[Installing WordPress themes and plugins][1] is very simple. All you have to do is go to the WordPress dashboard, there you will have the menu on the left. Select plugins/themes.
You can also search the directory, and apply filters to find a theme or plugin that best suits your needs. Click on install, then click activate, and voila! It’s done, my friend. You have successfully manually installed a theme/plugin on your website!
To use full-site editing, hover your cursor on Appearance, and in the menu select Editor. Voila! You can now edit your homepage, and create a design you want. For those looking forward to design ideas or ready-made blocks, check out WordPress Patterns.
Most importantly, there is no restriction on the number of plugins you can use (unless you have managed hosting, as most do not allow some plugins, especially those that clash with their platform’s codes. Read more here: managed vs self-hosting).
So, you can pick any number of plugins you want, and don’t worry about how to customize WordPress plugins or how to update WordPress plugins. It’s very simple and happens at the click of a button. We’ll be coming up with more guides, clearing any remaining whiff of doubt you might have.

This is a very broad question. I'm unfamiliar with the theme but guessing it uses WooCommerce?
It sounds like you may want to create a Child Theme on this new theme and edit it that way - if you're adamant on using it.
https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/
WooCommerce offers lots of documentation on how to edit their themes by creating your own template files which overwrites the default ones they use.

I'm new to wordpress, and I want to know if it is possible to put a theme bought on shapedtheme.com for example on an existing wordpress.
And if so, how to do it. I don't know where to put the code of the theme. I saw the wordpress page builder with text, but I see tags with [] and not <>.
I saw on this thread that pages can be linked to php files. I don't see how.
I have full access to the hosting service's filesystem and can see all wordpress files.
I would also like to transpose the theme header and footer and if possible, use the theme cards to adapt to blog articles written in wordpress.
How can I do this ?
I searched for tutorials on google or related threads on SO with no luck.
Any ressource would be appreciated.
Thanks to anyone who will take the time to read/answer this post.
No, you can't use a non-WordPress theme in a WordPress installation since WordPress will look for specific templates and pass certain objects to the template to be displayed.
You could adapt it to work with WordPress, though. Here's the theming guide to get you started.
But you'll probably be able to find a WordPress-ready theme with the features you want. This is the WordPress theme directory link for themes using bootstrap.
Unless you go for a from-scratch development of a pure php theme, and you need some level of theme customization I'd strongly suggest looking into child themes, as it'll allow you to update the base theme minimizing the changes you'd have to do to yours.
The [ ] syntax you mention are shortcodes, small, safe php functions that can be executed by inserting them in the editor, templates, etc, and provide kind of an api that exposes WordPress or plugins functionality.
And regarding your link, OP already has a WordPress theme, but is looking for a way of using a different, specialized template on specific pages. This template still has to follow to certain WordPress conventions.
I am using a premium woocommerce theme.I don't like the position and look of the search-bar.Its tiny and I want to make it look like Google search-bar.So I want to change it.I don't know coding that well.What specific thing should I do to make it happen.What coding language I have to learn to do this?
If you are lucky the Premium WooCommerce theme which you have bought must have an option to add Custom Code(CSS) through the WordPress dashboard itself.
If not please go through the following procedure:
You can change the look and position of the WordPress searchbar using CSS. In order to add the CSS to your WordPress site you need to know basics of PHP how exactly WordPress works.
You need to enqueue style in theme's(Creating a child theme of your theme is more preferable to avoid the loss of code due to theme update) function.php file or using you own custom plugin.
Both these options are given in details in this link.
Languages you need to know:
PHP, CSS
You need not have to be master of PHP to do the changes just the basics of php is fine.
I am using a wordpress theme that is placing my pages and catagories in the opposite places I want them (See Below). Is there a way I can pragmatically switch the places where the pages (about, contact, apps) with the categories? I've looked around but cant find anyone who has had a similar issue.
If the theme supports changing menu items, then #golddc's answer tells you what to do. But if the theme doesn't support it and you're not ready to develop a theme from scratch, you may be able to modify the existing theme:
Go into the Wordpress back-end and navigate to Appearance > Editor (two options below Appearance > Menu).
Find the file on the right that governs the site's header. This is probably header.php. The right file will hopefully include wp_list_pages(); and wp_list_categories(); somewhere, since these are the functions which, predictably enough, tell Wordpress to list the site's pages and categories, respectively.
Switch the locations of wp_list_pages(); and wp_list_categories(); and see if that has the desired effect.
You can check the "Menu" settings in the WP backend, which you can find at Appearance -> Menus. If the theme supports it, you can create menu items with categories.
Check here for how to use the menus:
http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Menu_User_Guide
If the theme doesn't support that (although I think Menus is supported) and it's definitely needed, you may have to consider developing your own theme.
I am using a WordPress theme in a site. I want to edit the bottom of the page, replacing the WordPress default message and replace it with a custom message. The problem is, the change I want to make should be independent of the theme. I can change that editing footer.php using admin panel. Problem is, I do not want the changes to be reverted as soon as I change the theme. Can anyone suggest how to achieve that? Besides I want to remove the WordPress logo, too.
This isn't the way wordpress works I am afraid.
Anything that is tied to the database (posts, pages etc etc) will remain from theme to theme, but any changes you make to the theme files directly (editing default footer text) are tied to not just that theme, but those specific files. If you change the theme, or update the theme to a new version, your changes will be lost.
You are editing a file, and that file will no longer be in use when you switch theme.
You could use a plugin to create an overlay layer at the bottom of the page but this would be a fairly nasty solution and would be liable to appear differently when you change the theme.
Alternately, a plugin could be used to inject some javascript that modifies the footer but again, would depend on the theme as to what classes/IDs you'd be wanting to modify.
Basically this isn't something that's done!
