delete it. It will no longer appear in your navigation menu.
Can you provide information on updates? for example in first lesson, there is no experiments tab, ano place to select header and footer, no menus tab, etc. Any updates courses?
Hi Design, the Experiments tab is in the same place, but it's been renamed Features. Once you have the Header and Footer enabled from there, you should be able to see the Header/Footer options.
Hello please i need help i updated the plugins and now i can't activate elemntor pro i didnt make a back up and all of my page apearnce has lost footer and header and apearance of the pages please help me
I'm starting from scratch with Elementor and straight out of the gate the 'Hello theme' is nowhere to be found! ..what now?
@ephrimvael, where are you searching for it? You can find it by going to the *WordPress admin* > *Appearance* > *Themes* . Click *Add New* and you should see the Hello theme at the top. If not, in Search Themes, type in "hello elementor" and it should pop up.
Please update your Elementor videos to reflect some verify recent changes. For instance, this one starts right off with going to \Elementor\settings\Experiments\Hello Theme Header & Footer which no longer exist, at least not there. But thank you for putting these together because the last time I had to create a website I wrote the code, procedural and not declarative.
Hi smather2175, thanks for sharing your thoughts. So much to do, so little time! But we're on it 🤩 Please make sure you're subscribed to get notified of our latest videos.
@@Elementor so what do we do with the Header & Footer?
@DuckBrosVRtheStoryWeaver if you're using the free version of Elementor, from the WordPress Admin, go to Elementor > Settings > Features, and set *Hello Theme Header & Footer* to Active. Save changes.
If you are using Elementor *Pro* and would like the Pro header and footer features, do NOT activate the Hello header and footer in Features. Instead, use the Theme Buler to edit your header and footer. See how in this course here: elemn.to/blogcourse
@@Elementor which tune did use at end of starting and end of this video? 0:00 & 5:00
Elementor "Hello" theme does not cascade from PC to Tablet to Mobile., ie hambuger drop down menu does not appear on Tablet/Mobile. How to fix? what setting? what tutorial is this discussed? Note hamburger drop down menu works on other Themes.
The option to activate the Hello Theme header and foother doens show on my "experiments" tab
Hi Darle, the Hello theme must first be installed and activated in order for it to appear in Experiments.
I can't find the theme, is there any other theme active that I can use for a starter of my project?
Hi Miguel, you can find Hello theme in the WordPress repository. wordpress.org/themes/hello-elementor.
You can use most themes together with Elementor, but we recommend Hello theme, especially if you'd like to follow along step by step with this course.
That's right. Free.
That was cute.
Do I still need to install a Hello theme ontop of my wordpress if I'm just going to install a WEB KIT?
Hi Pamela, WordPress requires a theme to be installed and activated. If you are using an Elementor Kit, the Hello theme is a great choice, because it is very lightweight and is 100% compatible with Elementor and Elementor Kits. In our Blog course, we cover using Kits. Check it out here: elemn.to/blogcourse
I'm very new to this. I just purchased the Elementor plan but I can't seem to understand how to get to the Wordpress dashboard. please help.
Hi Edie, Pro subscribers can request support from the MyElementor dashboard or from this page: my.elementor.com/cloud-support-first-step
What is the best (lightweight) Elementor theme for building a shop?
Hi Karen, Hello theme together with the free WooCommerce plugin is great for online stores. We have a course exactly on this topic: elemn.to/woocourse
Can i use the hello theme to create a church website? Just curious as to what the advantages and disadvantages are
Hey @markbenson488, thanks for your question. You can use the Hello theme to create any kind of website. The main advantages of using the Hello theme is that it is very lightweight and won't slow down your website. It also doesn't add styling to your website, so you can use Elementor to design your website without worrying about theme conflicts.
If you are using Elementor Pro, you won't need your theme to design your header, footer, blog and the rest of your site parts. However, if you are using the free version of Elementor, while you can use Hello theme to design a basic header and footer, you can not use it to design an advanced header (such as with a mega menu or specific display conditions), and you can not use the free Elementor or Hello to design your blog posts.
Is the hello theme good to use with Woocommerce?
@_Tennz absolutely! Note that you will need Elementor Pro to use the Elementor integration with WooCommerce.
Menus is also missing, so many things have changed inside of Wordpress, you should update your training.
Hello!
I do not see an option for Header and Footer under Experiments, wondering if it moved..thanks!
Hi Body, can you check to make sure you have both the Hello theme and Elementor plugin installed?
@@Elementor I have same experience .. both the Hello theme and Elementor plugin installed. I might have deleted the plugin? what plugin comes in both Hello Theme and Elementor that might be missing? Thank you in advance :)
The "appearance" option doesn't pop up on my dashboard at all, I don't know why :(
Hi Paola, we've created a thread in the Elementor Community to ask questions about the course. Posting in that thread will allow you to add screenshots, and get great advice from other web creators. Feel free to tag me there as well. Here's the link: forum.elementor.com/getting-started-7/new-course-getting-started-with-elementor-2907
The "Hello" theme no longer exists on the themes section inside of WordPress btw.
Hmm, can you check again? It's showing up as #2 for me wordpress.org/themes
I had the same issue. You have to search "Hello Elementor" and it will come up. You can't just search "hello". weird.
It does. Literally just downloaded it.
at 1:29, Header and footer is not shown under experiments. Where can I find this setting?
Don't worry, I figured it out. Hello wasn't installed on this WP site.
