WordPress.com is an online website-building platform based on <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wordpress.org<\/a>.

To avoid any confusion, please pay attention to this distinction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress itself is a CMS (Content Management System) originally designed for blogging. There are at least 5 reasons why you should consider using WordPress for building your website:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Free<\/strong>: WordPress is an open-source website building system.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>User-Friendly<\/strong>: It&#8217;s beginner-friendly and easy to get started with.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lightweight<\/strong>: It doesn&#8217;t require excessive hosting resources, which means low cost for starting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Scalability<\/strong>: You can create any type of website using plugins, whether it&#8217;s an eCommerce site like the one we&#8217;re building in this article, a portfolio, a forum, a news magazine, and more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Largest Global User Base<\/strong>: WordPress has the highest number of users globally. It&#8217;s supported by numerous hosting providers, and there&#8217;s a vast array of plugins and themes available. The fact that it&#8217;s widely used also indicates that there are plenty of online solutions available for any issues you might encounter. You won&#8217;t be left with concerns because you&#8217;re not alone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"740\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-1024x740.png\" alt=\"Historical yearly trends in the usage statistics of content management systems\" class=\"wp-image-15399\" title=\"Historical yearly trends in the usage statistics of content management systems\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-1024x740.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-300x217.png 300w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-768x555.png 768w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-1536x1110.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Historical yearly trends in the usage statistics of content management systems<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Many more advantages aren&#8217;t listed here.

But what&#8217;s the deal with web hosting, you ask? Well, let me give you the scoop:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Affordable Pricing for Everyone<\/strong>: The pricing is budget-friendly and accessible to anyone. And sure, a lot of these deals might ask you to pay upfront for a whole year, but building a website is like a long-term kind of thing anyway, right?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>User-Friendly Operation<\/strong>: No need to wrap your head around all those techy hosting details.

They use the Litespeed web server for high performance, offer a free domain for the first year, and the pricing is quite competitive. The first tier plan costs between $3 &#8211; $5 per month, and the renewal rate is $9.95\/month. the customer service? They&#8217;re on it. Got a question? They&#8217;ve got an answer, and they&#8217;re fast.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/goto\/inmotion-hosting\/\"><strong>Inmotion Hosting<\/strong><\/a> &#8211; Their basic plan allows you to create 2 websites. They use the <strong>Nginx web server<\/strong>, which is quite rare among hosting providers. They also utilize cPanel as the hosting control panel. Like Interserver, they have data centers exclusively in the United States. Overall, they excel in various aspects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/goto\/interserver\/\">Interserver cPanel Hosting<\/a><\/strong> &#8211; They offer only one premium subscription plan, which is consistently priced at $2.50 per month, making it very affordable. It also uses cPanel as the hosting control panel, allowing you to create numerous websites. However, it only provides weekly automated backups and operates solely from data centers in the United States. Other than that, it&#8217;s a solid choice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For more cPanel hosting providers, you can click another article on our website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/6-best-cpanel-web-hosting-providers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Top 6 Most Popular And Best CPanel Web Hosting Providers<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The upcoming steps will mainly use Chemicloud as an example. If you&#8217;re using cPanel hosting from another provider, aside from differences in the purchasing process, the subsequent steps in the tutorial are generally similar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Select a Web Hosting Plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s head over to the Chemicloud website and take a look at their web hosting plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-18-1024x536.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18582\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-18-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-18-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-18-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-18-1536x804.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/image-18-2048x1071.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The image above shows the prices for first-time purchasing, you can see the three tiers they&#8217;ve got: Starter, Pro, and Turbo. If you&#8217;re just starting to build a website, I&#8217;d say the Starter plan is the way to go. It&#8217;s usually $2.95\/month for a triennial price, but during the sales and deal season, the prices might be lower, and the renewal rate is $9.95\/month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I know you might think this 3-year upfront payment thing seems a bit&#8230;

