I have a Drupal site and I've have made a decision to migrate it to Wordpress. I want to keep the same design/theme in my new WP site.
I'm wondering what part of current Drupal theme can be used in the new WP theme. Can the HTML/CSS, JS be re-used? If yes, the how?
I don't have any experience with theming so I am curious to know this.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks in Advance!

I see no reason why you couldn't do that the css and js should work fine with no modification at all. You will need to do a lot of work on the html first you will have to remove the php or template tags that drupal uses (Not sure how it does it's templates). Then what I suggest you do is take a look at another wordpress theme and replicate the structure and theme files. Take the html from you drupal theme and add it to the wordpress pages style it how you like, now you will need to do some research on how to get what you need out of wordpress this is often done with php tags so your theme files for wordpress will need to be .php it is best to have a header and footer php that you can include all you links to the css and javascript. Hope this helps comment bellow if you need more help.

So I'm a bit lost. There are so many places to tuck away custom css between the WordPress customizer and Elementor Pro, and I added some css to style a couple little recurring anchor tags in a file sharing list, but now I can't remember where I put it and can't find it. I have looked in every place I can think of.
I know now that I can put all of my additional css in the theme file (I created a child theme for that reason) but that doesn't help me now to find that one darn line of code to edit it.
I did use the page source and found the css I added but where is the source file located so I can edit it?
I am completely self taught through various resources and prerecorded classes online so I don't know what I don't know. I am pretty good with working in WordPress but I am new to editing the file itself rather than using custom code on individual pages via a plugin.
Since you have not mentioned if the styles are applied to all web pages or to a particular page, I will try to help with the general answer which will help you to solve the problem you are experiencing. There are two ways you solve this issues one is adding styles to Elemantor Pro or by adding it to wordpress directly. To add styles to using Elemantor Pro is by right clicking on the element edit button and go to advanced and in advanced you will have custom CSS, for further info read more.

I am totally a beginner to WordPress. I have a html site that needs to be converted to WordPress. And it should be fully customizable. I have seen plenty of tutorials but those didn't help. Anyone who can help?
This is not a great question for SO but FYI you need to consider what your site contains. Is it a bunch of HTML pages each of which represents a page with content or a post with content?
Wordpress is a CMS (content management system). It primarily deals with posts (dated items), pages (static posts), and images (media). Think about how your content in your existing HTML site will map to Wordpress.
Finally think about the rationale to move. There is a trend to move away from CMS / Wordpress to static HTML sites (for performance and security). What would you win out of migrating?
You see, more questions than answers. Keep investigating and come back with specific questions.
There are several options:
Use some online converter, like https://htmltowordpress.io/ ( but I guess you'll have do some tweaks after to suite your needs)
Install clean WordPress on your host and search for some good WordPress theme, that could be tweaked to look like yours original site Front End.
Hire a freelancer do do the work for you, It should't be very expensive :)
First of all, You should have a good knowledge of html,php and css.
You can choose to start with one these two of following options.
1, Creating a new theme.
2, Choosing an exixting theme and updating it.
You can find both the above given options at https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/tips-tricks/converting-html-sites-to-wordpress-sites
Hope this will help.

I have to build a custom plugin for a client who is using wordpress. I am dont use wordpress so I dont know how it works. I just want to understand how this will work..
I have to build them a search plugin that will be display inside a page. It will get data from an excel spreadsheet that lives on the server, so they can edit that content and it will pull all that data into the page. Is this a plugin? where do I start?
I will also need to use jQuery to do some more to the data once on the page.
Wordpress plugin develop does take some work, but it is extremely well documented. I would go to the following pages in the order that they are listed:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin
http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API
http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_Resources
Once you've gone through those pages, you should have a lot more information on plugin development and how you might do what you are after.
I had the same question. Looking at some plugins, it seems they are using short codes to place plugins in specific pages. Here's the link in wordpress:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API
For WordPress 6.0 please check this page:

Is there any good tutorials to convert HTML+ CSS to Wordpress? not PSD 2 HTML? I mean if
HTML CSS is available we just need to convert a XHTML CSS template to installable Wordpress 3.0 Theme? I'm not talking about PSD 2 HTML.
For example this is free CSS template http://www.freecsstemplates.org/preview/regeneracy/ I just want to download it and convert this css template into Wordpress 3.0 installable theme.
My question is just opposite to this question Convert Wordpress theme to plain XHTML+CSS
First of all you need to understand how wordpress templating system works. The best way to do this is to go through wordpress codex and understand the layout of themes in wordpress.
Even I started converting other CSS templates in to wordpress themes like this. I took out all the basic elements like 'header', 'footer', 'sidebars' and place them in appropriate places in wordpress theme. You can take an existing classic wordpress theme (default) and change it by replacing the elements. Once you start doing this, you will understand how themes work in wordpress.
I don't think there's an automated tool for that.
Wordpress themes are not just Html + Css: you have to call the appropriate Php Wordpress APIs in order to display your posts, categories, comments, etc.
Unfortunately, doing this from scratch is not trivial if you don't have any previous Php or Wordpress experience (it's not impossible either).
A possible alternative is to download an existing Wordpress theme and create a child theme from it, which basically means you can use it as a template and override some of its settings, for instance the Css file. Unfortunately, it is very unlikely that the Css classes used there would match those of your design, so you would still have to do a lot of tayloring.
I found this tutorial. This tutorial is not exactly about converting HTML+CSS to wordpress theme but this gives you a basic idea to create wordpress theme and how it works. After you know how wordpress theme works you can start adding wordpress' template tags and make it compatible with wordpress.
