There is a lot of things you need to do after installing the theme.
After installing new theme you should do the following:
Change default logo to your site logo.
Check what menu items are displayed and manage them in your structure>>menus
Add slider images by checking where to add the images (Read your theme readme.txt)
Add content so as to display in appropriate areas.
Add Products to your site.
Configure home page link.
Configure your categories / popular categories tags blocks.
Configure special offers block. May be you need to create a view with block display.
Place search block in appropriate region.
I am listing few and you can figure out rest if anything is not at its position.
Note: Generally the theme provides you basic regions, templates, css and icons structure, and you have to manage your site content so as to get the look and feel.

I'm very new to WordPress (tbh, it's my first time working with it). And I need to make a website as my school project using CMS. Creating pages with templates is alright, but I have a lot of troubles with buttons. I found this website, and I can see it using WordPress. I need such buttons as on this page https://movie-chooser.co.ua/random-movie-2/ (they appear when you hover over the image). Is this a default option for buttons in WordPress? If not, is there a plugin for this or what is the way to add them on my images?
First Install Elementor plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/elementor/
and go to page when you add button and open page with elementor
and do drag and drop any element like button, space, text editor etc.
You have several ways to achieve that:
Overwritting Wordpress CSS
Using a plugin
Create your own shortcode
1 - Overwriting Wordpress CSS
If you manage to display all the elements using wordpress template, and your only issue is to display buttons over the images, then it should only be a matter of CSS
2 - Using a plugin
The idea here is to find a plugin that help you to create/display the informations you need (maybe you'll need to add functionnality to basic post though custom fields or using a custom post type).
Once you find the right plugin, again if the plugin dosen't directly offert some settings on the design then you'll have to overwrite the plugin's CSS rules to display the elements as you want.
3 - Create your own shortcode
If you're new to Wordpress I wouldn't recommend this method as it is kind of advanced, unless you're comfortable with PHP/HTML/CSS (optionaly JS).
This is the more flexible solution as you can basically control anything, but it will require you to understand some core concepts of Wordpress like WP Query and how custom queries works.
The idea here is to create a shortcode.
THis shortcode refere to a custom made PHP function, in which you can create a custom request to fetch the informations you need to display from Wordpress database, and display it in an HTML structure that you decide.
THen angain, you'll just have to customize it though CSS.
Note : no need to create a whole plugin if you decide to create a shortcode, you can use the template functions.php file for that.
I have just installed WordPress 4.7 and I added some pages.
Then I can see page list in header.
I didn't create any menus in admin panel and why is it?
Do they add menus in header automatically if there is no menu?
I'd say in depends heavily on the theme you're using. If the theme has a feature such as a default menu generated form the entire list of published pages it might be the case.
In order to know which theme you are using, go into the admin then into the Appearance menu and the themes submenu.
If it is a custom theme you bought, you might have to refer to its documentation or go inside the code to check for yourself. If it is a default theme like twenty-sixteen you should be able to modify the behavior from the theme configuration in the admin.
I've been trying to develop my own theme and in need of some help regarding adding content to the footer.
I need to add some text to the footer which could be changed via the admin panel. I know about the Advanced Custom Fields Plugin, but I would like to learn how this can be done without using it.
I've seen theme's where the footer(or other) changes can be made via Appearance > Theme Options section in the wordpress dashboard and I too would like to do the same.
I would be grateful if anyone could provide me a link or help me start with the process of doing so.

You can install the OptionTree plugin for WordPress. Then you can set your theme settings via the plugin, and then when you come to the footer section, you can use the ot_get_option() function to use the user value.
You can also watch this video for more help : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS0WlHITVfc or this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9JQJAu0X30
You can always register your own code for an option page that can contains options for your theme, but this requires deeper knowledge of the WordPress.
I am using a wordpress theme that is placing my pages and catagories in the opposite places I want them (See Below). Is there a way I can pragmatically switch the places where the pages (about, contact, apps) with the categories? I've looked around but cant find anyone who has had a similar issue.
If the theme supports changing menu items, then #golddc's answer tells you what to do. But if the theme doesn't support it and you're not ready to develop a theme from scratch, you may be able to modify the existing theme:
Go into the Wordpress back-end and navigate to Appearance > Editor (two options below Appearance > Menu).
Find the file on the right that governs the site's header. This is probably header.php. The right file will hopefully include wp_list_pages(); and wp_list_categories(); somewhere, since these are the functions which, predictably enough, tell Wordpress to list the site's pages and categories, respectively.
Switch the locations of wp_list_pages(); and wp_list_categories(); and see if that has the desired effect.
You can check the "Menu" settings in the WP backend, which you can find at Appearance -> Menus. If the theme supports it, you can create menu items with categories.
Check here for how to use the menus:
http://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Menu_User_Guide
If the theme doesn't support that (although I think Menus is supported) and it's definitely needed, you may have to consider developing your own theme.
I have installed the MediaFlux theme from Mojo-Themes on my website at www.sjsueconomics.org. Here are my questions:
As you can see on the website, the blue menu at the very top of the page currently displays Page Titles. I want to display External Links there instead. How do I modify the code to do it?
The main menu (red text below the logo) currently displays Categories. Without changing the style or appearance, I want to display the Page Titles instead. How do I do it?
Thanks in advance!
The company you paid for the theme provides support, not a community which has no access to this product.
http://wordpress.stackexchange.com ; customizing a paid theme while providing no code (and having no right to provide any code) is not an appropriate subject for a StackOverflow question
if the theme supports custom menus, there ought to be a Menus page in the admin, under Appearances probably, or perhaps Settings. Go there, then create a menu with the pages or categories you want, then tell the theme to use the menu you created instead of the default. If the theme doesn't have such a feature, you'll need a programmer.