Yup, it might cost a tiny bit more, but trust me, it&#8217;s like saving heaps of time and brainpower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go ahead and Choose &#8220;Register a new domain&#8221; right there on Chemicloud, <strong>the first year&#8217;s domain fee is free<\/strong>! Cool, right? Toss in your desired domain name and give it a quick &#8220;Check.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next page will pop up with an option for WHOIS privacy protection. I&#8217;d say go for it. It&#8217;s just $3.95\/year. Otherwise, brace yourself for a daily stream of promotional emails and telemarketing calls. Trust me, not a fun time. And then continue to the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Configure Hosting Plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Next up, we&#8217;ve got the Configure page, where you get to set up some key info about your hosting and some extra options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"593\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-3-1024x593.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15417\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-3-1024x593.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-3-300x174.png 300w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-3-768x445.png 768w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-3-1536x890.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-3.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two main spots here that need your attention. First off, choose your billing cycle. Snagging the 3-year deal is like the ultimate money-saver. Seriously, when you&#8217;re kickstarting a venture, 3 years isn&#8217;t all that long. Even if you&#8217;re looking at a 2-year option, the price difference isn&#8217;t that much. Plus, the renewal cost for a 3-year plan is gonna be cheaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Considering the current anniversary deal price, the total cost is just under 100 bucks. And that&#8217;s for three whole years, think about it, weigh the pros and cons, and decide if it&#8217;s worth it for your gig. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Second, Pick a data center. Keep it simple, go with the one that&#8217;s closest to where your business buzzes and leave the rest option on the default settings. Once you&#8217;ve got your info in place, hit that &#8220;Continue&#8221; button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Create an Account and Checkout<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, Chemicloud will prompt you to create an account. Once you&#8217;ve got your registration info squared away, you can pick a payment method. Chemicloud supports both PayPal and Stripe (credit card), so just go with what suits you best. Don&#8217;t forget to check the box saying you&#8217;ve read and agreed to the terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"655\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-4-1024x655.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15421\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-4-1024x655.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-4-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-4-768x492.png 768w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-4-1536x983.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-4.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When everything&#8217;s good to go, hit that &#8220;Checkout&#8221; button to make your payment.

It&#8217;s recommended to select all three, including &#8220;mail,&#8221; which represents your business email domain. If your domain is from third-party registrars, ensure it&#8217;s successfully pointed to your hosting before attempting to issue the certificate. After that, hit the blue &#8220;Issue&#8221; button at the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-9-1024x536.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15432\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-9-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-9-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-9-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-9-1536x804.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-9.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Once the certificate is successfully issued, the page will return a success message.

Look at the left side of the address bar and see if there&#8217;s a <strong>small lock icon<\/strong>. If you don&#8217;t see it, try clearing your browser cache and refreshing the page, or opening the link in a new browser, or even giving it a shot in Chrome&#8217;s incognito mode.

Click on it, and you&#8217;ll be taken to a panel called &#8220;Softaculous.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"451\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-11-1024x451.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15438\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-11-1024x451.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-11-300x132.png 300w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-11-768x338.png 768w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-11.png 1291w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, you&#8217;ll get a rundown of what WordPress is all about.

experts and their free versions are remarkably capable for starters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus, you can always upgrade to their premium versions down the line. I truly believe this is a smart move. It can save you quite a bit of budget while still offering impressive theme functionalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On this site, We are using the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/goto\/kadencewp\/\">Kadence<\/a> theme.

Some of these functionalities used to be accessible only through paid options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll get different templates depending on the editor you choose. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click on &#8220;<strong>Gutenberg<\/strong>,&#8221; and you&#8217;ll be prompted to pick a template. Kadence offers quite a few beginner templates, and many of them are free. There are even a couple of eCommerce templates. Choose one of the eCommerce templates, like <strong>Outdoor Shop<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"893\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-19-1024x893.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15461\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-19-1024x893.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-19-300x262.png 300w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-19-768x670.png 768w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-19-1536x1339.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-19.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Click on the <strong>Outdoor Shop<\/strong> Templates to get ready for importing, On the right, you can preview the template, and on the left sidebar, you&#8217;ll find settings options like colors and fonts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re importing the template, all the necessary plugins will be installed. For Kadence, you won&#8217;t need too many plugins \u2013 just two: <strong>WooCommerce<\/strong> and <strong>Kadence Block<\/strong>. The template supports importing either a single page or the full site. I&#8217;d recommend going for the full site import, especially if you&#8217;re a beginner. It&#8217;ll make building your site a breeze since you&#8217;ll only need to replace the template&#8217;s content and make some layout tweaks before your site goes live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"521\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-20-1024x521.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15470\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-20-1024x521.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-20-300x153.png 300w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-20-768x391.png 768w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-20-1536x781.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-20.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Click &#8220;Full site&#8221; to start importing the template.

Then there&#8217;s the WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL). It&#8217;s preferable for them to be the same, and whether you include &#8220;www.&#8221; or not is up to your preference.

This is where you can make how your site looks on the internet. In the Kadence theme, the primary aspect of appearance settings is customization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-8-background-color has-background\">**Please note that the content of any single page cannot be edited here. For page contents, you can navigate to the specific page within the dashboard under &#8220;<strong>Pages<\/strong>&#8220;!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Different themes might have slight differences, but as long as you go through each setting step by step, you&#8217;ll be fine.

