I created a wordpress theme.But plugins are not working in my theme.
Is there any function to be registered in order to work plugins?
every theme should have a call to wp_head() somewhere in the section of the output page. This allows a plugin to "hook" into your ```, and for example, output code to load its Javascript
If you have properly installed plugins foremost work is to activate them.
If you have not activated your plugin then go Plugins=>Installed Plugins
There you will find all the plugins you have installed and you can Activate from there, from the ACTIVATE link under the Plugins' name.
In case you have installed and activated the plugins. Then you need you need to use its shortcode on pages to use it.
In case you want to use it in some php file of your theme then you need to place its "php" code at proper place in order to get its result.
Hope you get it how we use Plugins in wordpress.
Also wp_footer() is required on the footer before the end tag of to load required javascript files you enqueued.
Did you make your plugin header right?
Take a look here:

Long story short - where is the template for the listing list items that are shown when the [jobs] shortcode is used?
I have a WP site with WP Job Manager. I am using the [jobs] shortcode to show a list of the jobs that is searchable. I need to modify the template of the listings to show lets say an excerpt of the job offer. I think the template showing there is the content-job_listing.php, but when I modify it nothing happens. So my problem is I can't seem to find the correct template.
I've searched the whole plugin code and can't seem to find anything remote to what is displayed on my page where the [jobs] shortcode is.
So what is happening here you think and where usually is the template I am looking for?
content-job_listing.php ist the corect template for it. What theme are you using? If you are using a WP Job Manager specific theme like Jobify then they probably have a custom template overriding the plugin's template. Then you'd have to look in their documentation to see which file that is.
Where are you editing the file? In a child theme or in the plugin's folder? If you are editing the file in the plugin's folder and you don't see changes then you probably have the file in a child theme as well. The child theme takes priority in that case.
Anyway you should make changes only in a child theme and not in the plugin files to make sure your changes are update-proof. It could also be that you are editing the file in a child theme which is not the active theme in your WP install?
If you haven't done yet check out the official WPJM documentation on this topic: https://wpjobmanager.com/document/template-overrides/
I try to modify a theme in WP and I just noticed that modifying a template part doesn't do anything. How is that possible? Tried on different browser to check if its cached and its not, how do I modify a theme part?
I'm using Academia Theme with LearnPress Plugin. I've made a Child theme and I'm trying to modify a file that is a theme part called content-course_list.php which is exactly the html that appears in the segment I want to modify. I just try to change a simple text that is "Read more". I found it, changed it and it doesn't update. I even put it in the child theme folder to make sure it gets it from there and nothing..
I don't use any cache plugins and the host is local (xampp).
It seems the theme has a "core" plugin (academia-core) as well, where its using some shortcode templates for parts of the website. I managed to find the text by its css class (found with chrome inspect in the page) while I searched in all the php files from theme and plugins. I hope this answer helps someone in the future.

I would like to know how to disable the Easy-Fancybox plugin from opening the images on a specific page. The images on the page below are instead using a filmstrip lightbox from a purchased plugin called 'Photo Gallery'. I require the Easy-Fancybox plugin elsewhere around the website though.

Im new to wordpress plugin development. I want to be able to change the behavior of another wordpress plugin. Is there a good way to do this. ie. Should i create a new plugin to override its behavior, or should I change the plugin directly. If anyone else has some good tips for wordpress plugin development, please let me know.
Thanks
Easiest would be to just edit the plugin's source directly then modify its version number to something high like 99999 so that you won't mistakenly update it through WordPress and wipe out all the edits you've made (that happened to me).
Better would be to make another plugin that will modify the behavior of the original plugin, or code it in the functions.php of the theme if the change is minimal, or just edit the plugin's code then rename it to a different plugin (as plugins hosted at WordPress are GPL2-licensed).
Use, WordPress' remove_action function to remove the original plugin's hooks then redeclare them using your own functions using add_action.
