📘 Day 4 – WordPress Beginner to Expert Training
In today’s lesson, we will learn how to work with Themes, Menus, and how to design a Home Page using Elementor. This is a complete practical session with easy steps and interactive tasks.
🎨 1. What is a WordPress Theme?
A WordPress theme controls the layout, design, colors, fonts, header, footer, and overall style of your website.
Think of it as the outer look and feel of your website.
Check how many themes are installed by default.
⬇️ 2. How to Install & Activate a Theme
- Go to Appearance → Themes
- Click on Add New
- Search for any theme (Example: Astra, Neve, Blocksy)
- Click Install → Activate
🧭 3. Creating the Website Menu
The menu helps users navigate through your website (Home, About, Services, Contact, etc.).
Steps:
- Go to Appearance → Menus
- Create a new menu (Example: Main Menu)
- Select pages to add to the menu
- Drag & drop to reorder menu items
- Choose Display Location (Primary Menu)
- Save Menu
(Drag a menu item slightly right → becomes a submenu.)
