This task is to set up the server for the course platform for The Nomads Academy, and to install LearnDash and the other key plugins listed below. I still won’t have the course videos to add to it for a few weeks, but we can start working on getting the infrastructure set up. You can refer back to Doers Brief #6 for a video walkthrough that will help.
The details to use for setting up the infrastructure for their website are below:
- Notes for the AWS server & automatic backup setup:
- AWS region to use: Ohio
- Name for the server & .pem file: NomadsAcademyCourses and NomadsAcademyCoursesPemFile
- Name for the S3 buckets: nomads-academy-courses-creds, nomads-academy-courses-backups, nomads-academy-media
- Notes for the “WordPress setup” step:
- Site Name: Nomads Academy Courses
- Theme to install: Astra
- Plugins to install:
- The Pro version of Updraft (you can find the file attachment at the bottom of Doers Brief #6 for the file download),
- Elementor,
- All in One WP Security,
- WP SMTP (this will come automatically installed, I believe),
- Elementor Pro,
- Astra Pro (both Astra Pro and Elementor Pro I sent to you via Campfire, so you can always download them from there)
- And the 2 plugins I’ve attached below, which should be LearnDash and then the LearnDash extension for Elementor
