Hi, I was going through your instruction on how to install WP, enrol on hostgator with your token tried install WP for free it would not allow me to install WP the install button is grade out no option given. as per you instruction there is no software and services on my control panel . My control panel only has software loaded quick install but can’t load WP please advise. By the way I am trying this from UK is the UK template on hostgator differs from State?

  17. Hi great video!! So I was using the Sydney Theme for about 2 weeks, I upgraded something, I think the toolbar, everything disappeared, so I went back to the previous version, and everything came back, however my home page images aren’t responsive, they get smaller when you go to a table or mobile. So I was hoping the child theme would fix it, however it won’t install. Now my plan is to uninstall Sydney, and reinstall, both child theme and Sydney, but I’m afraid everything will get screwed up? Please help. I’m also thinking of using another theme, if I can’t figure out how to get this theme to be responsive to mobil and tablet?

  18. Hi , I have a question ,I found theme in WordPress called Simple Shop what,I think would be great for my product ,Is this theme good to start e commerce don’t using pro version .And I tried to take of copyright made by woocomerce but I cannot even in editor .Please help!

  19. Thank you so much for the tutorial. This is so professional and people should be paying a loads of money for services like this.

  20. Does the home page photo,have to be a certain size, because mine is not responsive at all! Both images get resized to a smaller photo, making it disappear, need some help, please!

  21. I am having a problem getting the Contact 7 Form to work properly. I input the CSS code and everything seems to check out with the tutorial, but when I send a test message using the fill in contact boxes it doesn’t work. The green box pops up saying “your email was sent” but it never arrives. Researching on-line seems like maybe it’s the plugin? How can I fix this?

  22. best video ever!!!! please nyc i sent you an email i want to really get this list building stuff

  23. Are there any extra files to download such as pictures, etc. for the website. If there are, where can I find them?
