Hello my friends,i Can make a professional WordPress just for 90$
Thanks for the nice web hosting knowledge! Ive examined DreamHost and Hostinger, however Cloudways with TST20 coupon is the budget-friendly alternative.
WPX= $ 498.56 a year 15 websites 30BG Storage HOSTINGER= $ 119.00 a year 100 Websites 200GB Storage……..Adam, I agree with you 99.9% of the time but in this one, ?? lol, I cant, lol… And yes, I know WPX is "optimized" etc, etc, etc, but the price for me doesn't cut it.. And yes we know you probably get a higher commission!! $$$ from WPX and so forth, we are aware of that.
With WPX, is there a rate increase on renewal?

Hey, How do I edit my blogpost in wordpress editor so that it looks good on a mobile screen?
Thank you Adam for providing such a value. Because of you, I finally decided to setup a site and start rolling, been waiting ages for quality, straight to the point content like yours, The keyword research tool is a bit expensive when just starting out, and I have no cash flow generated yet, do you have any free or cheaper alternative to recommend to start with ? Thanks in advance 🙂
I’m confused. Did you say you can add plug-ins on the free site? It’s late and I’ve been working for hours, so I may have missed something….but I’m on the premium plan and it doesn’t allow me to use plug-ins unless I upgrade to the business plan. Am I doing something wrong?
your thumbnail is hideous, I thought it was a horror video
Thanks for this WP Theme tutorial attempt. Unfortunately, this theme took alot of customizing that wasn't intuitive for my blog's branding and content. Spent days just adjusting the colors for links, menus, etc for accessibility requirements, and find plugins for accessibility. Also, took a while to adjust the footer for adding disclaimer text as formatting the footer wasn't intuitive either, esp where to place the widgets to position properly. Had to find alot more plugins and manually set up for auto-insert FTC compliance affiliate and other disclaimers for each blog post, image alt-text, and one for website cookie banner compliance for tracking, etc. Also, required privacy policy, TOS, & disclosure/disclaimer pages to link in footer was not noted in this tutorial, which is crucial considering possible FTC non-compliance, headaches, fines, lawsuits, etc. ADA lawyers for accessibility compliance are also targeting bloggers/website owners for non-compliance lawsuits, so please make note of these additionally required adjustments in building any WP site. It takes ALOT longer than this video length to manually complete all these tasks before launching a blog. A much simpler/minimalist WP theme would have saved me days of manual adjustments against the baked-in styling of this WP theme, replacing all the bloat images/text, replacing the nav menu text and hierarchy, etc.
Hey Adam, this information is invaluable, thank you! Do you have indepth step by step info on all of the WordPress settings/plug ins you use in your BGE course? Thanks again!
is it jsut me or my wordpress not layed out like that at all? nothing loads and seems difficult to change anything…any ideas?
I used a theme where it comes with theme page pictures. I deleted the picture that come with the theme and I put my own featured image . But it's not showing!. What can I do to show the featured image? Can you please help me?
Hello Adam, I just decided to reach out, leaving this comment to let you know that I was recently watching the free masterclass that you provided, but a couple minutes into the presentation, it frose up and stopped playing for some reason.
I don't really know what might have caused the video to stop playing, but I had to let you know. I therefore hope the problem gets fixed.
Thank you! I learned a lot today
adam did you not tell us to choose our niche based on US and not based on the market?
you said in the video that you should search a profitable niche but on the masterclass said that we choose our niche based on US and our passion/expertise.
Appreciate your videos!
Great source of information and advice for those just starting out in web development.
Anyone else having a hard time editing Kadence blocks? Is he using an advance Kadence block?
WPX is awesome. Their tech support are quick to respond, respectful, communicative, and make sure you resolve your issue QUICKLY!
ahrefs is no longer free and is now behind a paywall starting out as a beginner.
Appreciate the quality of your work, but I find the speed of your speech and the rate of your delivery sometimes overwhelming, particularly when you are on the technical stuff. Slow down and do less, would be my preference. Then you are a great educator! Hope you don't mind mind the comment.
If I do my hair like yours, will it help me make millions? 😂
Do we have to have a business plan on WordPress to add plugins?
Awesome
The real deals are for paid students…..this is only an insight.
New subscriber here! I am learning a lot. Big thanks to your content!
Solid, solid content my friend!
Thank you I had installed the plugins and there very good I appreciated
Should you put this on you tube?
video-thumbnail of the year 😱
Hey Adam, I'm signed up to BGE and up to P5. Wish this video was in it. Instead Colin just whizzes through it and then says go figure it out…set it all up yourself. As a total beginner, would appreciate this video (with added content as I did pay +£1000) to hand hold through the early stages of the process. Really love your videos, you're doing such a great job!
This video is a great example of how to do things right, I will definitely be following your advice.
Amen for this video – clearest wp guide for beginners I've found.
Wow! I've been doing WordPress for 15 years and I still learned something today, thanks Adam
Thank Adam, quick question, can I use Kadence with Elementor?
What if one’s name isn’t available as a domain? Are you suggesting too that this website can be used for affiliate marketing for many different niches or just one? Thanks
Very good work!

Adam, I loved watching this video – it was very informative. I have had issues with WP and was so happy to find you giving a tutorial on how to use it. However, when I started to build my WP site, all of your suggested plug-ins required a "Business Plan" for WP. Perhaps this could have been something that you explained first up. I am starting with zero dollars in this venture, so was disappointed when trying to follow along, that I needed the more expensive plan for WP.
Nice video I really learnt alot. I have a question about ahrefs is this tool free?
You posted this at the perfect time for me ❤
