Thank You very much. For those who just try to build first WordPress blog - this tutorial is just everything you need to build your website from zero. I would also suggest installing some "Under construction" solution, so nobody could reach your website when you are working on it (I have migrated from Blogger, so it was essential for me to pause the audience). Again, thank you 🤟

A great video, I appreciate the detail you give along with the explanations of how things work so that we have the freedom to make adjustments to our taste, rather than some videos that are so prescriptive you cannot adapt. However, I do have a question on how to improve an aesthetic - your dummy posts are identical and so they are aligned for length. However in reality headlines may be single, double, triple length line and that misaligns everything so it looks messy. I know I could CSS code this to limit the headline and text length, but not sure how to and instead am having to word count the headlines to be the same number of lines. Be handy if this was considered - ie make dummy posts of varying length and show how to align it in a more pleasing way

Great tutorial. I had problems with the Mailchimp section because I am using a different theme from Astra which did not have the Mailchimp plug-in, so I added it and then I had to subscribe to Mailchimp and edit the form in WP which is complicated. I can see that in your theme there is a plugin that I guess does not require signing up for Mailchimp. Is there any way to do that in the Astra theme, because I can't edit the mailchimp sign-up form in Elementor, so it looks crappy. Thanks again!

Excellent Video Tutorial. I do have a serious question? Hoping, you might be able to assist. At "Blog Page" and "Post Page" video clips, when I try to include that on my website, (Hosted as well as WAMP) the TPS Grid shows quite narrow, not as full size as you show in your video. e.g. Your video shows 100% representation of Posts the way it should look. In my case in both instances, it shows probably 65%-70% (narrow by almost 30%). Secondly, the icon arrow symbol looks normal in your video tutorial. The way it should look like. If I chose the same icon from the icon library you show, the arrow is much large and looks ugly on the next line. I have closely followed the same settings step-by-step as you explain in your videos. I am also a paid Pro Subscriber of Elemental Pro. This means I have all the Tools Plus More officially licensed by the individual developers' team. For this reason, I stopped watching your video, because it does not create the same Blog Posts view as you show on your videos. I thought it might me my valued Hosting Provider, but it is the same effect in WAMP Server or any other Browser I use. Do not get me wrong. This is a BEST Tutorial you have packaged together. I love it, but why does it not work for me, when I follow the exact step-by-step as your video shows. Your Blog video is almost the same as www.marketbeat.com (US Website).

Is there any way to remove that sentence (also considering it will always show zero comments)? Thanks!
