Let me start of by saying I am a total noob when it comes to PHP and all the lovely stuff you need to make a real good theme. I got pretty far - mostly thanks to posts here -, but now I am a bit stuck. So here it comes:
I have a index page with multiple loops. Naturally I want to give the user the option to choose which category displays in which loop.
I have found some code already but nothing really that I understand or was able to get to work.
I'd much appreciate a link to a tutorial or a solution here. I am looking of a solution that is code based, in other words i don’t want to use plugins.
thanks!
Okay, after many more hours of just trying and searching the god of google let me to find this page:

it help me and just about all works now!

I'm looking to help a friend who needs a website for his project. I know wordpress a little, but there might be better options.
The needs are:
- have a splash screen prompting for region (like this site)
- have some pages available only for a given region.
- allow the non-it guy to update the contents.
Wordpress is the only one I know as web design isn't my specialty. I'd have gone for a template like Avada, but again, better leads are more than welcome.
Thanks in advance for your inputs!
Ok, the downvote really helped me and certainly will help other users as there's no comment whatsoever explaining why this post is bad. Don't give leads or guidance by the way.
So, whatever. I found a solution to this. The following plugin works like a charm:

A simple purchase gives total control and removes the watermark. The best part regarding my need was the capability to write custom callback code as explained in this article.

I Hope you can understand my difficulty in finding a really good tutorial video for WordPress. Not sure why, but I'm having a hard time finding some basic stuff in WordPress; like how to create a custom template using CSS. I know CSS, and Html just fine. But instead of just googling every little thing I come across ( i would not follow the trend of asking for help for every little detail) I am looking for a complete and quality video tutorial in WordPress, not just for myself, but for my people.
Since beginning training in Java I've learned it's best to learn broader rather than getting hung up on details, which I can research later, and go back to with references. If I understand the whole concept then when I want to do something specific, I at least know where to start looking on my own. With WordPress I don't have a broad view, and that's what I'm aiming for. Please don't just Google search 'Good WordPress Tutorial Video' and post the first decent looking link. I am looking for recommendations through experience. If you know of a good Tutorial Video Series on WordPress please then consider replying. :) Thank you!
WordPress.org not in video but excellent documentation available!
I was just wondering if it's possible somehow (via an addon maybe?) to set the initial focus when the WordPress media library pops up to be the search field?
I have a lot of posts where I need to select images very fast and need to type in the names of the images to find them and this would be exceptionally handy except I've looked on Wordpress.org and a few other places that I know of and can't find a plugin that can do this although someone here might know of one or perhaps a way of doing this?
Many thanks in advance,
Best wishes,
Mark
For anyone interested in a fantastic solution to this a very helpful person showed me how over on Stack Exchange :
https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/265740/can-initial-focus-be-set-to-search-field-in-wordpress-media-library
Sorry if posting here in Stack Overflow was the wrong place as I came across the Stack Exchange site after I'd posted this. Not really sure what the difference between the two places is though?
Best wishes,

Ok, so maybe my search syntax is wrong here, this could have very well been covered in stackoverflow but i've been unable to find anything after hours of searching. Be warned, I am a novice developer when it comes to this type of stuff and would appreciate any guidance, help or pointers to accomplish the goal. I'm open to suggestions of any type! :)
So, I have a site http://www.animetip.com
On this site we have a popular feature called a "jump menu" which allows a user to quickly navigate directly to the page which contains the anime series they would like to see an episode in. Essentially we have every series on the site (over 1000) broken down in an a-z list. When a user hovers over a letter, the menu will drop down and display all series that begin with that letter. A user can then go to the series they'd like to view and click on it to go directly to the page.
The issue with this is SEO. We are being penalized due to the number of links on the page. What we need to accomplish is the same (or better) functionality while reducing the links loaded in the page. If we could come up with a way to create the menu and have the link itself not be served until its clicked on I believe that would resolve the issue.
What is the best strategy for doing this? I am no expert by any means, but I was thinking that putting all the links in mySQL and then calling the link as its clicked would be ok, but a friend cautioned me that it would cause a performance hit. I have also reviewed material which indicates you can do the same thing using an array to store the links and then call them as they are needed using PHP. I grasp the concept of doing that but could use a stub type example to get me started.
The site is built on Wordpress with a completely custom template / theme.
Someone has commented that the topic wasn't researched. Unfortunately I've spent lots of time researching it, the problem is that I think I'm using the wrong terminology to describe what I need to find. If anyone would care to give me the terminology or a good place to conduct further research (even a few keywords!) I will be MORE than happy to go do that.
Thank you for any help or tips to information I can learn from!

Try using ajax so that the links are not visible in the actual source code and while clicking the a,b,c links it will call a separate php file and display the output from the db on the fly. I hope this will resolve your issue. Thanks
I have asked several questions on the buddypress forum but I never get any sort of response or help. I seem to always get a valid well thought out answer on the stackoverflow community, so I am posting my question here too. Here is my original post to the buddypress forum that no one has answered. Seems like a good question that some dev could answer easily. maybe someone here has some experience or guidance and can point me in the right direction.
Hey, i was wondering I found this webpage http://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/custom-buddypress-loops/the-activity-stream-loop/ on editing the activity stream loop with some information on filtering the main activity wall but I am really still confused because It doesn’t seem like all the available options are listed here. For example right under it it says if ( bp_has_activities( ‘type=status’) ) :
Well ‘type=status’ is no where listed on this page and I know there are several other options available that are also not listed. So my question is what and where can I find all the available options for filtering. I am setting up some custom options for my site and I would love some help. I am familiar with php so if there is a file i can look at then I would love to know about it too.
Please Advise Thanks,
All the filters and accepted parameters are on the page you referenced (just scroll down it a little bit). For some reason in the example they use type=status when it should be object=status as that is the correct way to filter for status updates only.
You can always take a look at the actual function itself to see accepted parameters. Buddypress is much better documented in the code than on their website.
