I'm going to create a new blog based on wordpress. Regarding the database, should I choose utf8_bin or utf8_unicode? I've read the differences between the two, but things are still not that clear to me.
Thanks for your help.
It doesn't matter much if you are just creating a wordpress blog.
But, according to me, you should go with the utf8_unicode.

Actually I have started learning Wordpress. And I am not understanding at all. Kindly dear developers, suggest me a best vedio which helps me understand wordpress from scratch.A full vedio on that.
You chose WordPress because you wanted to skip a lot of code, then I recommend you to buy a theme in https://themeforest.net/, verify that has good reviews, more than 500 sells. after that they have good documentation of how it works.
Choose any of the best seller too: https://themeforest.net/collections/6987239-best-selling-themes-of-all-time-on-themeforest
for any tutorial you can choose any in youtube, find anyone with more than one million views. verify that use the same components of the theme that you want to use. (page builders like elementor, divi or WPBakery).
I am here with a Major/minor issue. I am not a drupal expert but am really interested in becoming an expert someday. I have a challenge which i believe someone out there can help me.
I purchased a premium drupal 7 theme from themeforest. at the moment, my site runs on drupal 7. the question is:
How do i move all my site files, modules, views, contents, nodes, configurations, blocks, taxonomy, rules, images, file systems, reports, in short everything from the current site into the new theme without loosing anything out. even though i may need to do some manual adjustment from the front end. but the migration is key. what are the steps?
This has given me sleepless night and a probably solution will relieve me of this strong headache.
I hereby appeal to all Drupal-guru out there to help me with solving this simple but escalated issue. either a step-by-step approach of a link for a probable solution
I look forward to hearing from you guys soonest.
Best Regards !
In dir "/sites/all/themes" you have your current theme. Or it's empty if you are using some default Drupal theme.
So if I got you right you just want to replace the current theme and keep the rest of the site. In that case copy your new theme in the same dir ("/sites/all/themes"), clear the cache (admin menu: Configuration->Development->Performance) and go to Appearance page (again from admin menu). Now if your new theme is ok you should see it here. Enable it, set as default, clear the cache again if you have to and you should be using your new theme now.
So, basically, you just have to add you new theme's file, clear the cache and activate new theme.
I'm not a web developer, but I've ended up trying to fix a website for a friend of a friend, you know how these things go..
Anyway I've used Wordpress a lot but the guys site is on Concrete5 which I've never used.
I've got it all working locally and made a copy of the theme in case I break anything.
I can't seem to find the individual pages. I have all the templates, full.php etc. But if I want to find the contact us page, where would I find that? I can't seem to find it in any of the folders.
Thanks in advance for your help.
How does Concrete5 arrange it's absolute paths?
Short answer: All page requests are actually going through the one and
only index.php file. Page content is stored in the database, not in
files on the server.
This makes a lot of sense considering it's a CMS.
bit stuck at the moment and searching for an answer is not really paying off.
I am making a new site in drupal. What I basically want to do is...
An end user can come along, set up a shop and add multiple products.
therefor resulting in a site that has multiple shops that are managed by the user themselves.
Is this possible in Drupal?
any ideas or references to point me in the right direction ?
thanks in advance
Drupal can do what you have stated. All you need to do is add functionality to it example http://drupal.org/project/commerce
This will allow you to acheive 90% of what you want.
I would suggest you buy a book on drupal and read through that book first. If you don't know what modules are and are fresh of the boat.
The learning curve is not very steep. If you are a programmer then its going to be fun for you but if you are not then its best just to hire someone.
Let me know if you need more help.

Anybody using wordpress as an article directory? I don't have time to customize it, so if anybody has done it or using any plugin/theme could you point me to it?
Also, is there any alternative script for article directories?
You can use article directory plugin + theme (optional, you can always build your own theme)
Plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/article-directory/
Theme: http://articlesss.com/article-directory-wordpress-theme/
WordPress does this right out of the box. Article Directory... Blog... it's all the same. Figure out your topics/categories and file your posts/articles accordingly. Happy content publishing.
I spent some time looking for a decent directory script for WP myself and never really found anything that was better than merely average.
Your question finally got me motivated enough to make a big list of them, so I made a big post on my blog today with a heap of link index / article site scripts.
Surprisingly I found a pretty decent article/directory solution for wordpress when I was nearly finished. That being said, after looking at dozens and dozens of link/article scripts today, I think there's betters solutions than WP if you're serious about that sort of site.
WSN links, and the article script that same company makes would be my personal choice. The problem with those sorts of sites (compared to a personal blog) is that you're suddenly dealing with lots of other webmasters changing things around on you, so you've really got to have decent tools to check links and make sure it's all OK and what you linked to originally, otherwise you're going to lose surfers.
Hope that helps :)
If you wanna get Teasers or Excerpts on into any sidebars you can use the Category Posts Widget
The link building / article-directory site like adset.org
use the Userpro from codecanyon.net to handle all there member Signups/Login.
Then you can let people write posts direct in wordpress backend, and approve them or you can use a plugin like "Frontend Publishing Pro" also from codecanyon.net, and let users post from front end.
