What is up everybody? Welcome into this new video Techpress. My name is Steven and I'm going to be
0:03
showing you how to create an actual blog into WordPress but we're going to be using an actual
0:08
plugin called Elementor. If you haven't used Elementor yet, let's just get started. This is
0:14
really important to notice that you must have an active plan in order to download plugins
0:19
in your actual website. So with that being said, now that you have an actual active website into
0:23
WordPress, let's continue with downloading the actual plugin. If you focus into your dashboard
0:28
you want to go into the left part that says plugins. I'm going to hit now it says plugins
0:33
and this one should be taking us into the plugins that we just added automatically
0:37
Or I wanted to go directly into add new since we don't have the actual, I'm going to go into
0:44
search plugins and I'm going to go for Elementor like this. This is an actual keyword and it should
0:50
be appearing in here, my actual keyword. As you can see here, it is Elementor website builder
0:54
more than just a page builder. So what I want to do is to go into install now and there we go
1:02
So after you hit into install, what you wanted to do is to go back into your installs plugins
1:07
so you can head into activate the one that you could just download. So I'm going to hit into
1:12
activate and this one should be sending us into Elementor section. So you're here
1:18
let's set things up. Let's go for create my account and this one is going to be popping
1:23
up this new section where we needed to actually create a website. I mean, my account, I'm going to
1:28
hit into my email as well as a passcode. I'm going to hit now into create my account. It's nothing
1:34
that bad, that's different. I'm going to just connect my site from the Pantheon here and Elementor
1:40
into my actual website. And as you can see, we are actually good to go. Let's go into continue
1:45
with hello theme. Now what I wanted to do is to give a site name since we're making some blogs
1:52
I decided to import something called just blogs. I'm going to hit now into next and here this is
1:58
totally optional. You can import your custom brand logo if you wanted to. If you don't, that's
2:04
totally okay. But in my case, I wanted to import it and then later on I wanted to just give it a
2:09
title then later and hit now into select. So here it is. Now I'm going to go into next and lastly
2:18
it's going to be asking to edit a blank canvas with the Elementor editor or to browse from 100
2:24
templates or we can import our own. What I can totally just do is to create one based on a
2:30
template that was already been created for the Elementor. So if I focus into lift pod, let's go
2:38
for blocked or magazine section. And as you can see, we do have a bunch of elements that we can
2:44
use, but I must tell you that you wanted to check it out here into the upper side that this one says
2:52
pro. So go pro, go pro, view demo, go pro. What you wanted to do is to look out for an actual
3:00
plan that says free. So if there's actually nothing that we can use totally for free, you can
3:06
just delete this category and choose the one that you can maybe use later on for editing your
3:14
actual blog. For example, I wanted to use the ones in ceramic studio. You don't want to focus a lot
3:19
into what is inside it. The elements, the photos, the description is what to focus into the elements
3:26
that are inside your actual template. So you don't have to worry about it. Let's see, for example
3:32
that I kind of like this one, the child caring or the eco-friendly. Well, let's go for this one
3:37
and let me hit into view the demo. So this would be taking us into the overview of how it's going
3:42
to be looking our actual blog. So we do have here into the template, the home about us, our
3:48
programs, activities, context us, watch your child grow. This one has a few elements that we can use
3:55
for free. We have animations, actually it looks really, really great. So if you liked it, you
4:01
wanted to go into apply kit, apply all, and my kit is now being setting up into my actual account
4:10
So I'm going to hit now into enable, setting up your kit, just wait a few seconds there
4:17
And there you go. So your kit is now live on your site. I'm going to hit into see it live
4:22
And this one should be taking me into the Pantheon, into my actual website that was generated
4:26
for the WordPress. So all of the elements that I have created with the element or are not going to
4:32
be imported inside my actual website. So what is left to be done is to close this or I'm going to
4:39
just go with click here to learn more about my kits. And this is how I'm going to be importing
4:45
my actual site setting. So what I wanted to do now is to go back. I'm going to close this tab
4:53
and I'm going to head down into elements or now inside elements or what I wanted to do is to look
5:00
out for the actual website that we can just generate it. If you don't find that there
5:05
you can go directly into pages and inside pages, you can see that we can have, we do have a lot
5:12
but truly, truly a lot of elements that was generated and automatically added from element
5:16
or. So if I go back into WordPress, let's see, for example, that I wanted to get started by
5:20
editing the home section, the front page and all that. So if you go into pages
5:24
let's go into the home section and hit into edit with elements or. So this one should be now
5:30
popping up once again, the editor, but not from WordPress, but directly from elements or this is
5:37
really important. If you wanted to get started by editing tools and stuff that was only generated
5:42
by and for the actual, in my case, elements or let's go for continue. I wanted to hit into
5:50
activate container. This is totally optional for you guys. I'm going to go back here and I'll check
5:55
it out here. As you can see, I do have all of my elements. I do love the colors, but then later
6:00
on, I think that what I can do to start to make this a little bit more like myself is to edit
6:07
my actual title. So here, what's your child grow in five. Let's go with why start by editing
6:15
You're going to learn what are the best tools for your WordPress
6:24
in the 2023. Now it says, find a program. I wanted to choose this button and instead of going with
6:33
funny program, let's go with dive in. I liked it. And now here I'm going to click into this image
6:40
and I'm going to hit into choose image. And now as you can see, this is the media library that
6:45
was generated for us. So what I wanted to do is to insert a new media, or you can insert this
6:51
from a URL. If I open a new tab, let's see, for example, that I wanted to look out for WordPress
6:57
and to Google, I'm going to hit now into images. And I'm going to look for a website or an image
7:04
that looks really great. For example, let's say that I wanted to look for this one
7:09
If it has like a really great of his illusion, what is left to be done is just to choose it
7:15
Let's see, for example, this image and I'm going to copy the image address and I'm going to paste
7:22
that inside the editor section. So I'm going to just close this because I don't want to confuse
7:28
myself. There we go. And here have the alternative text captions and the aligned. Let's go for the
7:34
into the center and insert to the post. So as you can see, it is looking now great. So now I just
7:41
need to scroll a little bit down and start editing my staff instead of rainbow daycare
7:46
Let's go with Elementor. I'm going to look out for new images. And there we go. So as you can
7:53
see, guys, it is not that hard to start using an actual blog section here into Elementor
7:59
So I do have lots and lots of stuff that I can use into Elementor. It is not necessary to look
8:05
out for a specific category. So with that being said, guys, hopefully it was a very useful
8:10
