Video Series: WordPress fundamentals WordPress template

3.5 hours of video are now available in our support forum exclusively available to our members.

This course is aimed at those who are just starting out with WordPress and probably are not familiar with the Dashboard. While we provide written documentation for all of our themes, there are members who ask questions like “Yes, i did read the documentation and it clearly states that i have to assign XYZ template to a page, but how do i create this page and how do i assign a template to it?”

Well, now they’ll be able to setup WordPress and learn about the Dashboard in 3.5 hours!
