I'm completely revising my company web site using the Hugo framework and Bootstrap. Developing web sites is not my business so I need help understanding how to use a Hugo theme (Tikva) and Bootstrap to get the site to appear as I want it to. I've used only html and css on my site since I first developed it in 1993. Now I need to add modern features such as screen size adaption, a blog, and site search capability.
I have all my revised page content, images, and menu created. My immediate problem is learning why, with the Bootstrap quick start installed, the site (locally loaded with 'hugo server') doesn't display the menu and and pages properly,
Where do I earn whether I need to focus on the Hugo theme or Bootstrap?
I took the same approach with the web site as I do with a Python, R, or SQL program by reducing it to only the index page and working through the config.toml. Progress has been made and will continue.

I'm trying to speed up my website built in using Wordpress.
Caching is enabled for most parts of the site, also I'm using cloudflare to speed it up.
When I ran couple of tests, to check optimization and speed of my site, I had some issues showing up in css sections and some font headers, that took a lot of time to load. Theme that I used for wordpress site was ASTRA theme. However, I am having problems now finding those in my main database, to make corrections.
Domain and hostings are from HOSTGATOR, hatchling plan.
Website page is : healthy-paradise.com
I'm still building up this site.
Anyone to try to help me out and tell, where can I locate these files, folders and directories, to make changes, and what needs to be changes?
Link of picture attached shows files in question..
Best regards to everyone.
first of all you need to understand a few thing about website performances. There is no "perfect" website, getting the 100% on google page speed insight or lighthouse is nearly impossible, but you can get close.
Most of the theme available (free or for purchase) are using what we call "libraries" or "framework" made to ease the development process. The downside of those website is that you're loading more content, tools, code than necessary.
For example your website is using jquery (an heavy js library) and bootstrap (css framework). So you're already losing performances on that end. Usually you can't do anything for that beside properly loading scripts (loading them from the function.php file ... etc).
From what I can see you're losing a lot of performances on your image sizing, this you can control, your images should be optimized for web with proper format, size and dimensions.
One other big thing is that you're not using ssl. which also impact performances.
Anyway I think you should get it now, fix all you can fix, and you should be good.

I want to integrate Wordpress on my .NET website. I have already read this can be difficult, however, the integration I'm looking for appears to be rather straightforward to me.
The only area of my site that needs to be Wordpress enabled is the /articles part of my website.
This means that the Wordpress articles will need to adopt the style of my .NET masterpage.
My thought now is that this should be possible by having Wordpress serve articles without a design applied to it (just the raw HTML without CSS), so that I may apply the CSS of my current .NET website.
Is this possible without iframing the Wordpress content and if so how to set that up in Wordpress?
And will it also be possible to have the facetted navigation structure of article tags that Wordpress offers out of the box?
Thanks!
I have Joomla and Drupal sites, but I don't want others to find out what platform (CMS) I'm running.
I want to prevent detection from tools like Wappalyzer or similar tools. (as seen in this screenshot: http://i43.tinypic.com/2evc6qo.png)
I've heard that has to do with meta tags but I'm not sure.
There is no way to hide the fact you're using Joomla. If you inspect the source code of a websites built using Wordpress for example, you will see wp-includes within the URL's of CSS and JS file includes.
When using Joomla, you can type /administrator at the end of the URL, however if the admin URL is hidden, against, inspecting the source can give it away.
This might be of little help:

For Drupal, see the community wiki page "Hide, obscure, or remove clues that a site runs on Drupal":
The short answer is :
You can't. Do not try.
You can get pretty far with trying to hide the fact that your site runs on Drupal. But at some point you’ll probably don’t run Drupal anymore ;-)
Have a look …

There is way to hide Joomla from bots.
You need to use this jomdefender plugin. It removes word joomla from all pages, change admin page and add few antibot tricks.
Its not perfect, but it still adds much more security to your joomla such as file integrity check, which could be quite usefull when some file gets hacked.
I created the site http://staffmeup.com/
We love the look of the home pages of some wordpress themes we've seen recently.
QUESTION: in theory, is it possible to use a wordpress theme as our home page at staffmeup.com, but then have all of the rest of the internal pages of the site run as it is currently built? (below, per my developer). If it is at least possible, are there any strong cautions or reasons not to do it?
1) The site is built using Zend Framework 2 on a traditional LAMP stack
2) Server is LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP)
3) We run PHP 5.3
Of course it is possible, but it doesn't make any sense and integrating the two platforms would still require a developer and most likely would ultimately be more work (not to mention be a lot harder to update and maintain both from an admin perspective and a development perspective) than simply mimicking the design or functionality of one of the Wordpress theme home pages you like while staying in your current platform and framework.
In short, yes it's technically possible, but realistically it doesn't particularly make sense to do so. The only reason I can think you might want to use Wordpress for the home page and your own custom platform for the rest of the site is to avoid paying your developer for more hours to build the homepage on your platform, but integrating Wordpress with your existing site is going to take developer expertise anyway so that's a moot point.
It would make more sense to take the Wordpress theme's home page code (HTML/CSS/JS) and associated template(s) and adapt them to use whatever templating system (PHP) your site uses rather than Wordpress's templating system.
I'm designing a simple website for a friend - four static pages to advertise a yoga retreat she is running. I have a couple of requirements:
My time is short; I want to quickly build a theme template.
She has no technical skills; she wants to log in to the backend and update page content.
Working for myself, a static site builder such as nanoc or jekyll would be ideal: I can build a template.html with room for some content, then update content files, rebuild the site and redeploy. As a bonus, the whole site could be hosted free on GitHub pages. This satisfies requirement (1) but not requirement (2).
I've also considered Wordpress, because I've got plenty of experience running WP sites and developing custom themes. This satisfies requirement (2) but not (1). There is simply too much development overhead building a WP theme - it is not straightforward to modify the markup structure of all those template files, and there are plenty of snags involving ugly page titles or "Comments are disabled" strings which need to be removed.
It shouldn't be this difficult. I want a site engine which has a simple template.html file for easy re-theming, and an accessible backend for content changes. Bonus points if free hosting is available somewhere.
