I am planning to make a website whose theme similar to Wattpad. I would like to know is there any Wordpress theme which is available like that? or having options like allowing users to write stories in my site as well get views and upvotes fo their posts.
I really need it. Thanks!
Themes are not supposed to include special functionality. They supposed to just be the look / style.
You'd need a plugin to show the views & upvotes. There are many of those.
An example It looks like https://fiftywordstories.com/ is running twenty-thirteen theme with a plugin - view source to see the plugin.

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 :)
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 trying to implement a simple one page -no blog- WordPress theme using a bootstrap template. I have an aside with three social links -facebook, twitter, Instagram- in the header.
I want to be able to make it so not only are these able to put truned on or off in by the user through the wp admin dashboard, but also the links to those sites able to be put in through said dashboard.
I am using udnerscores as a starter theme. How do I go about doing what I am looking to do?
This can be achieved using the Customizer API. That would be my recommendation. There is a lot of really good documentation on how to use that here. It also includes a whole bunch of sample code. Give that a look.
I got designs for pages that all look pretty much like this:
page mixed with editable text/photos and custom post types loops
What is the best way to develop theme like this? Let's say client ic complete noob when it comes to HTML/CSS (and even WordPress, which he demands)
The best way to develop themes like this is using Bootstrap + WP Theme Development together.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development
http://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/layout/overview/
If you want to have fragments like jobs or article list within the content you can add this functionality by shortcodes - https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API. Let me know if you need example ( like post or job listing with shortcode ) ?
If you can do some custom page template development for the Wordpress Theme I would highly recommend using Advanced Custom Fields Pro to handle the content entry. It costs $$ but is well worth it. I use this plugin for most of my Wordpress development.
Specifically, I would recommend the ACF Flexible Content field to make the kind of layout in your screenshot. You can code up template parts for each "Layout" and then the user can construct a page with any of the layouts you have configured in any order they want.
I have a working Wordpress site that uses a specific theme, and I need to use a plugin (retribal) as part of the site which returns a list of performers, but it doesn't integrate with the theme styling at all. What I want is for it to look like the rest of the site. I've checked the plugin and under "How Can I Style Performers" it simply says, "Add “rt-performer-” class to your theme styles.
What I actually want is for the plugin to output based on one of the site templates in use on my site - does that even make sense?
I know I hadn't ought to mess with things I don't understand, but I haven't got a clue what to do with the information above. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
