Could someone please guide me getting the Tours of Nature setup for WordPress (If that is what I am in fact supposed to)

Here and there in this course there are questions from users saying they don't see the Destinations page. I do have the same problem but my question is on a higher level really about what I am supposed to do here.

I have installed Wampserver and WordPress all on my own. I watch the videos with the exmples from Zach. Now what?

Have I missed a step, or is my assumption of what I am meant to do is all wrong. Which of the two descriptions below is more accurate?

1: You should have downloaded X and installed Z to get the Tours of Nature site.. Here's the link ...

2: Sit back and enjoy. Just watch and learn for now. You are not meant to follow along and actually do anything just yet,. All you need to build the site we look at will be provided later.

Grateful for any help.

"Tours of nature" is just an example website that Zach is trying to develop here so that he can show the students how to develop the website of their own, Not necessarily the "Tours of Nature" because every person has their own view of a website that they want to develop.

However, In my opinion a video or two from the development of this website are missing For example how did the "Slideshow" and "Destinations" came up there along with posts and Pages, which makes this whole thing a bit confusing for the new students.

To answer the above questions, both the pages were added as "Custom Post types" with the help of plugins. Please watch the video "https://teamtreehouse.com/library/how-to-make-a-website-with-wordpress/custom-post-types-and-fields-in-wordpress/setting-up-custom-post-types-and-fields" in order to remove any confusions.

Hope this helps.
