Hi Guy's
I am Shyam from Websitelearners.com,
Today we're going to see
how to you can create a separate page for your blog posts
Now, when you first launch your wordpress site,
You might have noticed that, all of your blog posts are
shown on the homepage of your website
Today, we're going to see, How you can move those blog posts,
from your homepage
to a separatepage, like this
So by putting your posts on a separate page
you will be able to have, a well-designed homepage,
like this
Were you can put your own content
Okay guys !
So let's get started
First, let's take a look, at our website
This is the default wordpress site,
where we have, all our blog posts on the homepage
now if you want to put these posts
on a separate page
We are first going to create a new page, called 'blog'
Okay
Let's go to 'new'
and let's click 'page'
Now we'll call this page as 'blog'
and click 'publish'
okay
So now our new page has been created
Let's see it, by clicking 'view page'
And you can see that
We have a new page called 'blog'
and right now this page is empty
okay
Now if we go to our homepage
You can see that, our blog posts are still here
Now how do we bring, these posts, into the page,
we just created?
So to move these posts, we need to,
"Change our homepage settings in wordpress"
So to change our settings, let's go to our dashboard
and then go to settings,
And click 'reading',
So here you can see that,
in this setting
our homepage, is set to display our 'latest posts'
So instead of this, we need to change it to a static page
So once we do that
we can now select any page we want
for our homepage
and the posts page
So since we just created a page, for a blog posts
let's click here,
and select 'blog', as our posts page,
And once we select it, we can just click 'save'
Okay, now if we go here
you can see that we're on our blog page, right now
and it was empty
now if we click 'refresh'
You can see that, all of our blog posts, appears
on this page,
So we have successfully moved our blog posts,
into a separate page, called 'blog'
But what about our homepage?
Now if we go back to the settings,
You can see that, we have not yet selected a page,
for our homepage
And, if we click here, you can see that we only have
one page called 'blog' which we just created
So this means, we need to create a new page,
which can be set, as our homepage,
So to create new page, let's go to this tab
And Let's go to new again and then click 'page'
we'll call the page as 'home',
and here, you can enter any content,
which you want to put in your homepage,
I'm just going to type some sample text
and everything you put here,
is going to appear on your homepage,
Okay
So let's click 'publish'
And we'll go back to the settings page
and click 'refresh'
And now if we click here,
You can see, the new page, we just created
So let's select it, to set it as our homepage
And click 'save'
Okay
so our homepage settings have been saved
Now let's look at our site, by clicking visit site
And you can see that, the page which we created,
appears as our homepage
So we can say this is our homepage,
by looking at the address here,
We're right now on quicktechy.com, which is our homepage
So you can see that we have our homepage
and, if we go to blog
we can see, our blog posts,
Okay so let's go back to our homepage again
Now, what if we don't want just text, on this homepage
and instead of that, What if you want to have a better
looking homepage, like this?
Which has a much better design
So if you want to build a page like this,
you need to install a plugin called elementor
Okay
So let's go to part 2 of this tutorial
Where we see, how you can design, your homepage,
So to design the page, first we're going install,
the elementor plugin
So install it, let's go to our dashboard,
let's go to 'plugins'
and click 'add new'
now let's search for plugin called 'elementor'
and you will get this plugin,
which say's "elementor page builder"
So let's click 'install now'
And then click 'activate'
Okay so elementor is now installed,
Next, let's see how you can design your homepage using
elementor
So to design our page, first let's go to our site,
by clicking 'visit site'
And you can see the old home page
now let's click 'edit page'
And you can see that, after installing elementor
We got this new button called 'edit with elementor'
so let's click that
And now we're in the editing mode,
were we can design our homepage,
Now by default, we are only able to add content to this area
But if you want to use the whole page
we can tell elementor to use the full width, of our page,
So to change that setting All you have to do is,
go here, and then click 'settings'
and in the 'page layout'
choose 'elementor full width'
Now, this will allow you to use,
the full width of your page
You can see that, the usable area, has been expanded,
to the whole page,
So, now let's start designing our page,
To design the page, you have two options,
Let's look at the first option,
which is using 'blocks'
So to build your page, using blocks,
all you have to do is click 'add template'
Now Make sure you're on this tab here which says blocks
And, here you can see different types of
'sections', you can add to your site
So 1st, I'm going to add this section
I'm just going to click 'insert'
And you can see that, the section has been added to
our page ,
Okay,
So next we'll add another section,
We'll click add template
And i'll choose this section
And, it'll be added
Okay
So now we've added 2 sections
So once you've added all the sections you want,
you can now start adding your own content
So to add your own content,
Just select the text you want to change
And then, start typing, your text
So that's it
The same way you can change any text you want
Just select the text
and then enter, your own text
Once you're done, just go here,
and then click 'update'
to save all the changes,
and then to view the page, just click this button here
And you can see that, we have just created our
homepage,
so we have a unique homepage
and we have our blog page,
which has, all of our blog posts
Okay so this is how, you can build
your page, using blocks
Next, let's see, the 2nd way, to build your page
So to try it
we'll go back to elementor
and let's delete, the sections which we added,
So we've deleted all the sections
the 2nd way to build a page is by using 'pages'
So to build your page, using pages,
just click 'add template'
And instead of blocks, let's go into 'pages'
When you go to pages, you can see,
a lot of ready-made designs,
which you can use for your site
So let's say you like this design, for your homepage,
Just go here
And click 'insert'
And as soon as you click it!
you will get that 'entire page' into your site
So Now all we have to do, is just go to the places where
we want to change the text
select it
And then enter, your own text
That's it, so you have a perfectly designed page,
which you can customize, as you wish
So once you're done with all the changes,
You can simply click 'update'
And then to view the page, just click this button here,
So that's it
You can see how the site is looking now
So this is our homepage
and
this our blog
So that's it guy's
This how you can create a separate page
for your blog posts
