For this tutorial, we will be using Bluehost and you can use our affiliate/referral link for a discount below:
https://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/bluehost/
The video will go through the different steps in purchasing and getting BlueHost set up. The only addon that you may want to consider would be the privacy addon, otherwise, we do not recommend the other addons as they can be replaced with WordPress plugins.
Once your purchase is complete, BlueHost should install WordPress for you or walk you through the installation process for the settings that you would like to have on creation. After that, you would want to log into the WordPress site to start editing.
To remove any excess clutter we will be disabling all plugins except MonsterInsights(gives you Analytics), WPForms(allows you to create contact forms), and OptinMonster. For the others, we will click the checkbox and in the dropdown options, we will select deactivate, apply, and then repeat that process for deleting the plugins.
For the design of your site, you would want to go under Appearance, Themes, and choose the theme you would like, for this tutorial we have purchased and are using the Astra theme. You can find that theme using our referral/affiliate link below:
https://www.wpbeginner.com/refer/astra-wordpress-theme/
After the base design of the site is set up or you have a template added, we will want to fix the URLs on your site so they are human-readable. To do this we will go under Settings, Permalinks and update the permalinks to a different version. We prefer the post name default option.
The video will go through the different customization options available and different ways you can customize your site. If you use a different theme then your options may be different than what is shown in the video for appearance.
The general settings, as well as available plugins, should not change based on the theme you are using.
We also walk you through setting up a contact form with WPForms, connecting your site to Google Analytics using Monster Insights, and a nice tip for creating personalized landing pages using SeedProd.

With best regards,
Hello. We have a site that was built in 2015. It is super slow but we don't know what we can remove safely since we no longer have access to the web designer. Is there a list or site that shows us which plugins can be deleted now that WordPress has had many updates which may include features which make some older plugins unnecessary?
Can you input a webpage that has already been set up in visual studio within GoDaddy? We want to get rid of visual studio and use WordPress
Hi, great tutorial but I'm a little stuck. I'm a complete beginner to WP and following the tutorial exactly as a test run. Changing the "Take Action" button via the Primary Menu and I don't seem to have an option here to remove the button? Am I missing a plugin?
Great tutorial..very short and to the point for beginners
Great Tutorial……Wow
Just found your video tutorials! I just started my website in WordPress so you tutorials are valuable and very helpful! I did have a question about posting portfolio projects on a WP site. I'm a freelance writer and want to post my writing samples. Do I need a plug-in or can I just create a separate page for each project and link back? If you have a video on this and I missed it in the search, please let me know. Thanks again for posting these much needed videos!
Far too many online tutorials are too hard to understand and I'm NOT talking about learning code either. Some videos about how to build a website with their wellknown websites talk far too fast and with far too much information to take it in while watching their half hour or often much longer videos and then when the videos finally finish you are exhausted and can only remember a handful of what they said.
BUT…….
Christina from WPBeginner Tutorials really explained everything and demo'd her site as she went and I really started to understand it all
Thank you Christina (I hope I spelled your name correctly) ??
I look forward to viewing some or all of your other videos
I have subscribed and "Liked" your video too
Best regards
Glen Fiddich 😁👍
Very Helpful Thanks 🙂
I don't understand the "install wordpress" step. I got my domain name through google domains and then connected it to my WP site though my account. I never had to install wordpress anywhere, I just log onto the wordpress site and edit my site from there. But I don't have have the "dashboard" tab or have the ability to install plugins. It says I need to upgrade to a business account. How can I work around this so I can get these features in the tutorial?
What's the difference between and theme and a template? How do they relate to eachother?
Awesome Tutorial!
Great tutorial. Unfortunately, Bluehost has gone downhill. I recommend Siteground.
I've always wondered how you look like.. been a huge fan for years.. 😄
Hi I am begginer , from which playlist can I start learning wordpress ??
thank you for this video, very comprehensive.
Very Nice Tutorial
Best tutorial ever…you teach like top class……🔥🔥👌👌
I’m confused, blue host and WordPress are the same?
great!!
