I downloaded a Theme called Neverland for my post area. I have two themes, one for the landing page (that I've created myself with html/css and javascript) and another for the blog. this neverland will be on the blog page. I also have a plugin for multiple themes.
The thing is that my blog page looks perfect, but once I open one blog post, it still uses the old layout. I want all my posts to have the look and feel of the new theme. How can I achieve this? thanks!
First of all at a time you can't use two themes, Only one theme you can use it.
If you install and activate the neverland theme then only neverland theme's
desing will be worked.
However I'm sending you a link here you can find the option to understand how to set up neverland theme. Here you can see the demo.xml file import part. You can import the demo file of neverland and see the single post

The site is a charity site, which is expected to have a news feed of goings on within the charity and events. Most of the home page is complete. But I don't know exactly how to write the code for an article in bootstrap, so that when I upload it to WordPress, it will interact properly. Allowing me to create new articles, remove old ones, etc. I either need to find out how to do this, or find out if I can use plugins to give me the same effect. This is my first time using WordPress. If you know of even a tutorial or something that helps with the news feed being built in bootstrap to work in WordPress, I would be over the moon. Thank you to anyone who offers their help!
I've tried to find an answer online but all I get are pre-built news theme suggestions. I guess there just that many it drowns out any answers.
The short answer is no.
A bootstrap theme is just a static page. (HTML, CSS, JS, etc.) But WordPress creates all its pages dynamically. This is because all the blog posts are saved in a database. In order to work with WordPress, you would really need to use a WordPress theme. If you know PHP you could easily migrate your bootstrap theme to a WP theme.
There is even a bootstrap starter Theme which might help you to get started: https://de.wordpress.org/themes/wp-bootstrap-starter/
In this case you would really just need to add your markup, styles and scripts to the project.
I have worked on a highly customized new blog with a custom theme(generatepress child theme) and plugins(elementor) with a few example posts to test it. Then I tried to import posts from my old blog but it just overwrites my theme setup and pages when I only want posts(with image attachments) seamlessly added to my new blog.
Or the other way around, importing my themes and plugins to the old one but that also didn't preserve my themes.
At least importing only posts, theoretically, shouldn't cause trouble as it is a single thing without any configuration to worry about and I have the theme working perfectly at least in my new blog.
In which way can I accomplish this?
I have been working on Wordpress for a month creating themes. Otherwise, when I'm starting a new project, I'm always starting with an existing theme that I am modifying.
What I want, is to clean perfectly a theme and add to it what I need for the website.
But, my Wordpress knowledge aren't enough to do it. So, I'm asking you if you know a great book, website etc, where they are explaining simply how to create a new theme (understand every features of Wordpress, explaining every functions in the functions.php file, how to add correctly Wordpress post content).
Thanks

Start with the codex http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page which is
the online manual for WordPress and a living repository for WordPress
information and documentation.
What I did was create all the files and save them in a folder, then upload them as needed. I copied them from this simple tutorial and although says its to create a designed theme, it has nothing but basic blank theme:
http://blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/tutorials/how-to-build-a-custom-wordpress-theme-from-scratch
You can download simplest possible theme for wordpress here:
http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/simplest
After you take a look at this and create some theme using this simple theme - you will better understand Wordpress Codex, and you can follow #markratledge suggestions about Codex.
Anyway, I decided to not read whole codex and im using this theme ("Simplest") as boilerplate for my themes.
You should check out Starkers by Elliot Jay Stocks:
Intro: http://viewportindustries.com/products/starkers/
Demo: http://starkers.viewportindustries.com/
Github: https://github.com/viewportindustries/starkers
It helped me out a bunch of times to start from scratch. It has the basic files and no CSS.
the wordpress.org will be your best starting point, for your
(understand every features of Wordpress, explaining every functions in the functions.php file, how to add correctly Wordpress post content).
You can make WordPress themes from the scratch by following some methods
By using Youtube, but that'll be not very professional
By using Google, yes you will find many sites that will show you the process and this is efficient and free
By using Udemy or Lynda, you will learn about the whole process with the necessary knowledge like the hierarchy of wordpress, tools & standards for wordpress etc.
By using wordpress.org, this is most desirable and professional way of learning wordpress as this is the main place for all the things happening around the WordPress.
I am a food blogger and have recently learnt about recipe rich snippets. I found some material online, mostly being about plugins. I tried using ZipList plugin, which is actually pretty good, but
For some posts, I cannot add pictures within the recipe box and
I cannot add alt text to my pictures (which I find to be quite SEO-unfriendly or is it?).
So, I was thinking of trying to implement it by myself onto my website.
Any good links or advice on how to do it? I tried looking on google but I am only coming up with plugin tutorials.
Yes, your search results are correct.
If you don't want to use a plugin, you have to code it yourself. But this is the kind of thing that you don't want attached to your theme's functions.php ("without a plugin"). Because you have to be able to swap themes and preserve this functionality. Themes are for design and content display. Plugins for functionality. All those themes with SEO incorporated are simply dumb.
So, you end up writing your own plugin. See this article: Create a functionality plugins instead of using Functions.php.
What is a functionality plugin?
Traditionally, if you wanted to create a new function for your blog to add to its functionality, the advice has been to add the code snippet to your theme’s functions.php file. Now that’s all well and good and it will work fine, but what happens when you change your site’s theme (which you can guarantee will happen at least every few years) or the theme gets updated? Since functions.php is located in your active theme folder, if you change your theme, it inherently becomes defunct.
All that being said, what I'd suggest is that you create a Custom Post Type to handle your recipe snippets. You'll have all the default functionality of WordPress customized to your needs. The CPT could have only Title, Content and Featured Image, eventually your own taxonomy (recipe categories).
Useful links:
Documentation of CPTs
Smashing Magazine tutorial
WP Tuts tutorial
Or you can use a nice plugin to create your CPT :)
This website is based on wordpress, I wonder which plugin/theme are they using to customize wordpress into a gallery/download site.
Many thanks for your help!
I think you can do this with WordPress' thumbnail feature. You can assign a thumbnail to each post. It looks like that, and some tweaking to the theme in the way the posts are displayed and the download button is included.
Maybe there's a plugin to assign a file to download on each post, that's the only part I find complex in this theme.
