I have a WordPress site, and I teach python on it and I want to share some code on it. I want a code editor that users can see my code and run it.
Please if you know any plugin that can do this help me.
I really do not think that there is such kind of a plugin available as of now. However, you can always search for such a plugin inside the official WordPress plugin repository.
Still, my recommendation would be to consider building your custom website ( not based on WordPress at all ) in order to achieve that using a different application or framework that has already developed a tool for that purpose.

I'm researching to see if building a full website for a hotel be a good idea to do on WordPress.
I read that wordpress is okay but there are better options.
I want to design and code my own front end look to the website, but have the backend on a stable platform that can take all the reservations seamlessly.
My main concern is to be able to have a backup of all the files and easily switch to another server in case something goes wrong.
I can host the website on my server or host with the service you suggest that comes with the platform all together.
Any ideas and/or suggestions are greatly appreciated!
There are other options, no doubt, but yes, it can and is really possible to build it using WordPress as CMS.
If you want to design and code your own theme, you'll need to study the WordPress Theme Structure and, since you'll build it by yourself, you'll also need to develop plugins to create custom post types (aka CPT) to make the hotel management easier on the WP back-end.
About the theme structure, files, child themes and everything, I'd recommend you to read https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development
About the plugins development: https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/
About Custom Post Types: https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/post-types/registering-custom-post-types/
About the backup: it's super easy and you can even make a full backup using free plugins via back-end. But if the site goes down you can easily do it via FTP downloading only wp-content folder and the database. It's really simple to migrate from one WordPress to another, or from host to host.
About the hosting, you'll need to use a server if you want to build this project. There's a difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org
The .com is simpler, you are not able to build everything you want. The .org is the open source project, which you get the files, upload to your server and connect to database (MariaDB or MySQL). Most hosts offer automatic installation for WordPress and, from there, you can change whatever you want and need.
Note: many developers create CPTs INSIDE the theme's code, but this is not recommended by WP as you can see in We recommend that you put custom post types in a plugin rather than a theme. This ensures that user content remains portable even if they change their theme.
WP is not really hard, after 1 week studying you'll see yourself getting over most difficulties. Even if it takes longer, don't give up. There's a huge community to help you with WP questions.
Hope it helps and I'm sorry my bad writing, I'm not an english native speaker.

I apologize if this has been asked before, but after doing some research, I could not find any resources answering this specific question of mine.
I'm trying to use the Redux framework in my WordPress theme. I used the builder to get started, which is linked to on the plugin page. I customized my framework there and chose the option of "embed only" (Embed Only: TGM is not used and Redux is embedded within the theme/plugin). I also exported as a custom theme, which uses Underscores. As a result, I now have admin directory inside of my theme, with an "options-init.php" file in it. I've been modifying this file to add my options. Is this right? In the documentation it mentions to look for a sample-config.php file, and to copy that and modify it, but I can't find that anywhere. I want to make sure I'm doing this right before I get too far and find an issue.
Also, how do I make sure the framework stays up to date with the latest security patches? Is it a better idea to install it as a plugin rather than embed it in the theme itself?
Lead dev of Redux Framework here. It is very much a better idea to run Redux via a plugin if you want your users to have security updates.
Another option is to embed redux, but to use TGM to suggest for users to install the plugin. This way your theme is not dependent on Redux, but the moment they install the plugin, that version of Redux will take over.
It's up to you, but the plugin is the way to go.
I have been developing plugins for WordPress. Most plugin I have developed with two three classes and not so huge like Buddypress, WooCommerce or etc.
I am planning to make two open source plugins to deliver some sort of complex system (detail can't share you at the moment but later during the development) where other developers can customize functions and system for them need same as Buddypress and WooCommerce.
As I check those plugins files and realize they have register them own action and filters which developers can modify as per them need. But my problem is unable to understand completely how I should write the plugin where other developer have flexibility to override plugin function as well as they can add them own.
I know it is difficult to give definite answer but I need some sort of start-up guide so I can go into right direction. Do I need to register my action and filters? If yes how to do? if not than how can I do?
Your hint will help me a lot... Thanks a lot
You can check WordPress-Plugin-Boilerplate, it should get you started on the right path.
It may be useful to use wp-cli for generate plugin like so:
wp scaffold plugin my-plugin
Or using "WordPress Plugin Boilerplate" for more complex works: https://wpbp.github.io/wiki.html
I'd like a more capable search for my website. My current search is unable to ignore spelling mistakes and since our site is a multi lingual we really need this capability. Google has a great way of doing this.
I'm aware of the Google custom search, how do I install this to drupal without installing a module?
Thanks in advance!
Here is the documentation for how to add GCS to your web site by pasting some code into your template (or a block or node)
https://developers.google.com/custom-search/docs/element.
I did this method on http://www.greens.org.nz/ so see that web site for a working example.
I have managed to setup a blog on localhost quickly using wordpress. But what is ivolved in setting up a commercial website that is not a blog?
Also, should learning to use wordpress be more diffcult than learning Asp.Net or php? I can use these languages to create a website more quickly than using wordpress it seems. I'm guessing it should be possible to create a basic php website and then somehow hook it up to the admin functionality of wordpress to publish content and update it?
Any comments and suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
A few thoughts on this.
First, Wordpress is based on PHP. So if you know your way around in PHP you are able to change anything within wordpress, you can build customized plugins, templates, etc.
However, using Wordpress has nothing to do with the programming languages you know. The fact that you are struggling with it is probably more because you don't understand yet what the features of Wordpress are or what you can use them for.
You can easily use Wordpress to create a simple non-blog website by setting up pages instead of posts. So you would be using Wordpress not as a blog engine but more as what's usually called a content management system CMS (not that using it as a blog engine wouldn't make Wordpress a CMS, but I'm talking about the general usage of those wordings).
A simple Google search might help you find more information about how to accomplish it in your specific case.
Hope this helps!
You need experience with PHP, HTML and CSS to configure WordPress to run like a non-blog website. Is it easier? Maybe, you get what you want but you won't understand what is going on.
If you are creating a static web page, say like a company's web site with little to none dynamic content, use pages (not posts) and create a static front page.
If you wish to use WordPress like a generic CMS, you can either use the Pods plugin or the newly introduced custom post types and taxonomies (new in Wordpress 3.0). You still need knowledge of PHP/MySQL to configure the Wordpress Loop (which is used to display blog posts and other dynamic content) and Wordpress Theme tags (to display name of the current logged in user).
Some plugins help with customizing the site for a non-blog look. Theme My Login and Theme my Profile blends the log-in page and profile page with your theme. However, if you need to customize the appearance, or add new logic, you pretty much need programming.
In short, you would need knowledge of PHP and MySQL; CSS too, if possible. Get your hand dirty building some sites, then what Wordpress offer and does for you with its API will be more relevant.
