  1. hey Alex!
    First of all thank you very much for all your videos about wordpress your videos are really changing my life because are help me a lot 🙂

    but i'm having some problems… i could not get local host because i'm getting some errors i've tried install wamp, xamp, bitinami and none worked i think i't is my computer… in the last 5 videos of this series until now i was using 000webhosting to run wordpress… but it is very very very slow and sometime downs….

    you've told about https://seedup.io/ on part 5 but the website is down now… i would like to you tell me an good alternative to run wordpress enviroment without local host…

    thank very much again :)

  2. Hello, your tutorials are great but I need to know how do you create a function where the user can change the image? Not a featured image I got the hang of that.

  3. Is there a way to get custom styling without bootstrap? I don't want all the fluff/extra code in the custom themes I'm creating.

  4. hello! thank you for your videos! I have a question, I don't know why when clicking on the post, in min 55:00 I get on inspection <body class="error404 logged-in… do you have an idea? thank you!

  5. Tip: When displaying post thumbnail, alternatively, you could use: <div class="thumbnail-img"><?php the_post_thumbnail( 'full', array( 'class' => 'img-responsive' ) ); ?></div>

    The array argument takes a class attribute with a value img-responsive which is a built-in bootstrap class. Good luck.

  6. Hey, not sure if I did anything wrong, but my title is not redirecting me to the blog's page to view the content of the blog. There is a link, but when i clicked on it, it will load the link/url, but the display is the same as my index page(which is my home page now, I did not do those page-aboutme, and stuff because I don't need those), any ideas what might be going wrong?

  7. Hello , I am following Your Instruction on this video but my theme is doesn't get bootstrap look. there is no change in the theme after adding bootstrap to it. so any help why i didn't get it. Thx in advance.

  8. Thank you so much, I just have small problem, when I include css or js version other than 0.1 in the functions.php file I got "Internal Server Error" on my page, so I have to keep it 0.1 version to not have error, can you explain that please, and many thanks again for this tutorial, it is really helped me a lot with my work

  9. Hi Alessandro, I have a problem on integrating bootstrap to my wordpress, I dont know what wrong but the error console is poing to bootstrap file. I just followed all your instrunctions.

    err: Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token {

    I didnt edit the bootstrap files.

  10. the one with the post format like image/aside is not clickable? is that how its supposed to be?

  11. Hi. I have another question.
    I added bootstrap, and followed your instructions, but for some reason it seems like the date information and the 'category' also are being linked to the post's page.
    That, and it also looks weird.

    I tried to put the 'posted on' and 'category' outside the <header>. Doing this, the post looked normal again, but the text was still linked back to the post's page.

    This is how it looks:

    Any idea about why it is like this – any suggestions to fix it?

  12. hi, I'm watching your tutorial right from the first, and now I'm stuck in this video when I copying bootstraps, and putting the nav's menu. My menus not changing by the bootstrap theme, I already following your code exactly. what could be wrong? Thx b4

  13. This tutorial is so fucked up.
    You should've done two tutorials with the same logic.
    The first one this Live session with Q&A's and the second one the same with just not live. just a normal tutorial so who want can watch the live who doesn't want can watch the other one(not live)

  14. hey Ale, come si puo fare un contenitore su wordpress con una imagine, con testo sopra la imagine, e comunque responsive?
