How to use drupal modules Properly - drupal

Recently my website redesigned and after redesigning it is on Drupal before it was on WordPress and have i good command over the wordpress but now i am facing the problem with Drupal Modules .so can anybody tell me how to use Drupal Modules Properly.

In case you are using a custom installation profile you should place all modules under /prodofile/your_profile/moduels.
If you don't using a custom installation profile, the most common place to put the modules in is /sites/all/modules
How to use them:
Download the module from drupal.org
Put it in the module folder (see above)
Go to /admin/modules and enable the module.

Drupal 8 install theme in multisite environment

I'm using Drupal in a multi-site environment. I want to create a theme only visible for this site. So I created the folder sites/site_url.be/themes/theme_name. But the theme doesn't appear on the admin/appearance.
I have already a custom theme installed in the sites/all/themes directory, which works fine, and compared all configuration files.
I added the css, js and templates, so it is not empty.
Rebuild the cache several times using drush and the interface
Changed the permissions of the directory
I placed the theme in the sites/all/themes
Checked the ip of the interface in the browser, so I certainly work local
You can find the answer in the following link: https://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/198081/drupal-8-theme-structure-for-multi-site
If you want to check that you have configured and set-up everything correctly for your multi site: https://www.drupal.org/docs/7/multisite-drupal/multisite-mapping-with-drupal (Drupal 8 is at the end of the page)

Alternate way to install plugins in wordpress

I am running wordpress on my local using Web Matrix. I am trying to install "Types - Custom Fields and Custom Post Types Management." plugin. But this is taking forever I am seeing message "Installing Plugin Types - Custom Fields and Custom Post Types Management (1/1)" from last one hour. The problem is I am not even getting error or installation fail notification. Anybody faced this kind of issue? and Is there any other way to install this plugin instead of doing it from UI available?
Hi TolerantCoder,
if you are not able to install plugins from admin than you can download plugins from wordpress plugins Directory than extract zip file and add in you wordpress project plugins directory.
I.e: D:\wamp\www\citicollege\wp-content\plugins\
in plugins directory you can copy paste plugins and activate from admin.

Joomla 3.2 not working with template

I have a joomla 3.2 site. Templates like eclipse,business,smartone are not working with my joomla site. Only 'home' shown, other menus are not shown in my page but default template works nice but i need to work with good template. Please help me!!
Templates are managed by Joomla! in the same way as any other extension. But sometimes you may occasionally run into a situation where you cannot install a template in your Joomla 2.5 site with Upload Package File in the Extension Manager. And again and again you see this same message that the system could not find xml setup file (“JInstaller: :Install: Cannot find XML setup file“). You have to use alternative template installation methods, for example, installation via FTP.
you can use use the following link to install it again manually:

drupal based menu

I built a website with a menu using drupal.
My question is how do I change slightly the design?
Do I have access to the css files? where?
Can I change the design using drupal?
If you used the default Drupal menu, you'd need access to the file system, specifically your site's theme files, to update the design. If you used a core theme, the theme would be in a subdirectory of your site's /theme directory. If you used a contributed theme, your theme should probably be located in a subdirectory of /sites/all/themes.
If you're unable to access the files but can somehow install modules, the following modules may help somewhat:
Sweaver
Live Themer
