Thanks for your honest interactions! I am happy to answer any questions you might have about the Landing Page builder mentioned in this video.
Great video.
I followed the steps in installing the plugins. But I don't have under page attributes under template " full width, no title, (Siteorigin page..)
Had anyone else ran into this problem?
great video – and i love the expression "side bundle of vidgets" – it made me chuckle
Just wonderful, I've been looking for "make landing page online" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of – Doniden Landify Pages – (just google it ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my co-worker got great results with it.
I need some help, can I call you?
Hi. Thanks for the useful video! I am having a problem. I had previously installed a theme in wordpress, and the theme is overriding anything I do with siteorigin, meaning that any content I add with siteorigin is added to the current theme, instead of starting from a blank page. I tried to uninstall the theme, but it seems you can only change themes, by replacing them with others. So my question is, how do I get rid of my current theme without replacing it with a new one, so that I can start with a blank page?
I don't have the option to change the template. I am working with a fresh install of WP v. 4.9.2 using Twenty Seventeen theme. I have also tried with Twenty Sixteen and Twenty Fifteen. I am trying to follow along step by step with your video but I don't have the very first step of changing the template to Full Width. How do I add the same template options? I have the SiteOrigin plugins you mentioned installed AND activated. But I do not have this option. How do I add this?
If I have WordPress to build my website, do I need another WP account to create a landing page for something completely different? Or can I use the one I have?
I don't have the hero option, can you make a different one?
