Great video mate, get some water around the 40 mins mark.
I am at your 11 minutes and 2 seconds point. I have astra installed and activated but there is no get started button. What should I do?
Hi there!!
I’ve had someone “help” me move over my blog and domain to siteground and I have the astra plugin active but my screen doesn’t look anything like yours. I don’t have a library to chose from.
My dashboard displays “elementor overview” and that’s it 😅
Are you able to give me some direction?
Great tutorial, very useful and a real time saver. Perfect pace and you've got a great voice as well! Many thanks!
Thank you so much for your excellent teaching skills, I just finish creating my first website!! Yay!
Why price different, mine shows $9.99 for GrowBig and your $5.99 GrowBig?
I am loving this tutorial but I don't have a "get started" button after I activate astra (or any theme) and I don't have any option with Elementor in there just the option to customize…has something changed since this video?
Hi Alex.I am new to website designer.My client wants me to do a website for him using wordpress,elementor theme and siteground.can you help me here .I dont know where to start?
All well and good until I got to 'edit footer' part. The footer option does not drop down so I can't actually edit the footer. Any suggestions?
hello can't get started!! i've downloaded Astra and installed it, but i don' get the screen where i can choose the builder, so i installed Elementor but i don't know ho to connect the two together , I'm running wp locally on my Mac with MAMP…
any clues please!?
Hi! I really like your tutorial. I however had already attempted to install different things and it looks like I messed things up. Is there a way of going back to scratch so that I can just follow your tutorial through?
When I click to go to my site its does not open the shown page which is at https://youtu.be/wK5aI0l3NZQ?t=483
Great presentation Alex! You are an excellent teacher and obviously know your content.
thanks for giving so much
Hello! I'm really struggling to increase the font size in the header menu. Any advice please?!
Super helpful and easy to follow tutorial. Thanks so much for your efforts.
Thank you for making this! When I search for Astra in themes, it says no themes found? Do I need to install it differently now? Thank you!
Thank you!! This is so helpful!
Great content, I will use your refferal link for site ground now..you desrve it! Guys please support this channel! This info is priceless
Hi Alex great intro to video…look forward to watching this!
I have the elementor plugin activated why doesn't it show up ? (edit with elementor) 13:18
This saved me so much time – thank you!
This tutorial is the best, thanks!
hellon I have the website on my localhostn I don't know how to put it in the wordpress with the siteground
Mate this is the most awesome vid to build a website I have seen. Finally someone has provided a way to help me understand how to go about it and moving between dashboard and elementor which I never could ‘get’. I’ll be subscribing and having a look at your other vids. You are a great teacher. Thanks mate from Australia.
nothing about firewall.
Excellent tutorial! Thanks so much.
its free or not
Please help I just made a blog and I’m really overwhelmed! For whatever reason the artist theme that I picked is still there even though I deleted it! I’m now using matcha but for some reason the format looks the same and the artist theme that they had me pick in the beginning is still there even though I though I deleted it! I think my mistake was instead of clicking exit like you were talking about in the video at 9:12 I clicked artist and picked a theme! I saw you clicked exit is there any way you can help me delete the artist format I don’t like it! I like the matcha format! Thank you any help would be great 👍
nice one
ALEX U R GREAT!!
