Convert wordpress site from Salient to Elementor - wordpress

I have a Wordpress site made with Salient and WPBakery.
Is it possible to use salient with elementor?
As far as I can tell the theme states that
This theme requires the following plugins: Salient Core and Salient WPBakery Page Builder.
Or do I have to start from scratch?

You can add Elementor and then switch between editors.
Also you can try disabling the built-in editor. I'm not sure about Salient Core, there might be functions for customizing the theme.
If you have pages and posts created in the WPBakery editor, there probably won't be an easy way to convert them to Elementor. You will most likely have to create pages / posts in the new editor from scratch.

Applying a different Wordpress Template to a different wordpress theme

I purchased a wordpress theme as shown in the url here https://seosight.crumina.net/. Since then i have changed my mind and browsed for ready made templates and happy with the template located here https://themes.semicolonweb.com/html/canvas/demo-seo.html
However, since i purchased the theme, can i buy and push the templates in the existing themes with minimal work or do i need a wordpress developer?
The short answer: no, you can't.
The themes aren't only a PHP template. The also have css and JavaScript files. And also some php custom functions.
The best way to replicate the page you like is with a designer, like Elementor, Divi, Oxygen, etc. Or better yet, with a developer :)

Problem in using Elementor tool for default Home page in WordPress

I'm new to WordPress. I'm learning Elementor. I used elementor on different pages i've made but i don't know how to use it on the which come's as default where the posts are showing.That page is not visible in the pages section of the Wordpress Dashboard. Can someone help me.
Thank You.
If you are using elementor pro you can modify the default pages like the post and product in the templates -> theme builder, and choose single article for example.
Once modified this will modify all the post design.
This option is only possible on the pro version.

What is the relationship between WordPress pagebuilder and themes?

I am trying to understand the relationship between WordPress (default), a theme e.g. Astra or OceanWP, and a page builder e.g. Elementor or Divi? In particular, with regards to widgets.
WordPress comes with a built-in page editor, a default theme and some widgets, e.g. text editor, blog posts. I believe the theme defines where the widgets can go, e.g. in footer, header or sidebars.
But I am confused by the fact that themes (like Astra) and page builders (like Elementor) both seem to provide widgets. Is this correct? I would have thought a page builder would just use widgets from theme?
I am trying to understand if there is overlap in what is provided by WordPress by default, in a theme, and with a page builder, and how they inter-relate. I would be most grateful if someone could please explain.
Thanks,
Ashley.

Is full Angular theme allowed in WordPress marketplaces?

I interested if I spend time and energy on creating a full Angular theme for WordPress, then is it allowed to sell on famous WordPress theme marketplaces?
Since the full Angular theme does not follow WordPress theme hierarchy and maybe there are conflicts with lots of WordPress plugins, going to be accepted these type of themes are very difficult.
Have you seen any such templates?
Is there any way to pass theme review tests for Angular themes?
There doesn't appear to be anything that explicitly prevents an Angular theme.
https://make.wordpress.org/themes/handbook/review/
The main items would be ensuring content creation in WordPress is routed properly and displayed with the Angular theme.
You could use the Xo for Angular plugin to provide all the necessary integrations.
https://wordpress.org/plugins/xo-for-angular/
Xo also allows the dynamic insertion of wp_head and wp_footer into your index so other plugins are still compatible with your Angular theme.
Here is an example theme built using Xo for Angular which I plan to submit to the WordPress themes repository soon.

I am the author of the plugin and theme above.

How to convert bootstrap theme template to wordpress theme?

The template i want to convert is:
http://www.dragdropsite.com/demo/mpurpose-free-multipurpose-twitter-bootstrap-3-template/
it has multiple stylesheets and wordpress doesnt recognise the theme when places in wp-content/themes/ folder
What are the steps involved to convert it?
I wouldn't call it 'converting'. Wordpress themes are not just a simple html/css/js folder structure on the themes folder. Making a website work with wordpress is more involved than that. If you want to do it yourself you will need some experience with PHP. Wordpress's templating system is not very hard to learn but it won't happen on one sit.
I suggest you to take a look at this place so that a skilled person can do it for you

I am in the same opinion with alejandrocavazos. While, it is not easy to create a wordpress theme, converting an existing bootstrap theme will be very difficult too.
But i have an idea. Find a similar wordpress theme. Save it with another name. Page by page edit the theme and copy/paste your theme's content into this wordpress theme. If you make the changes directly on a web server, you can see the changes realtime. I think this is the easiest way to do it.
Good luck.
Yes you can do that, but its quite difficult to convert entire HTML theme into wordpress directly. You need some basic understanding of wordpress and how it works.
There are some good articles available, please go through them. You will surely understand it well and will be able to convert your HTML into wordpress.
I assume here, you are using Bootstrap framework to design your static websites.

To Convert a Bootstrap 4 Template to a Wordpress Theme there is some work involved and there is no easier way to do in few clicks.
