  1. Great video! I can’t believe I was able to build my site. I’ve received many compliments. Thank you! I do have a question. I tried to add the pop up tonight. I keep getting a message that adding blocks to the pop up are only available in pro. So I’m assuming it’s no longer free. I built the whole thing and couldn’t publish at the end. Would you have any suggestions for me? Is this correct or am I doing something incorrectly ?

  2. Dankie! Finally I managed to create everything after almost 2 months watching videos, is not that the videos were not helpful, it was more the fact that they all missed some bits, thank you very much for doing this, you went step by step and explained in details enough to to have an idea what was going on. The only thing I was not able to do was to have the same layout, I really liked yours index, it does it show anymore on Neve. Greetings from the Canaries!

  4. Hi man, thanks for the tutorial, since you're one of the only people talking about the NEVE Minimalist Blog – Do you know how to display a permanent text available on the Blog Archive Post page? In other words, say you wanna write something before showing all the blog posts like my name is Charles and I make a blog post every day, and then you want to show all your blog posts on that News or (my journal page) do you know how to do so? I'm looking to do and can't find the answer yet …. Nice tutorial anyway dude! Keep it up!

  5. What is my website? Is it done and running with another theme, for instance, Astra from Elementor, but I want to switch to Neve? Do I have to create a new website, or can I use the material made for the website? Thank you.

  6. when I click edit home page it's having me edit the site from the wp dashboard instead of bringing me to the homepage to edit it from there. What could I be doing wrong?

  7. I watched the whole video and I was particularly thrilled by what you said about starting the whole recording again after you noticed errors. That sounded so encouraging to people like me who also want to create great content.
    But I noticed you mentioned nothing about the website being responsive on mobile. That is important, don't you think so?

  8. Thank you so much for creating this amazing video! I stopped blogging for many years and recently have to blog again to serve my soul mission as a lightworker. My lightworking blog will be using your theme while my casino gambling and forex trading blog will be using the default twenty twenty theme. I hope I will be able to use the minimal blog theme to its true potential. Thanks again 😍

  9. Thank you so much for this tutorial, you are very knowledgeable. I just want to let you know that the Display option on Brizy are availability only for a Pro version (understandable, you recorded the video 2 years ago)

  10. First of all, thank you for your help. I noticed that the link to the items built into the main menu cannot be changed. They also seem to change automatically when you change the h1 heading of the built-in pages. Next question: How do I get posts that I wrote before I installed this starter site to show up in the archive? Thank you.

  11. Thank you for your excellent video. You have helped me crack the code of neve for my first blog. I have some draft posts that I wrote before installing the minimalist blog starter site. Can you tell me how to get them to appear as new posts? I tried updating a couple of them, but they still do not appear. Thank you again, Jon