Glad you figured it out, Dee 😀
This is not correct I see complete other things after 1 minute, i choose the Hello theme and after that they ask me to install elementor , where is wordpress??
it seems, there is no option to remove related post from single post.
I can´t activate Hello theme header and footer, why?? I saved the settings but it´s still default...
Hi Sirpa, these kinds of things can be difficult to troubleshoot without screenshots. Have you joined the Elementor Community? It's a great place to ask questions like this, and get solid advice from other web creators. And you can share screenshots and links there as well: facebook.com/groups/Elementors.
My issue is i cant select page to add on my menu. There is a pale fade over qdd menu items. Help!!
Hey Ahmed, these kinds of things can be difficult to troubleshoot without screenshots and more information. Have you joined the Elementor Community?

The "Hello" theme is not an option for me. Is this video current?
Hi Claire, this video is current. If you go to Appearance > Themes > Add New, you should find the Hello theme there.
So far in my many hours trying to work with Elementor in Wordpress absolutely nothing works as described. If I go to Appearance/Themes, as directed, for example, there IS no 'Add new' as the video claims. There is an 'Install theme' button, where the video shows an 'Add new' but a search for Hello doesn't bring it up. Instead I'm hit up for a 'Premium Theme' option, for $180. So less than 60 seconds in, a complete fail.

hey, I am a newbie but would love to start with elementor
Hi HarshRag, welcome aboard! Have you had a chance to watch the full course yet?
"Publishing failed. The response is not a valid JSON response." Story of my life with Elementor.
How to add custom script in hello elementor pls give me solution I am unable to add google analytics script code in header not showing my script
@devsharma8737 please see this Help Center article: elementor.com/help/custom-code-pro
is hello no longer available? i can't find it
Yes, I just installed it a few days ago. Make sure you go to "Add new" section in the themes section in your WP.
Hey gabriel, it is still available. Download it here wordpress.org/themes/hello-elementor or from the WordPress repository, which you can reach from your WordPress dashboard, by going to Appearance > Themes > Add New. Then search for Hello.
where is the tab experiment in the plugin?
Hi @anisuzzamananis9243. It's now called "Features." You can find it in the same place: WordPress dashboard > Elementor > Settings > Features
why dont you explain what is "clean wp instalation"? Yet its something that you mark as "recomended" so it better be done by my I guess. I cant find no information on how to do it nor what that even is. Very good!!!
Hi Jacobo, a clean installation, is a brand new WordPress site with no added content, themes, or plugins, aside from the recommended Elementor plugin and Hello theme.
The "HELLO" theme can't be install. this is a general problem, please resolve. Thank you!
@ruleboy we've resolved the issue. Please try again.
how to know to know if a potential theme is compatible with elementor
The Hello theme is compatible. For other themes, you can check with the theme developer.
Hi , like faisal wrote before me : here is no Elementor->Settings->Experiments. But I do have Features tabs in settings of elementor but there is no "Hello Theme Header and Footer". and yes i do have Hello theme installed
so bad when you find a tutorial and it is just not the way it is explained...
Ok ...so what if i can't set header and footer from elementor .. this is going nowhere..bye
Hi Angelo, thanks for your comments. Tech products evolve quickly, and at Elementor, we are constantly updating and improving our products.
At the time of recording, this couse was accurate and true to the product. Since the course was launched nearly two years ago, there have been many updates to WordPress and Elementor, and while the look and placement of some features have changed, the core concepts are the same.
You can keep up with the latest Elementor updates by subscribing to our UA-cam channel. Best of luck.
Hello
Well I'm not happy... I have the Hrllo Theme I have Elementor Pro and when I try to follow this tutorial what I get is NOTHING like what I see in this video.
Hi Philip, some of the interface colors have changed since the release of this course, but the overall structure is the same.
What exactly are the differences you're seeing?
Ok
requires you to "Upgrade to the business plan to access the theme install features"
Hi 4ngelo, where exactly do you see that you are required to upgrade to the business plan? You can Install Hello for free, and access the basic Header and Footer for free. If you are referring to the Theme Builder, you do not need this Pro feature to build the website for this course.
I'm surprised there is nothing here about installing the Elementor plugin.
Agreed - Elementor is constantly telling me there's a 'Free' plugin but what Wordpress calls the 'Free' Elementor plugin link brings up nothing other than Wordpress demanding $180.
Hi Kazz, as mentioned in the intro lesson, having WordPress and the Elementor core (free) plugin already installed is a course prerequisite. Click this link to find out about installing the free version: my.elementor.com/welcome/auto-install OR watch this video from the timestamp if you have WordPress already installed and just need the plugin: out more here: ua-cam.com/video/9kOh39-LHFU/v-deo.html
nothing else is needed to build any type of website
"Every WordPress requires a theme" ---> Oxygen disagrees
Hi Chus, thanks for weighing in here. Every WordPress site needs to have a theme installed and activated. For this reason, we have created and always recommend the lightweight Hello theme, which was built for optimal speed and performance. You can then use Elementor to build and design every aspect of your website. Have fun creating!
Hello doesnt exist
Hi My Ztartup, you can find Hello theme in the WordPress repository. wordpress.org/themes/hello-elementor
Not worth the time invested unless you buy the "Pro" version.
Hi tart, this course uses only *free* Elementor features.
NOOOOOOB
There is no Hello Theme Header & Footer option in Experiments.
My bad...the Hello theme was not enabled
