Normally, I would create the file:
single-{post-type}.php
header-{template}.php
page-{template}.php...
in my folder theme.
But I want to all template files into one folder "templates", What is the solution, somebody can help me?
There are many ways to do this. Perhaps one of the most common is to use get_template_part().
Also, it's worth noting that WordPress will search all sub-directories for page templates, by default, since WordPress 3.4. This only refers to custom page templates, however, and does not include specialized page templates.

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 convert my html website to the wordpress. But can you please talk me that how i can convert and connect the other pages with the main page???
I'm going to start from the point of view you already have Wordpress and are ready to start.
You can't take your existing HTML website and just add it to WP.
What you need to do is to build your own custom theme, that matches your current HTML files, using the already existing WP templates and files.
Best way is to duplicate an existing theme to play/manipulate so that you don't break WP. The last thing you want to do, having no experience, is to mess with and break the default theme and be unable to get it back again without a full re-install.
RE 'connect the other pages with the main page' WP allows you to have static pages and set them as your home page and/or anywhere else you want. With these pages you can also set up different templates within your theme if you need to.
Wordpress have all this help available here:
Wordpress creating static pages and custom templates
Its not really that simple. You should read about WP theming. Here's the start:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development
Check codes from other themes to see how to output basics. Theming has a lot of parts, but to ouput custom html you will need these files:
style.css
functions.php
index.php
single.php
With those you should have an basic blog output with core WP functionality.
A site I work on has a ton of different templates. I'm just trying to keep things organized. I'd like to put all the non-standard templates (IE not single.php, page.php, etc) into their own directory.
Is this common? Doable?
Yep, I believe it's possible. According to this post by Andrew Nacin, WordPress will look for template files in the root folder of the theme and in any (single) subfolder that is one level deep.
So, for example, let's say you have a ton of taxonomy template files like:
taxonomy-{taxonomy}-{term}.php
taxonomy-{taxonomy}.php
... And they're cluttering up your root folder of your theme... You can just throw them into a subfolder (the name shouldn't matter) such as templates_taxonomies/taxonomy-{taxonomy}.php and WordPress should pick them up.
I haven't tested it though, so let me know if it works, I'd be curious to do that myself!
Have fun!
i'm wondering if it's possible to add a php file in your themes folder (wp-content/themes/classic) where the css file is, then link afterwards? Because i'm currently trying to add a register.php into my blog but i still need the header and everything else.
Yes. For example, if you want something like www.yourdomain.com/test follow this steps:
In your theme folder create a php file called page-test.php.
From your dashboard publish a page with the title Test(with no content at all).
Now, when you'll go to www.yourdomain.com/test you will se your page. And in page-test.php you can use all Wordpress functions such as get_header(), get_sidebar() etc.
Yes. What you want is to define a new "page" template, and then to create a new page in your wordpress using that template. Here's the WP documentation on that topic: http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates
Alternatively, you don't have to place it in your theme folder; you can put it in the root wordpress folder and have it function outside of wordpress. Then you can change your theme to have a static link to that page, or link to it in some other manner. It would be more difficult to use the header/footer/sidebar template features, though.
I need to edit an invoice template in Drupal (both php template and css).
I've copied pasted the file in my theme folder, as I usually do to override for blocks and pages templates, but it didn't work.
This is the template customer.itpl.php inside Ubercart/uc_orders/templates folder.
How can I override it without hacking the ubercart module ?
thanks
This template is not the normal Drupal template. In order to change it, you should create a copy of the template in the same folder (Ubercart/uc_orders/templates) and make your changes. It will show up as an option in the settings page (/admin/store/settings/orders/edit) where you specify which template to use for showing the invoice.
devel_themer is good at providing template suggestions for you. Sometimes modules uses a special naming convention.
If that doesn't help you can add your own template suggestion in a preprocess function for the template. See this post on d.o for more info.
According to the ubercart docs you should be able to specify which template files you want to use.
