    Bluehost has changed their site just enough when it comes to accessing templates the Site Building Options that your video is no longer a direct walk-through. If you could update this, it would be helpful. Otherwise thank you! so much I didn't know before and was getting frustrated.

    I'm not sure if I'm using Astra right, in order to get to it I had to hit appearance >themes>astra options, then on the right of the page was the "see library" link, where it adverties 180+ starter templates. But it seems like for every thing I searched nothing was available or there was few options. Coffee 5 options, Flowers (no results), cat themes, no results, sunflowers nothing. It seemed like basic things weren't available in the starter templates. Even the same thing when going to the actual website. Looked for cooking only two templates came up one was premium. It seems odd.

    Instead of the "Get Started" button under Astra, I'm just getting a text-box with the HTML code for the button. I can't proceed...
    Update: Now I'm not seeing anything beneath Astra where the button should be at about 13:27 in your video. I cannot access the Astra templates within WordPress the way you have here.

    Okay you are awesome ! But I am a super newbie and I was able to follow you up until 15:01. I am editing on an iPad. I’m now sure is this makes a difference or not but when I click on the astra starter template and I pick the free one I want it takes me to a completely new page and out of word press so I can’t download that particular one as you did. Does it only work with pcs? Thank you in advance!

    Changing the wordpress url threw off my site. Im kind of mad that you casually instructed me to change that, resulting in me being locked out of the wordpress site unable to change it back easily.
    Seems to be common issue though, is fixed by manually changing the php settings on your websiteproviders site. For anyone with the same Problem, webdev maestros video helped me fix it pretty fast.

Even with the "log in to WordPress" button on Bluehost I just get a blank page in my browser. Is this a common problem, hopefully with an easy fix?
