I am totally a beginner to WordPress. I have a html site that needs to be converted to WordPress. And it should be fully customizable. I have seen plenty of tutorials but those didn't help. Anyone who can help?
This is not a great question for SO but FYI you need to consider what your site contains. Is it a bunch of HTML pages each of which represents a page with content or a post with content?
Wordpress is a CMS (content management system). It primarily deals with posts (dated items), pages (static posts), and images (media). Think about how your content in your existing HTML site will map to Wordpress.
Finally think about the rationale to move. There is a trend to move away from CMS / Wordpress to static HTML sites (for performance and security). What would you win out of migrating?
You see, more questions than answers. Keep investigating and come back with specific questions.
There are several options:
Use some online converter, like https://htmltowordpress.io/ ( but I guess you'll have do some tweaks after to suite your needs)
Install clean WordPress on your host and search for some good WordPress theme, that could be tweaked to look like yours original site Front End.
Hire a freelancer do do the work for you, It should't be very expensive :)
First of all, You should have a good knowledge of html,php and css.
You can choose to start with one these two of following options.
1, Creating a new theme.
2, Choosing an exixting theme and updating it.
You can find both the above given options at https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/tips-tricks/converting-html-sites-to-wordpress-sites
Hope this will help.

I have a Drupal site and I've have made a decision to migrate it to Wordpress. I want to keep the same design/theme in my new WP site.
I'm wondering what part of current Drupal theme can be used in the new WP theme. Can the HTML/CSS, JS be re-used? If yes, the how?
I don't have any experience with theming so I am curious to know this.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks in Advance!
I see no reason why you couldn't do that the css and js should work fine with no modification at all. You will need to do a lot of work on the html first you will have to remove the php or template tags that drupal uses (Not sure how it does it's templates). Then what I suggest you do is take a look at another wordpress theme and replicate the structure and theme files. Take the html from you drupal theme and add it to the wordpress pages style it how you like, now you will need to do some research on how to get what you need out of wordpress this is often done with php tags so your theme files for wordpress will need to be .php it is best to have a header and footer php that you can include all you links to the css and javascript. Hope this helps comment bellow if you need more help.

I currently have a blog at blogger.com with a custom domain name. I have decided to manage my own blog using wordpress to be able to fully take advantage of all the cool wordpress plugins. Note that I am moving my domain as well. I won't be purchasing a new one.
I experimented a bit and found out that I can replicate the blogger URLs on my old blog and use the same on my new wordpress blog. For example, a Blogger URL for an article would look something like mydomain.com/this-is-my-title.htm. Wordpress url can also be manipulated to look exactly like that.
But still, as a precaution, I want to know if this move can still affect my ranking on search engines (not that there's much to speak of) in a negative way.
Noob with SEO stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
If you do complete replication of all URLs it should not be affected at all. For the URL's that you can't mimic but you know they are indexed - set up your server to fall back to the main page of your blog.

I am making a small blog for someone and they want it in 2 languages. I understand there are plugins for multilingual support, however i have not enough time to test many of them and see which is more suitable. For this reason, i will tell you what i want to do and hope you can give me a few recommendations.
This blog will have some articles in one language, some in another, and some in both. When someone clicks the switch language button, i don't need it necessarily to point to the same post, just switch to a homepage view with only articles in that language. I was having a look at qTranslate, can i do this with it? Do you have something else to recommend me for this type of structure?
qTranslate is the best I know so far, http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/qtranslate/.
An article can be written in 1 ore more languages up to your choice. This plugin is also easy to personalise, setup, use in code and administrate via blog dashboard.
Good luck! :)
WPML has more than 100 thousand customers and premium support, it also handles different specific scenarios such as menu translation, admin options/custom field translation and more.
It works in a different manner than qTranslate - it creates a single post entry for every translated language which makes it easier to add different values (even categories, tags and fields to every translation) while qTranslate is adding some meta tags to the real post and makes it pretty odd technically wise.

I have to build a custom plugin for a client who is using wordpress. I am dont use wordpress so I dont know how it works. I just want to understand how this will work..
I have to build them a search plugin that will be display inside a page. It will get data from an excel spreadsheet that lives on the server, so they can edit that content and it will pull all that data into the page. Is this a plugin? where do I start?
I will also need to use jQuery to do some more to the data once on the page.
Wordpress plugin develop does take some work, but it is extremely well documented. I would go to the following pages in the order that they are listed:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin
http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API
http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_Resources
Once you've gone through those pages, you should have a lot more information on plugin development and how you might do what you are after.
I had the same question. Looking at some plugins, it seems they are using short codes to place plugins in specific pages. Here's the link in wordpress:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API
For WordPress 6.0 please check this page:

I am developing a travels related website using cakephp. I have to put some tour itinerary/special vacation campaign etc. on it almost everyday. The template/format remain the same, just the content changes. So, I am guessing that I can use some content management system like Wordpress/Joomla here.
Till now I had been working mainly on static pages only, but from now I will work on including search functions, forums, members area, polls, etc. in the website.
Can somebody tell me if switching to these CMS technologies is a good idea?
Regards
Joomla would be apt for you. Because Its going to be something like a website. Hence you can choose joomla, also there are lot of joomla templates available, you can customise to your needs.
Wordpress would not be right for you since its a blogging tool. Unless until you need blogging functionality you need not have wordpress.
There is also something like drupal,

Yes, it is really a good idea. Using already built CMS saves time and increases the customization. For Wordpress, there are thousands of plugin which can transform WP into a CMS.
Also, security will be good if a CMS is used. You will get regular updates for stability.
