For a new Wordpress plugin development, I would like to add few custom fields in the exiting setting page of COD.
The examples I have found so far, most of them are creating a new setting page and adding setting fields there.
However I want to use existing COD setting page and add few more fields on the same setting page. How to achieve that ?
Edit:
Please note that I am trying to achieve that by writing a Wordpress plugin. I understand that it requires to use various Wordpress functions like register_setting(), setting_fields(), add_setting_section() etc. But the sequence they should be called is confusing. It is helpful if a sample example is provided.
There are some important links that describe how to add new menu-page/submenu-page/options etc :

Edit : the thing I was looking for is called Custom Post Type in the WordPress World
Disclaimer: it is my first steps with WordPress and I realize I do not have the right vocabulary to make a proper google search, so please excuse me if this answer has been already asked many times ...
I'm working on a website that use an old preexisting WordPress as headless CMS.
On this new website, I need to display some "job offers"
On the preexisting WordPress, those job offers are just HTML blocks embedded in a page. So I can't get only those without having the embedded page HTML and CSS
If I could have created a custom REST API to get those "job offers", I would have said that those resources would look like this :
{
title : string,
description: string
}
My first idea would be to create a WordPress custom end point, but I do not know if it is possible to create custom entities (entries (?) If I take up the vocabulary of strapi)
Is this something that can be done?
I've tried :
basic google search
reading the strapi and wordpress documentation
I expect to be referred to a solution or to know what to search
The thing you're looking for are Custom post types if that can help a plugin called ACF can help with the custom fields.
Is there a way in WordPress to make posts edit themselves automatically at a certain date ?
For example, if we took a post type that can expire, after it expires I want to add a warning bar at the top of the post that says that the offer is ended without deleting the whole post also without doing it manually and also putting it in a special page for ended offers is not an option.
How can i do this ? I prefer doing it my self with code rather then using a plugin.
I have a Wordpress website and want to add custom flow of registration.
The current website has these pages but I am not sure if there is any plugin that has inbuilt such flow feature or how to add this feature.
Any help appreciated.
I had to do a similar modification.
Your case seems the same as mine, its a single form, split onto steps for helping users/validations.
I didn't found any plugin ready for all i needed (the steps thing), and mainly ... hooks to change registration form in wordpress just add extra fields to standard fields, i needed to completly remix the order, so I went the javascript way:
Added my custom css and JS to login/register pages with the action 'login_enqueue_scripts'
Added my custom fields to form using 'register_form' action
Added a class to login body with 'login_body_class' filter, to keep things hidden while JS magic happened;
I'm not sure what's your skill level in JS, but once you got those hooks ready you can make pretty much whatever you want with the register form.
First of all, I am absolutely new to WP.
I am hoping to build a site using WP and figured out how to manage every thing except one feature. The feature that is required is to be able to submit a form with files (images in particular) by a non member.
For example, you should be able to visit the site and fill a form and submit your image along it.
Is it possible to upload files as above? How is this achievable?
Thanks in advance.
If you are not a wordpress coder , I would sugest you use a plugin for that .
Some options :
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/user-submitted-posts/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tdo-mini-forms/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-post-widget/
http://www.gravityforms.com/category/features/
and many more ..
read also this tutorial : http://wp.tutsplus.com/tutorials/allow-users-to-submit-images-your-site/ - it is not for VISITORS but for registered users - but it might help you to understand what is needed to be done .
I would use the Contact Form 7 plugin to do this, as it's extremely easy.
In the plugin settings you'll be able to choose what parts of the form you'd like to include, adding a way to upload is one of those options. You can even limit the type of file that is being used as well the max file size.
Once you create a form in the settings, you just use its shortcode to add it to your Wordpress page.
Yes you can upload file, but it is not a Wordpress specific solution, unless you want to use a plugin. You can code html/php as per usual to achieve it:
http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_file_upload.asp
To embed it on a page, you can create a Page in Wordpress, and assign it a custom page template that you create with the upload form:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates
For a project of mine I need to define an alternative template for single posts.
To be more specific I need each post to be displayed as usual when the website is browsed but I need to create different single pages reachable from different URL to create a sort of a mini-website for each post.
(I'm actually using the WooCommerce plugin and what I need to do is to create a mini-website for each product. This needs to be something "outside" from the main website, with a complete different graphic template and is going to be reachable through a QR-code).
Hope it makes a bit of sense.
Thanks for your advices and/or suggestions.

I think the easiest way to do that is by registering a custom post type for the special posts that get this special "single.php" template. Then, you can simply write a new single template titled post-[custom post_type].php. Any post you register of this type will use that template.
OR...
If you don't actually need them to be posts, it's even easier if you publish them as pages. By default, pages let you assign a specific page template in the edit screen. So you could make any number of custom templates. Just make sure you add the special header:
/* Template Name: Custom Page */
...so WP knows it's a page template.
