I came across a Wordpress page at http://www.houseofbeef.net/menu that has a tabbed menu. I'm not a Wordpress guy and I wondered how hard this was to do in WordPress. I have the "WordPress - the missing manual" book and didn't see anything like it there.
Is there a widget or plugin that sets this up to make it easy?
I'm not asking for the code to do this, just is it simple? (Possible answers: "Yes, you can use Widget A or Plugin B" or, "No, it's not simple. You have to use custom HTML.")
Thanks for any information.
They are likely using jQuery UI Tabs.
I highly doubt they linked WP menus to the tabs - it's more likely they went the straight HTML route. All you need to do is include the javascript and set up the html as the demo shows on the included page.

I am trying to implement a simple one page -no blog- WordPress theme using a bootstrap template. I have an aside with three social links -facebook, twitter, Instagram- in the header.
I want to be able to make it so not only are these able to put truned on or off in by the user through the wp admin dashboard, but also the links to those sites able to be put in through said dashboard.
I am using udnerscores as a starter theme. How do I go about doing what I am looking to do?
This can be achieved using the Customizer API. That would be my recommendation. There is a lot of really good documentation on how to use that here. It also includes a whole bunch of sample code. Give that a look.
Greetings to developers community.
I'm new(beginner) on wordpress developing. I wanted to challenge myself and try to build a wordpress theme from an existing Static Website, (HTML to WordPress).
I've come across a problem or better to say I'm not having an idea of what to do on this step of development and wanted to ask for any advice or references on how to manage dynamic content on pages. What I want is: From the Dashboard if a user want to edit the content of a page how can he achieve it and do it without wanting him to go over the code. I am going to post a screenshot because I might not be cleared of what I want.

So those description how should be inserted on the page and be modified later if wanted without braking the style or model of the page?
I've tried Custom Fields but WordPress has a limit and can't add as many as I want and the list of custom fields went large.
Thank you in advance.
Your issue is easily solvable with a dynamic content plugin. you can try "Dynamic Widget Content" or If>So Dynamic content. Both free and worked great for me.
I'm creating a WordPress theme that will have general articles and tutorials. The tutorials will look like the rest of the articles, but with one difference: they'll begin with a box containing info like "difficulty level: beginner" or "tools required: Photoshop."
I'm somewhat new to WordPress and I'm hoping someone can help me understand the "right way" or best practices for something like this. I'm tempted to just hard code this info at the top of each tutorial. From what I can tell, other solutions would involve conditional template tags, alternate single-article templates, custom fields, etc. While I'm not averse to trying any of those, I wonder if it's the way to go.
Any advice? Thank you.
Why not use tags?
Taxonomies are probably be the easiest way to categorize each tutorial.
Tags are also included in menu creation (APPEARANCE > MENUS).
So, for example, if you needed to create a menu item for just "Beginners", all articles tagged with beginners would be listed.
Also you can show all the tags in a tag cloud widget which are built into WordPress as well.
I think #manonatelier suggestion is perfect in the context of your question.
In case you want to deal with Custom Fields and Meta Boxes take a look at this class for theme developers Custom Metaboxes and Fields for WordPress.
I want to add a google maps widget to Pages on a Wordpress site. They all have the same Template with a Sidebar but the map will be unique for each. I feel like there should be a way to populate the widget from the edit page screen for that Page. Does each Page actually need it's own Template?
This seems limiting maybe I'm missing something. If the question is unclear I let me know but I think this should be something ppl have run up against before.
I would suggest the integration of a wordpress plugin to accomplish this. It will be fairly easy to do.
If you want to do this without purchasing any 'pro' versions of a plugin and don't mind writing some simple code, then I would suggest Simple Google Map. You will have to insert a shortcode into the widgetized sidebar area. Here is the plugin link - http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-google-map/
In order to customize each page's sidebar area, You need to write some code. Please refer to this article which will explain how http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/display-different-sidebar-for-each-post-and-page-for-wordpress/
It involves a simple alteration of your 'single.php' file and the usage of 'custom fields' so that you will be able to do this from the edit screen of the page, just like you wanted to do!
Use a plain text widget for each map and Widget Logic to select the page it appears on: WordPress › Widget Logic « WordPress Plugins
hi to all
i am using wordpress for my site i wanna add accordian menu as a middle content of the index page how it possible plz help.
thanks in advance
Search for a plugin or widget.
If you can find a widget, search for how to make a extra widgetized area. Great tutorials and plugins are all over the web.
If you want further flexibility and you're familiar with code, search for jquery or javascript plugins. They'll give you the code and docs for implementation, and you can put it in your theme files, probably one of your page templates.
