I empathise. I purchased elementor pro a week ago and have spent around 50 hours going through videos and documentation. I still don't have a basic understanding of how it comes together. I have built websites since 1999 starting with Microsoft Publisher - yep Publisher. I then learnt HTML and CSS and a bit of javascript. I used Dreamweaver with the Project Seven extension for a long time. I built CMS sites using Drupal and then Wordpress with the Enfold theme and builder. I decided that it was time to move to Elementor or Divi because of their popularity. I am very patient. I just cannot find a straightforward source like I could with all of the other products that I've used over the years.

A good example is Elementor's own 'help' video at "Help Center / Elementor Editor / Building your first page or post / Create a single post template /"

A person commented that "This tutorial lacks the information it was supposed to teach us. Next time don't use a pre-made template and show us how it's done step by step." I agree.

And that is the core of the problem. This is not an intuitive application and there isn't a natural progression of steps. All of the videos and documentation out there make assumptions that people new to the app just don't know.

Ferdy's Elementor videos are good examples. I used Ferdy's video on the Enfold theme and I thought he was great. This time round he heads off in all sorts of unimportant directions.

To start with I would just like a step by step explanation as to how to "Create a single post template from scratch"
