    This is a bit of a random post post but I genrally need help in setting up my website.

    I have no idea how to code, never build a website before and just had an idea I wanted to implement online.

    https://festivefunspots.com/ That is my site so far, Ive had for 7 days and made scarcely any progress since then.

    I need to know how I add pages, images, editing and adding titles etc etc! I have absoloutley no clue.

    Please if there is anyone out there willing to help and provide some advice reply to this post.

    If you need help with the “Magazine” theme as distributed on www.ads-software.com then you need to post for support here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/theme/magazine#postform

    Just note that everyone providing support is doing so out of their spare time.

    Hi Thanks for replying

    Its not the magazine theme its something else SG Grid

    I understand people are offering support during their spare time but honestly Im quite confused as before I embarked on this project I was told that setting up a website on wordpress is very easy and how you dont need to code or anything like that but it seems in order to edit any little thing you need to code and I am totally clueless when it comes to all that.

    WordPress is really good at being a CMS, not a website-builder. If there aren’t options in themes and plugins to cover other functionality then unfortunately it’s the case of building it yourself, or hiring someone.

    Oh Ok

    Would you say I would be better off using a program such as weebly instead?

    From what you’ve asked in this thread and your previous threads, I think WordPress is up to scratch. I guess the issue is how well themes are documented.

    Some things might be common across themes and documentation for that can be found on the ‘Codex’ https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Getting_Started_with_WordPress

    But how do I have London as the widest page from the right before Isle of Wight?

    I see, that would be a theme specific question.
    Whereas these would be common questions across themes:
    – add pages, images, editing and adding titles etc etc!

    Sir how do I add pictures to the middle of the site and attatch the pages to them?

    https://festivefunspots.com/wp-admin/themes.php?theme=sg-grid – Similar to the page within link but Cities instead.

    I know it may be a specific question relating to theme however no one is responding to me on the support forum.

    I’m sorry that you’re not receiving support within the time frame that you’d want, but that’s a consequence of using volunteer-driven support.

    Ok

    Its just weird because you hear a lot of echoes nowadays on how beginners can easily create their own websites and do everything but actually when it comes to the nitty gritty you can see why a lot of people never truly finish their websites and just give up all together. Thats not my attitude personally, I’ll look to stride p#on just need pointing in the right direction.
