My question might sound stupid but is there any way where I can create a WP plugin which when placed in Plugins folder does not appear in WP Admin Console and WP Admins/Users can't deactivate it from UI?
What you're searching is called "must-use plugin" or "mu-plugin". An mu-plugin is a plugin that is automatically activated when you install it, and it cannot be deactivated.
Basically, an mu-plugin is like a normal plugin. The only difference is that you will install it in wp-content/mu-plugins instead of wp-content/plugins. I wrote a complete guide to mu-plugins on SitePoint if you're interested.

I have developed a WordPress site using custom HTML using plugins like ACF Pro, Contact Form 7, and woocommerce. Now I want to export the complete theme and install it somewhere else. Please suggest me a plugin and to export that and import to another fresh WordPress. It would have been better if things work exactly like paid plugins, I mean once I install this theme to any fresh WordPress, I get a new option that says install plugins and install demo content. I searched a lot but didn't find anything on how to start this. Kindly help. Thanks in advance.
You need to write functions that will request unnecessary plugins, i think there is no plugin to automate that functionality.
One example for this is TGM Plugin, link.
An easy way to transfer/copy WordPress-Websites is the AllInOne WP Migration PlugIn.
After I installed the demo content in wordpress. I'm not able to see the content. Instead of that, the shotcode is shown.
It could be because you haven't install or activated the plugins came with theme. If your theme use some kind of visual builder to create pages. Please install and activate that plugin.
I am running wordpress on my local using Web Matrix. I am trying to install "Types - Custom Fields and Custom Post Types Management." plugin. But this is taking forever I am seeing message "Installing Plugin Types - Custom Fields and Custom Post Types Management (1/1)" from last one hour. The problem is I am not even getting error or installation fail notification. Anybody faced this kind of issue? and Is there any other way to install this plugin instead of doing it from UI available?
Hi TolerantCoder,
if you are not able to install plugins from admin than you can download plugins from wordpress plugins Directory than extract zip file and add in you wordpress project plugins directory.
I.e: D:\wamp\www\citicollege\wp-content\plugins\
in plugins directory you can copy paste plugins and activate from admin.
In Bluemix they use something called "WordPress Packagist" to install plugins and themes for WordPress. I was looking trough the Packagist to see if the theme I wanted was in there but no luck.
Is it possible to install custom themes in IBM Bluemix using WordPress? and how if possible?
Custom Wordpress themes are possible with Wordpress on Bluemix. Checkout these links (Getting Started and Using Composer to Manage Your Wordpress Application) to install your custom themes. The second link about using Composer specifically focuses on the how to "install your plugins and themes".
If any issues arise or you don't understand these instructions, please comment below.
Thanks!
