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 Now, If you don't see