Great video, thank you! In 'How to customize a wordpress page' I don't see the side bar that comes up on the left of the page where you can easily change image size etc. Do you know why this might be?
Your video is Great,,, but my theme can not be imported,,,,,
Displaly issue 'import process interuped'
Yh kasy hal ho ga kia ap bata sakty hn koi bi theme import nai ho rha plugins ho rhy hb
Wish I would've found these when I self taught myself word press months ago -_-
I had a few questions:
1. If I already have a theme I've been using from the "Theme" tab, can I make a switch over to one of the starter templates AND still retain all my content? I've got about 6-7 posts filled with text and pictures.
2. How do I configure my posts to automatically go to different pages? For example, if I write a post about subject X, I want to go to page X, but if I write a post about subject Y, I want it to go to page Y?
3. Why is it when I go to menus and add Posts to my menu and put it as a sub item under a page, it doesn't appear when I go and click on that page? I vested a post under a page in my menu section but it doesn't populate when I go to the page. My work around has been using shortcodes but I really want to get away from that, it doesn't look as professional.
Thanks in advance!

Hi, I like watching your tutorials! They are very helpful. 😊
Can you please advise how I can edit the text/description after I have downloaded the rara theme template? I could not do it like yours as there is no pencil icon.
Which version of wordpress is been used .com or .org
Hi, i have a Plugin called Detrytus, a window cleaning quote generator, i am having trouble opening it to make adjustments, does anyone have an idea how too>. Thank you in advance
I cannot thank you enough for this tutorial. I’m an engineer and knows coding but OMG it is so confusing when I first started with WordPress and I just couldn’t understand why none of the themes look the way they are after installation. I even attended WP’s live webnair and it was quite useless to be honest. This tutorial is however for the beginner beginners and you really cover all the very fundamentals in a very easy to understand language . Thank you again Christina! 💕
Why does my wordpress have little differences than yours? Yours looks more conveinent and has more options. You have the premium package?
Thank you for the detailed tutorials! I have setup my website by watching this video. At 31:15, which menu did you click so that you land on that Outdoor Adventure page?
Hi, I have started on 1 of the starter templates and the images below the menu keeps getting pushed up. This overcrowds the logo and the menu on top. Could you please advise what I can do?
This is a great tutorial, but somehow I got lost and messed up. What do I do?
Excellent tutorial!
Perfect. Thank you. I love how you present the information in a straight-forward way.
This was very helpful. Thank you.
Yet another "tutorial" of how to not make your own site but to customize someone else's template
Help! The pencil edit icon when trying to edit the header or footer, is not allowing me to click. Nor is the menu dropping down. Please help!
Very good thank you! Now off to my all nighter making the page for my wife 😉
Very informative but I have one question. My website is specialized (and ecommerce). I found a theme but I can't find a template that will work. Is there a way to change the existing photo's that are on the header, etc. on a template?
Another excellent video!! Thanks so much!! I notice you use a lot of plugins. Can that slow down your site and are you more vulnerable because of the added plugins? Thanks again!!!😀
if we choose the plus option, can we make multiple websites with different domain names or does it stay linked to the original domain?
I see you have three tutorials like this, one dated 2019, the next 2020, and the last 2021. Unknowingly, I started watching the oldest one but after a doubt I had, I entered the channel and found there was yet another version, the one for 2019 and later, browsing through the channel, I found this other version. Naturally, I am taking this last version as the most appropriate for a newbie to learn how to set up a WordPress site.
Is it any good to watch the other two versions or should I stick to just this one to get what it takes about setting up a WordPress website?
Congratulations! It’s very beautiful and convenient to have the whole tutorial split in its component parts with time stamps, so that we can easily review those tracks that we find difficult to understand. Thank you so much!
Hi there, thank you for this thorough video. I added a Blog page to my menu but I can't seem to figure out how to add a transparent header. I would appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!
Thank you! 🙏🙏🙏
