I want to write a function that let users input their zip code, and then it will pop up the distance from their zip code to mine.
I am not familiar with WordPress, is there any suggestion ?
Thanks
Development in WordPress is typically achieved by creating or modifying a theme.
Here is some good reading material:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development or https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/getting-started/
This might be a good place to start.
You might find that in a plugin possibly a google maps related one (since that's basically what google does - enter address and offer distance & directions).

I want to create a website where people can come and create and download CV or Resumes according to their information. I want to make this with WordPress. How can I do that? Please help me
Welcome to SO, your question is a little broad and not really what SO is about. It's more about solving specific issues here, however I will try to point you in the right direction.
With WordPress what you're referring to is a theme with certain functionality. The starting point for this is either developing your own or purchasing one.
Developing your own starts with the WordPress documentation
https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development
Alternatively to purchase one you can use a number of sites such as ThemeForest.
In terms of the specific functionality of creating/downloading CVs you'll want to start with developing (or purchasing) a plugin https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/.
All of this requires knowledge of PHP, MySQL and at the minimum HTML and CSS. With those three you should be able to create what you need.
Once you get started and come across any challenges please come back with those and the community can help you get past them and learn.
I'm looking to help a friend who needs a website for his project. I know wordpress a little, but there might be better options.
The needs are:
- have a splash screen prompting for region (like this site)
- have some pages available only for a given region.
- allow the non-it guy to update the contents.
Wordpress is the only one I know as web design isn't my specialty. I'd have gone for a template like Avada, but again, better leads are more than welcome.
Thanks in advance for your inputs!
Ok, the downvote really helped me and certainly will help other users as there's no comment whatsoever explaining why this post is bad. Don't give leads or guidance by the way.
So, whatever. I found a solution to this. The following plugin works like a charm:

A simple purchase gives total control and removes the watermark. The best part regarding my need was the capability to write custom callback code as explained in this article.
https://www.fla-shop.com/blog/adding-custom-javascript-to-the-map/
I can code, but don't know much about WordPress internals, so would appreciate any advice or instructions. I am looking for a solution to present the posts on my site in the order of popularity. I am thinking of the following signals:
- number of views
- number of times a download link inside the post was clicked
- number of likes on FB (currently using Monarch plugin)
Please help me to figure out how to get those inputs recorded with WP. When available a no-code solution like plugin will be more preferred unless it has some considerable issues. Examples or tutorials would also be great.
Thank you
You've got a couple of options, first you could use a plugin which would be the easiest way to solve your issue:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-popular-posts/
Or you can take a no-plugin approach and do something similar to this:
http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-track-popular-posts-by-views-in-wordpress-without-a-plugin/
I'm not sure how you'll go finding a solution that will integrate page views with social sharing, that would require popularity being abstracted from page views themselves and another counter being created and incremented via a callback from your social API's.
I want to add a map in a blog which lists locations that'll be better off using the venue's map, rather than Google Maps.
Is there already any tool which helps with this?
So, beside the post's content, there should have a section where you can see the location of the place in Foursquare.
If this needs knowledge of API use, please point me in the right direction towards learning how to handle that.
In short: I'm looking for a way to embed a Foursquare's venue map in a post, within a blog made using WordPress, better if it's using a plugin, but it could be if it doesn't take much PHP knowledge (because I don't have it).
You have several foursquare wordpress plugins, each one offering various features. There is also an article that describe some of them here: http://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/7-wordpress-plugins-for-foursquare-addicts-and-venues/
You'll have more options by just searching for wordpress plugin foursquare on google.
Anybody using wordpress as an article directory? I don't have time to customize it, so if anybody has done it or using any plugin/theme could you point me to it?
Also, is there any alternative script for article directories?
You can use article directory plugin + theme (optional, you can always build your own theme)
Plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/article-directory/
Theme: http://articlesss.com/article-directory-wordpress-theme/
WordPress does this right out of the box. Article Directory... Blog... it's all the same. Figure out your topics/categories and file your posts/articles accordingly. Happy content publishing.
I spent some time looking for a decent directory script for WP myself and never really found anything that was better than merely average.
Your question finally got me motivated enough to make a big list of them, so I made a big post on my blog today with a heap of link index / article site scripts.
Surprisingly I found a pretty decent article/directory solution for wordpress when I was nearly finished. That being said, after looking at dozens and dozens of link/article scripts today, I think there's betters solutions than WP if you're serious about that sort of site.
WSN links, and the article script that same company makes would be my personal choice. The problem with those sorts of sites (compared to a personal blog) is that you're suddenly dealing with lots of other webmasters changing things around on you, so you've really got to have decent tools to check links and make sure it's all OK and what you linked to originally, otherwise you're going to lose surfers.
Hope that helps :)
If you wanna get Teasers or Excerpts on into any sidebars you can use the Category Posts Widget
The link building / article-directory site like adset.org
use the Userpro from codecanyon.net to handle all there member Signups/Login.
Then you can let people write posts direct in wordpress backend, and approve them or you can use a plugin like "Frontend Publishing Pro" also from codecanyon.net, and let users post from front end.
