New Video Tutorials Now Available

As part of our ongoing effort to improve theme usability and heighten user experience, we have been developing a series of videos tutorials to help new customers better understand the many features that come with our themes. While the creation of these videos is an ongoing process, and we still have many more to make, I am pleased to announce that today, three new videos have been added to all of the theme readme files. These three videos explain some of our latest features: Page Templates, Shortcodes and Sample Data Importing. There are many more videos to come, so I hope everyone enjoys the few we have made so far. Be sure to let us know what you think. Were the videos easy to understand? Did they give enough in-depth information about each feature? How would you rate the production quality? Any ideas you have to improve these videos are appreciated!

    Hey the link codex.wordpress.org/Updating_Wordpress

    is not working for me. Does this work for anyone else?

  13. Don says:

    Okay got it to work. How about a video showing the basics of updating your theme? The wrong and the right way of doing it ?

  14. Alex says:

    Fantastic videos,
    I will be able to send clients to this page instead of painstakingly teaching them how to use these features. Thank you for adding such a great resource.

    The sample data is a great move as these themes look so different with none added this just makes the starting point so much easier.

    The shortcodes add such a rich feature set also that it makes these themes so much richer in value from day 1.

    Looking forward to more videos if these are anything to go by I thing your market share will benefit immensely.

    Kind regards
    Tony

    Love the videos Nick.
    I may never know what shortcodes are… but I’ll know how to use them.

    Very very helpful.

    Another great reason for using Elegant Themes

    In the Nova documentation, there is video about changing the logo. The narrator refers to a “Part 2″ several times, but I can’t find that video anywhere. Can you tell me where it is? Also, may I suggest that in addition to putting the appropriate videos in each of the theme documentation files, that you include a “Videos” section on your website with all of the videos in one place? I had to search through your site to find this blog post, and even here there are only three videos.

    Hope this helps! Please get back to me via email on where I can find that Part 2 Video.

    Thanks!

    • Brad says:

      I’m with Rick on this one, where are all the video tutorials, I just signed up and got a theme, and want to add my own larger logo.

      Where’s part 2 for logos? Or just instructions?
      A site search box would be helpful!
      Or maybe even a sitemap.

      Biggest aggravation is in not being able to find stuff.

  22. [...] live show, WooThemes recently partnered with WordPress 101 to create videos, and Elegant Themes recently added video tutorials for their themes [...]

  23. Great videos Nick. My favourite is the shortcode vide.

    Thank you for your best support !

  24. tolja says:

    this is gut awesome! you guys do a great jobs on the themes and I love them so much :)

  25. Keith Davis says:

    Nick
    The vids are fantastic but I’ve tried the shortcode boxes and contact form page template on a local site and the rendering in IE8 is very poor.

    Are there any plans to alter the stylesheet to include hacks for IE8?

  26. Dave says:

    Guys… I just really played with the shortcode for the first time tonight and I’m blown away. You guys are absolutely wicked.

    I have you bookmarked and I’m back to your site DAILY to make sure I don’t miss a thing.

  27. Mark Spomer says:

    You guys are knocking it out of the park. Couldn’t be more impressed how easy you’re making it. Now, if there were a shortcode for my RSS FEED instead of widget-ville ! ARGHHHHH. LOL.
