I have a wordpress website which includes a member area to allow each user to edit his profile.
For this member area, I found these bootstrap templates that would be perfect for what I need.
http://themeforest.net/item/caplet-admin-responsive-html-theme-/6537086
http://themeforest.net/item/webarch-responsive-admin-dashboard-template/6157416
So, I wanted to know if it's possible to convert or use in some way these templates on wordpress ?
Since I already use a wordpress theme, it would be easier to include the bootstrap template as a plugin, do you think it's possible ?
I also heard of child themes features on wordpress but don't know much about it, do you know if it could be a solution ?
Thanks !
You would have to use those templates and custom make your own theme, which is not an easy task. Themeforest has some nice themes for wordpress based on bootstrap. I would check those out instead.

I purchased a wordpress theme as shown in the url here https://seosight.crumina.net/. Since then i have changed my mind and browsed for ready made templates and happy with the template located here https://themes.semicolonweb.com/html/canvas/demo-seo.html
However, since i purchased the theme, can i buy and push the templates in the existing themes with minimal work or do i need a wordpress developer?
The short answer: no, you can't.
The themes aren't only a PHP template. The also have css and JavaScript files. And also some php custom functions.
The best way to replicate the page you like is with a designer, like Elementor, Divi, Oxygen, etc. Or better yet, with a developer :)
I'm new to wordpress, and I want to know if it is possible to put a theme bought on shapedtheme.com for example on an existing wordpress.
And if so, how to do it. I don't know where to put the code of the theme. I saw the wordpress page builder with text, but I see tags with [] and not <>.
I saw on this thread that pages can be linked to php files. I don't see how.
I have full access to the hosting service's filesystem and can see all wordpress files.
I would also like to transpose the theme header and footer and if possible, use the theme cards to adapt to blog articles written in wordpress.
How can I do this ?
I searched for tutorials on google or related threads on SO with no luck.
Any ressource would be appreciated.
Thanks to anyone who will take the time to read/answer this post.
No, you can't use a non-WordPress theme in a WordPress installation since WordPress will look for specific templates and pass certain objects to the template to be displayed.
You could adapt it to work with WordPress, though. Here's the theming guide to get you started.
But you'll probably be able to find a WordPress-ready theme with the features you want. This is the WordPress theme directory link for themes using bootstrap.
Unless you go for a from-scratch development of a pure php theme, and you need some level of theme customization I'd strongly suggest looking into child themes, as it'll allow you to update the base theme minimizing the changes you'd have to do to yours.
The [ ] syntax you mention are shortcodes, small, safe php functions that can be executed by inserting them in the editor, templates, etc, and provide kind of an api that exposes WordPress or plugins functionality.
And regarding your link, OP already has a WordPress theme, but is looking for a way of using a different, specialized template on specific pages. This template still has to follow to certain WordPress conventions.
I want to change admin theme in wordpress. I have created a simple admin theme plugin (including CSS and js files) to change some simple CSS, however, there are some layout page need to be totally changed. I am wondering if anyone can help me to find an easy to change the whole layout theme without changing source code. Is it possible to overwrite the layout in the admin theme plugin? If yes, how to do it?
You should create "Theme Option Page" instead of creating plugin for Theme setting like colors and other style in wordpress ! For reference :

It will be best option as per my experience in wordpress !
How can I changing posts scheme in wordpress ?
Do I need to use for this plugin?
e.g : here - posts scheme on home page
I'm not entirely sure I understand the question, but will try to answer it.
If you want to change the way your posts look, you can do one of these methods:
1) Use a different theme. Download and install new theme, then activate it.
2) Use custom CSS. Some themes support adding custom CSS. If your theme does not support it, you can make a Child Theme and edit the "style.css" file.
I understanding we may not have a plug-in that would fit in to our requirements in all respects. I am planning to use theme-my-login plug-in. However, it requires fair amount of customization in terms of adding more/custom fields for registering into site. There are some page redirections that I had to insert conditionally.
Can I tweak the code with-in plug-in files?
Should I be extending this through themes files/folders, withough tweaking in the plug-in file structure?
Thanks in advance
It all depends on what you want to change / add, and what the target plugin allows you to do. In general, you can customise some of what other plugins are doing by making use of available filters, actions, CSS, templates, and brute-force WordPress filter/action hooks if that's appropriate.
The Theme My Login, which you reference, presents its various views through templates that you can override either by dropping a customised copy of its template into your theme, or through a filter "tml_template". If what you want to change is the appearance, then you have lots of control through those two avenues. I notice that the plugin has various other filters you can hook, allowing you to customise many aspects of the plugin.
I suggest you start off by reading the plugin's FAQ which points you in the right directions already.
You can tweak the code with anything in Wordpress, but with caution.
If you are customizing wordpress themes, when the themes are updated by wordpress, any customizations are lost.
That is why Child themes are created.

I suggest creating a new plug in based on the customized code of the Wordpress plug in.
You may find this link helpful. It discusses Wordpress plugins and how to create them.
