I am beginner for wordpress and woocommerce, my requirement is to create a custom plug-in just same as product plug-in and from preset.
So, I want to know how I can achieve this functionality?
Please find screenshot for same from here:
You could create a regular WordPress plugin. WordPress has a very good Handbook for creating plugins.
Generally you create plugins by hooking in the system. You can insert functionalities (actions) or change content (filters) with these hooks. WordPress itself and most common plugins like WooCommerce have such hooks to customize whatever you want via Plugins.
Be sure to check out the Woocommerce Documention on that topic and also their Hook Reference. Maybe it isn't even necessary to create a plugin … customizations via hooks can also be achieved from within your themes functions.php.

I have woocommerce plugin installed in my ecommerce website. I have made some custom changes in some of file of woocommerce plugin. Now i want to update my woocommerce plugin. If i do by clicking on button update now then i will lose my custom changes which i made. I want to update woocommerce plugin without loosing my custom changes. So what is the best to merge all the changes to newer version and to update woocommerce plugin . is there any way to update woocommerce plugin manually so custom changes still remain there.
As you know its a bad idea having to edit plugin files because of updates.. if the plugin in question uses hooks you can write your own plugin that has your own custom code for that plugin. Here a post that might help you wrap your head around it. https://iandunn.name/2014/01/10/the-right-way-to-customize-a-wordpress-plugin/

I'm creating a website. I really want this certain theme/template I found on envato marketplace (www.market.envato.com) and was wondering if I could use Wordpress.org with it. This is the theme/template, its called metronic.
http://themeforest.net/item/metronic-responsive-admin-dashboard-template/4021469ref=keenthemes&ref=keenthemes&clickthrough_id=545787393&redirect_back=true
I want the certain theme, not only because it has 7 different themes that come with it, but it already has plugins. At least I think. My question is, is if this theme template will work with my wordpress website, and how I can get it on my website using wordpress if so. Also, I was wondering if this template came with plugins. (I'm really new to this stuff, so thanks for helping.)
The theme you have linked to is an admin theme. This is for the wordpress "backend" or administrative pages. Is that your intention? Or are you looking for a theme that is user facing, like to share your content?
www.csgobuddy.com seems to have a simple WordPress theme. It does not have a backend theme like the one you purchased.
Metronic theme that you purchased from Envato is not a WordPress theme, so you cannot use it with WordPress.
For use with Wordpress you can get themes here http://themeforest.net/category/wordpress In the Wordpress category all themes for use with WordPress are listed.
I'd like to ask what is the best way to edit somebody else's plugin in a way if they do the updates and I apply them it won't wipe out my additions?
I was wondering if creating php file inside the plugin folder and adding the plugins functions would be ok?
Editing WordPress plugins is not similar to WordPress themes, i.e. creating a child plugin.
Best way to do is following this tips: https://iandunn.name/the-right-way-to-customize-a-wordpress-plugin/
You can create a fork of the plugin or use custom hooks to edit the plugin.
I have my own custom gallery CMS which is built using php & mysql. Now I want to make this as a wordpress plugin for my client, meaning my custom gallery admin panel will be shown in wordpress as a single plugin.
How can convert my script to be a wordpress plugin? I am new to wordpress so I really have no idea about making plugins, so I'm wondering if I can just add a few lines of code and just by making a few changes to my script I can make it all work as a plugin?
Before you go any further, you should really question integrating your own CMS into WordPress. I've done this before, and it ended up having a lot of disadvantages in the long-term, like not benefiting from functionality and security updates from the WordPress team. The newer versions of Wordpress provide a lot of useful functions to generate your own custom admin functionality within WordPress, including Custom Post Types, Custom Taxonomies, Custom Meta Boxes, etc.
As an experienced WordPress developer, if I had a client that demanded more than the built-in gallery functionality that WordPress already provides, I would go one of two routes, depending on the requested functionality:
1. Add functionality to the existing WordPress gallery via hooks and filters
This site is an excellent resource to see just how deeply you can modify WordPress with hooks and filters:

2. Create a custom post type, client uploads images to the post as normal
This method you would just create a new 'gallery' post type, and the client would upload images with all of the built-in WordPress interfaces. You can add any additional functionality you need with functions like 'add_meta_box'... here's all the relevant links, including taxonomies if you need categorization and a good sort-by-taxonomy tutorial:

http://codex.wordpress.org/Taxonomies

If you're absolutely hellbent on using your existing CMS, you can always load your code into an iframe on a custom WordPress admin page, but I don't recommend it based on experience. Here's a link that will guide you in that direction:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Menus
Just as a post-script, you can do any or all of these things either via a WordPress plugin or a custom WordPress theme. I tend to prefer adding functionality to a theme if I don't plan on sharing it with the world and documenting it, or if the functionality is very client-specific and not reusable.
