How can you change the large 'Welcome' banner across top of home page.
Also, how can you remove / hide the manage portlets link that is at bottom of home page
Thanks dave
Welcome "hero" banner was implemented using a browser view from Plone 5.0 to Plone 5.0.2 and to change its content you had two alternatives:
Register through ZCML a new browser view with the same name and your theme's browser layer
Create a copy of the hero.pt template renamed to Products.CMFPlone.browser.templates.hero.pt in your theme overrides/ folder. See: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/plone.app.themingplugins#zope-page-template-overrides
However this was considered difficult and will change in Plone 5.03+. In the new way you just need to create a DIV (or any element) with a class "hero" using TinyMCE and all its content will be placed inside the DIV#hero element from Plone's default theme. This can be done from inside any portlet's RichText field too. And if you want different content for #hero in different pages just edit that page or add a portlet there and you're good to go.

I have a Website that is designed on Html and Css. Now I want to make it same as on WordPress. Tell me the best possible options that help me to create same as its style. I also want to add that css on WordPress.
You have several options for that.
1- Create your custom theme. this will allow you to add your HTML and CSS codes.
2- you can use page builders like Elementor and use the HTML element. then by adding your HTML and CSS codes that will render on the page.
Using both above methods will not allow you to edit page as you normally do using page builders. it has to be using HTML and CSS.
3- Re-create your website using page builders on wordpress, it will be easy and fast and you can make future edits easier.
Navigate to your Admin Dashboard.
You can use the WordPress Visual Editor to quickly add HTML files to
your website.
Click Pages in the left sidebar. Next, look at the left-hand
sidebar.
Choose an existing page or create a new one.
Click Add Block.
Add a 'File' block.
Choose your HTML file.
I'm a WordPress developer who's been tasked to create a temporary one-pager to a Drupal site. The client would like to have a simple front page with a logo and 4 external links until their new site is ready. Normally I'd just make a simple index.html page with some CSS and call it a day. But in this case they need some of the sub-pages from the Drupal site to continue to work.
Had it been a WordPress site, I would have just created a new template file and a new page inside WordPress, and made that the front page. But as I have zero experience with Drupal, I don't know if you can do the same thing here.
What is the easiest (quickest) way to make a simple splash-page as the front page, while having the rest of the drupal site continue to work? The splash-page should ignore all CSS and JS from the original theme — preferably have a completely independant section fromt the rest of the site.
In Drupal 7 you have few "levels" of templates. First you have "most outer" template html.tpl.php It contains html head and it is usually common for all pages.
Then inside that html.tpl.php you'll include page.tpl.php. That one should again contain some common page elements, as header and footer, but again, if your design requires that, you can have more than one page template.
Page template will include node template. In drupal you have 2 basic content (node) types but you can create many more of them. Basically for every different page layout you can create new content type (but there also are lot of different ways to achieve the same thing).
Basically you should create new content type called i.e. "splash" (machine name!). Add fields to it if they need to be back-end editable.
Then you should create new template file for your content type. Name matters, so you should call it node--splash.tpl.php . You can find and copy to your theme existing node.tpl.php and change it to your needs.
Keep in mind that when ever you add/remove new template file you have to clear the cache so drupal would scan theme directory, notice and start using new templates.
And if you need also different page template for you page you'll have to put some code into you tamplate.php file:

Drupal template engine design an specific file name for override front page.
You can create the file html--front.tpl.php, and this will be used only for the front page without touch any other page. You can page here your custom HTML and reference css/js.
If the page you need share common styles with the rest of the site, I would recommend to instead override page--front.tpl.php which is basically the content of the page without the tags

I want to create a custom page template in WordPress which shows Image Slideshow and then a video below it and finally some text - till now what I am able to do is play with sidebar, footer, header.
I can either remove them or keep them in my custom page templates but what I want to do is play with the page contents.
The Admin user should be able to see these sections in the Page Editor (WYSIWYG) when they choose the Template from the drop-down, so that they can accordingly add the correct content in correct place holders
Something like the attached screen-shot is showing
Is this possible in WordPress
Yes! It's possible to implement this! you can use https://codecanyon.net/item/visual-composer-page-builder-for-wordpress/242431 or https://wordpress.org/plugins/siteorigin-panels/ plugin.
The first plugin allows you to create different page layout and save it. It also allows admin to choose page layout that admin has saved previously.
The second page builder plugin allows you to create template same way and allows admin to clone one page layout to another one.
Hope this will help you!
I've not used joomla much before. I'm trying to just get one page of a site that uses a Joomla template to have a different logo than the rest of the site, or even hide it. I'm mostly a Wordpress developer, so just don't know how this can be done in Joomla.
Is there a way to assign a body class to one specific page in Joomla and have it hide the element?
If you edit a menu item, you want to look under "Advanced Options" and then "Page Display Options". There is a box for "Page Class" which adds a class to the page, so a body class as you wanted.
You can then tweak your template to show different pieces in CSS based on this class.
If you want to drastically alter the page, you can also assign different templates to different pages through the template manager. This takes a little more work (since you have to install and set up another template).
This would be the preferred way to handle a lot of changes so you don't have to have lots of competing CSS based on page classes.
I'm working on my first WordPress project. It won't be a blog but a CMS to quickly edit content and pages on the site.
I've got the header and footer exactly how I want it by editing them in the Appearance -> Editor menu. Under this menu I see quite a few templates that I could use (screen shot http://i.stack.imgur.com/P7IyY.png), some of which I don't even think I'll need or know where they came from. However when I edit my pages and go to the Page Attributes section there is only an option for 1 template (screenshot http://i.stack.imgur.com/UblzD.png). If I select Default Template as my template for the page, only the header and footer seem to load.
I am pretty new to WordPress. Am I suppose to 'activate' these templates somewhere? I only plan to use a handful of them (index pages, contact pages with a sidebar). What am I missing?
Thank you!
You should take a look at the information posted in the WordPress Codex on template files and the like. This image is particularly helpful in getting an understanding for when certain files are used by the WordPress engine to render pages WordPress Template Files Diagram.
You'll find the rest of the information relating to that diagram on this page.
I experienced this issue when using a child theme. I added a new template file to the child theme but the "templates" dropdown did not show on the page options section of any of my pages. I checked and double-checked the formatting of the template file and that was not the issue.
It turns out that my styles.css document in the child theme was not formatted properly and was missing the "template" attribute that designates the parent theme being extended with the child theme. I update the child theme css document to reference the parent template and voila! The template dropdown showed as expected.