For the <strong>Breadcrumbs<\/strong> and <strong>Performance<\/strong> options, my suggestion is to check all. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Header and Footer<\/strong> \u2013 The Kadence theme&#8217;s header and footer settings are advanced yet user-friendly, even for beginners. Both the header and footer settings are divided into three rows, where you can drag and drop the widgets they provide. Unlike other themes, the layout of headers and footers in Kadence isn&#8217;t fixed. In the latest versions, Kadence&#8217;s footer can also utilize Gutenberg blocks, giving you more creative freedom to build the header and footer you want. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"526\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-24-1024x526.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15489\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-24-1024x526.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-24-300x154.png 300w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-24-768x395.png 768w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-24-1536x789.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-24.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Kadence Header and Footer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Page Layout, Blog Posts, and Search Results<\/strong> \u2013 These are the layouts for web pages, blog posts, and search results.

These don&#8217;t require settings here; you can find separate settings for them in the &#8220;Appearance&#8221; section of your WordPress dashboard. Next, let&#8217;s talk about these two settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Menu and Widget Settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Menus is the navigation system for the website, guiding visitors to different pages and sections. This is quite pivotal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Menu setting<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In WordPress, with the Kadence theme, menu settings can be found under &#8220;Appearance.&#8221; To access them, navigate to Appearance -&gt; Menus, here, you can edit your menus. The process is quite straightforward as shown in the below screenshot. Whatever theme you installed, there are a few pre-set menus, You can directly edit, add, or remove items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"531\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-26-1024x531.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15503\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-26-1024x531.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-26-300x155.png 300w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-26-768x398.png 768w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-26-1536x796.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/image-26.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\" class=\"wp-block-list has-theme-palette-8-background-color has-background\">\n<li><strong>Edit Menus<\/strong>, Let&#8217;s take the default &#8220;Primary Menu&#8221; as an example. You can click the small downward arrow on the right side of each menu item to edit or delete a link. You can select the desired items from the &#8220;Add menu items&#8221; section on the left to add new links to the menu. This section includes virtually any individual link from your website. You can even add custom outbound links. Any menu item can be dragged around to change its position and even be dragged to become a sub-menu.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Create a new menu<\/strong>, click &#8220;Create a new menu&#8221; in the red box in the above image.

You can also change menu locations by using the &#8220;Manage Locations&#8221; option at the top.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once everything is set, hit &#8220;Save&#8221; to preserve your changes. Then, go to your website to see how it is. For some intricate menus like mega menus, you need to install plugins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Widget for Sidebar<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Widgets are a standout feature in WordPress. Generally, you can use widgets to set up sidebars and footers, and some themes even offer additional spots like the header.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"461\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-1024x461.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15504\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-1024x461.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-300x135.png 300w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-768x346.png 768w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-1536x691.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">New widget in WordPress<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, starting from WordPress version 5.8, widgets are primarily used for page sidebars. The widget editor and the page editor both now utilize Gutenberg. You simply need to add block elements and then edit the content within these blocks. This transition to using blocks is especially user-friendly for beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WooCommerce Shop Setting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yup, you may see a <strong>Woocommerce<\/strong> setting under <strong>Customize<\/strong> above, but that is mainly for the appearance of your woocommerce store, The setting here is all the information about your eCommerce shop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve installed the WooCommerce plugin in WordPress, you&#8217;ll notice a few additional WooCommerce menu options in the left navigation of your dashboard, Navigate to WooCommerce &gt; Settings, you can start setting now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here, the main things you need to do are your online store information, shipping details, payment methods, and other business-related info. WooCommerce itself will guide you through this setup process, Simply follow the steps and fill in the necessary details according to your actual information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"442\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-1-1024x442.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15509\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-1-1024x442.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-1-300x130.png 300w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-1-768x332.png 768w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-1-1536x663.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-1.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The settings and customization for WordPress + WooCommerce eCommerce website are mostly covered by the points mentioned above. There are other settings in the WordPress dashboard, but unless necessary, it&#8217;s best not to modify them. However, if you&#8217;re looking to get familiar with WordPress, you can gradually explore each of those settings at your own pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step <mark class=\"has-inline-color has-theme-palette-3-color\">7.<\/mark> Add Contents (Pages and Products)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If building a website is compared to constructing a house, then the previous steps could be seen as completing the basic interior decoration of the house. This step is like adding furniture and furnishings. For a website, the furnishings are essentially the addition of pages and content. For an eCommerce website, these furnishings are the products. Therefore, this step involves adding pages and products to your eCommerce website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Add Pages<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some pages have been automatically imported once you import the Kadence template. If you need any of these pages, you can retain and edit them. If not, you can access the <strong>Pages<\/strong> of the dashboard and delete them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"466\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-3-1024x466.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-15511\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-3-1024x466.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-3-300x137.png 300w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-3-768x349.png 768w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-3-1536x699.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.qingsongb2c.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/image-3.png 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from the default WooCommerce pages, you can edit, modify, or delete any other pages.
