43:23 Transparent Header is now located in a new Astra tab to the right of your gear button, look to the right and there will be an Astra logo, it will open the same settings that our narrator/teacher had.

Those 2 hours that you recorded, was literally more valuable than one semester of my web dev courses at university. Thank you, Tyler!

[erichweingartner]

Absolutely fabulous. I struggled for weeks trying to make sense of written instructions and getting increasingly confused and frustrated. Even though I'm a 78-year-old geriatric, I found it easy to learn by watching, pausing, trying, repeating, backing up, re-watching, copying every move over and over until I got it right. Masterfully done! A big thanks.

I was literally scared of word press until this video. Please give the guy in the video, the video editors, creators, the team, all a well deserved bonus! I can only imagine the behind the scenes to create a video as simple, detailed, and informative as this. Thank you! To all of you <3 God bless!

After 5 years of struggling with designing websites professionally, I finally come to the right place to build my first website. Well presented. Thank you very much Tyler.

[offgridhomesteaders]

Whenever I am stuck on a WordPress problem, I always come back to your tutorials. You are amazing

[friendlystranger]

I have been stranded for almost three months paying for hosting without even having a proper website . But here I found something that I need I wish I could subscribe 1000 times . I love you Tyler I really do. Thank you so much

[resshadow]

Never would I have imagined that I would find such a detailed, but precise course free on youTube. Thank you very much. You're an awesome person!

[robertomartirena]

It's is not very common to find an expert like Tyler on YouTube. His knowledge about WordPress and the clarity with which he explains concepts not always simple is really outstanding.

[twirrybird]

Never in my life did I imagine I'd be able to create a website. Thank you Tyler 🙏🇰🇪

[CecilDSouza]

Just the first 5 minutes told me what I was in for. Not a single note of hesitation or slur. And 70 goifs thought they could do better?. Thank you Tyler for your help and effort to educate us for free.

[hlayisaninkuna]

Never seen a more relevant and appropriately laid out step-by-step, explained and demonstrated generously, sharing years of expertise. Amazing!

[doctorlamifofana-kamara]

I find this tutorial easy to follow and very engaging. For months now, I searched the web for tutorials on website design that actually teach the process how to own the website building and design process, your tutorial does it for me. Thank you very much!!!

[ValerioAZ]

This is public service! Thank you for all the effort you put into your videos and for sharing it for free with us. The content itself, the way you explain things, the video quality, the little details as timestamping everything... it is superb!

[Bandraxx]

[jayeshvyaasa]

This guy is a legend for 2 reasons :
1- He explains everything so clearly
2- liking and respond to the newest comments.

Thank man, god bless you.

[meshamcmiller]

I watch your videos every year just to stay current on the basics of WordPress. Thank you for making such informative videos. I help people create a web presence everyday but I stress to customers they should know something about their own website. You wouldn't believe the number of people I refer to your videos exclusively. Thank You, Tyler!
