Unfortunately the version he was demonstrating was not the current WordPress one and it was making it difficult to follow.. Maybe an update is in order

By Carina Swanepoel on 8/3/2020

Great course, but with the installation of wordpress, it could have been more clear how to copy the zip file into the index folder. Also didn't know what the c-panel was and how to access it. Otherwise, good experience!

By rosey Marinosdottir on 6/5/2018

Good, nice simple intro, still really enjoying it, he has a nice pleasant temperament and is polite and does his best to try and explain sometimes difficult to fully grasp and explain concepts. Keep it up, will be 5 stars at the end if this keeps going! :)

By Francisco Javier Ramírez Hernández on 8/15/2017

You need to define what are you configurating, so, I mean, I was confused when You talk about setting servers, and I can't stand when You turn to set-up local. Please do pauses or divide the content.

By Eleni Kyrt on 6/12/2017

It covered a lot of topics and it was easy to understand which is a very good thing for me. I would have liked a bit more detailed perhaps in order to learn more things but overall great course

By Fred Harris on 2/16/2017

I think this is really too technical for me and probably for a lot of others. They have much easier ways to set up your Wordpress website now. I have a Wordpress website and it was much easier to set up then this.

Learning from Mr Laurence is a great experience. he is a great teacher and loves to share his knowledge treasure with his students. WordPress essential is give you a solid background so you will be able to design any website easily with confident. Highly recommend his courses.

By Andrew Geschke on 5/1/2016

Has some assumed knowledge in the program and reiterates largely what is available on the Wordpress help site. But clearly spoken presentations and an easy introduction to WordPress using a local server.

By Penifana Yeo on 4/25/2016

Very nice overview of WordPress for new comers. However, at time the instructor implies the student knows about other underlined Web technology like Xampp, PHP, MySQL. etc.

By Alicia Cabrera on 12/28/2015

Thank you. All the basic steps were discussed. I suggest to have a working wordpress sample site to be used and the steps will point out how to put together the wordpress site.
