Thank you!
I love the instruction, it is clear and the instructor is encouraging. However, I cannot proceed because of a technical snag. The behavior of my WordPress does not match and I cannot continue. The questions similar to mine in the Q&A section have not been answered for years. I paid and am unemployed. So, I'm stuck.
Clear and concise explanations, always keeping the student informed about what comes next and what will still be learned.
Good explanations, straight forward, easy to follow.
I’m just starting, but the instructor has been very detailed about what the course is about. His lecture style is slow and steady, so he is very easy to understand and follow.
Very wonderful instruction, understandable and fairly good. I recommend purchasing this course; it is well worth it.
So far, I am enjoying the journey. I am absorbing notions happily and without significant nudges. I am enjoying how concepts are explained and the pace used to lead the lessons.
This course is full-on, lots to learn and will keep you on your toes. Full of great examples and taught superbly well. Would recommend to anyone wanting to deep dive into the workings of Wordpress.
All you need to learn about wordpress development in one course. Super Helpful and Awesome...
