    Can you suggest a plugin for slider? For image or just logo?

    December 14, 2022 at 10:34 pm

    Should absolute beginners learn elementor or forget about it and go straight to gutenberg. The latest WP 5.8 update seems to suggest that wordpress wants to steer users to it's built in tools like website builder. What's your insight on this ? Is elementor a sinking ship ?

  13. Dawood Hamayun

    December 14, 2022 at 10:34 pm

    Hi Paul, great video as always. Will try forminator.

    One request: Could you make a tutorial on Paid Membership Pro. I heard it works great with Elementor could you make a guide on how to edit the login/signup page build too of it as currently, we can do it with custom css only.

    Please make a full toturial how to make a news magazine website using any page builder (Elementor, Gutenberg or…) .
    I know there are lots of news based Themes, but they are all so bloated and have limited designs and have much less control compare to page builders.
    And please show how to make category, single post, author and Archive pages as well.

    Thanks

    Excellent video Paul. I would like to ask you, what is your personal opinion about Yoast Seo premium?

  23. mirzayan hossain

    December 14, 2022 at 10:34 pm

    Hi Paul, awesome video. I am wondering about vivid pro. I also have purchased it. But I had some trouble with it. For instance, I realized that you couldnt use a % sign in the password when using a sftp server as ur remote backup. In other cases I tried to restore or migrate customer sites and failed. Therefore, I am wondering if you or others have experienced same?

  27. James Davis

    Excellent video.

    Thanks Paul for sharing this info with us.

    December 14, 2022 at 10:34 pm

    Luv Blocksy (Pro here)! So Paul you prefer SEOPress over Yoast and RankMath? Happy Forms (Pro) is my fav for style flexibility but it’s not 100% reliable so I’ll checkout the one you recommend

  30. David Walls

    December 14, 2022 at 10:34 pm

    Paul, I wish I could give this video a "two thumbs up". This was one VERY helpful overall list of recommendations. I would love to see a complete build with all of these options. Take care.

    Hey Paul, I’ve been following your channel for years . As of late you’ve really upped your game. Your color and depth of field are noticeably improved. And love how you show thumbnails of related videos. I’m also glad you are still recommending Elementor. You are a WP Rockstar!

  33. meh.

    December 14, 2022 at 10:34 pm

    Thanks a lot Paul for this Video.
    A really great compilation!

    this is a very well made video, thanks.

  38. Amine Unshakable

    December 14, 2022 at 10:34 pm

    Wow… This video is packed with lots of good stuff. If Blocksy has made it to the top list and is one of the best theme for 2021, this video in itself is one of the top that has everything you need to start a journey in WordPress world at zero cost at least. Incredible recommendation that worth testing or start with. I was looking at a good security plugins and in to day video I think I found one or 2…. Thank you Paul

    & if these kind of video takes longer than expected it is worth it … quality over quantity
