what is the best possible way to edit codes of a Wordpress theme of an existing website? Say for instance I have a menu bar with all the features like About Us, Contact, Objectives. But i want to add one more to it(say Gallery). So how am i supposed to proceed?
If you just want to change the content of the website, you don't have to change anything in the theme.
If you are using any GUI for changing just search around. In the wordpress-site you have to go to: My website -> themes (adapt) -> Menu
there you can add or change the entries.
If you have a complete website made with a wordpress-theme on a server you will need some html knowledge to solve this problem. But its not that complex.
Without the code, noone here can tell you the solution.

I am new to the web design, and I using the Bluehost. My question is I want to change the theme that the Bluehost had given to me for the main page to my own design.
So, when I bought the plan for the Bluehost, and they had asked me to set up what I want to have for my website. Then there had few choices for "Blog" and "Professional", and I don't know what is the difference between both of them. Then I had chosen the Blog selection, but it looks not want I want to have. Because I want to use my own design for the pages, not using their themes for my website.
What I want to have is that I don't want to have a blog for my website, and I want to write the HTML, CSS, and javascript codes and design the page by myself, then upload it to the Bluehost for my website.
So, how can I change the theme of the blog from Bluehost's system to my own design, I don't want to use their themes that had given. Then how can I upload my code's folder to the Bluehost to design my own page, and I didn't find where I can upload the folder to the Bluehost.
Can someone help me with these problems?
Thank you.

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.
Greetings to developers community.
I'm new(beginner) on wordpress developing. I wanted to challenge myself and try to build a wordpress theme from an existing Static Website, (HTML to WordPress).
I've come across a problem or better to say I'm not having an idea of what to do on this step of development and wanted to ask for any advice or references on how to manage dynamic content on pages. What I want is: From the Dashboard if a user want to edit the content of a page how can he achieve it and do it without wanting him to go over the code. I am going to post a screenshot because I might not be cleared of what I want.

So those description how should be inserted on the page and be modified later if wanted without braking the style or model of the page?
I've tried Custom Fields but WordPress has a limit and can't add as many as I want and the list of custom fields went large.
Thank you in advance.
Your issue is easily solvable with a dynamic content plugin. you can try "Dynamic Widget Content" or If>So Dynamic content. Both free and worked great for me.
I want to do something that is not offered in the basic theme options and would like to edit some backend code. Can someone tell me if this is possible to do via the online editor or if I need to create a local environment?
Here is the current menu showing articles on the site:
Current Dropdown Menu Image
What I am trying to do:
As you can see right now the menu is only displaying the title of the article. My goal is to display in excerpt from the article. This function is available for blog post on other parts of the site and I would like to make it available in the menu location.
Here is a list of the files I am able to edit online via Wordpress:

Is what I need to edit on this list? I know once I find where I need to be working I can figure this out. Since I am totally clueless about wordpress I don't know where to start.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
You can access the backend files. Here is an overview of what the different files are responsible for:

Hey so it is actually very easy to edit the theme files and view them through a plugin called Wp-Editor.
Just install it, activate it and go to Appearance > Theme Editor and then you will see your existing files in your theme.
I have a wordpress site and a phpbb3 site, I want to use the wordpress navigation(menu) in the phpbb3 site also.
Since the Menus will be changing in constantly (I use Wp-Menus) I do not just want to copy and paste the HTML code.
Please Help!
The easiest way to do this would be to copy the HTML/CSS and then fetch menu items from the WP database. Involving Wordpress would only make this more advanced and add more overhead.
