Customising Wordpress Template - wordpress

I bought a Template Monster WP Template in order to customize it. I want it not to have any "blog" structuring. What I mean by that is losing the author name, comments closed notification, sidebar presence in various pages. Does anyone know where I can find tutorials on this or any advise?

Maybe you could create child theme on top of Template Monster and override it
http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

This is what I do -
Open all of the theme's files in notepad++ or another text editor.
Use Chrome's inspect element to select the author name and element.
Let's say it is - <h1 class="author-title">Some Author</h1>
I will then select <h1 class="author-title"> and search all files for this in my text editor. My guess is that it will probably be in single.php
You can than delete or comment out the section and It will no longer appear on the page.

Changing Footer text in magazine pro theme wordpress

I want to change the footer text and add my website name in it, how could I do so? I am using Magazine Pro Theme on Wordpress.
Normally pro themes provide documentation for customizing it. You can find there the changing option. You can also check the theme option for that.
I hope you will get your answer.
I must be present somewhere in the theme customizer. In mostly themes footer text will present in theme customizer under footer option
If you don't find the code in the theme customizer, then another method is to change it from the footer.php file. First of all, login to your WordPress dashboard and visit Appearance » Theme Editor from the left sidebar of your WordPress dashboard. On the right side, you'll see different theme files. From here open the Theme Footer file (footer.php).
Check this image
Now you can change the footer text from here. But before changing it, save the backup of code for restoration in case if you change the wrong code. If you still face any issues, send me the code which is present in footer.php and I'll guide you which code you have to change.

How to override Woocommerce Single Product template page in child-theme?

I have a problem with my theme and I am sick of tired to communicate with the theme support team...so I try to solve the issue myself (if possible).
My problem is: I have some single product layout under theme option but when I try to change none of them work. I could overwrite the style in the child theme (how the information, text...etc will show) but my main problem is the product image. Is it too big and the thumbs appear under the image. I want smaller image box and thumbs on the left side. Is it possible to overwrite this in the child theme somehow?
I am not a professional programmer or web designer, but would be happy to learn :)
Thanks for any help or comments :)
May be you can check it with word press plugins. Here is a link. Before override Woo commerce Single Product Template You can try it with custom css in your theme style.css
Copy this very basic CSS and place in your child theme’s style.css file. Check this link.

Remove text on WooCommerce Shop Page for Product

I'm working on a woocommerce storefront for a client that has a custom-built theme (by someone else) and for the life of me cannot find where I need to go to remove the subtext over the product preview on the main Shop page (the "at vero...")
See below:
Inspect element shows:
When I went into the wc-template-functions.php file I found the product_loop but there is nothing in here that I see generating the paragraph below the product title. Before I write some css to locate the <p> child element under parent woocommerce-LoopProduct-link woocommerce-loop-product__link - is there someone within WC functions I can locate this? The product has no categories or tags as I thought this could be where it was coming from. My Google searches have resulted in nothing specific to what I'm looking to change on the shop page, just changes to the product page which I do not need.
you can simply hide using CSS instead of change in core files

Wordpress Woocommerce texts too close to each other

I have built my online shop in Wordpress, theme Ellie, and using Woocommerce plugin.
Issue is that the texts "View Cart" and "Checkout" are too close to each other in 2 different places: Footer and Cart widget on Shop page. Something wrong there.
Shop page
Footer

Really happy if you can help! I tried to research this but didn't find anything. I'm not a developer so cannot proceed on my own.
This is just small css issue. You can easily solve it by adding some css rule.
You can add following css rule in your theme's style sheet or if your theme supports custom css, then via that feature.
.woocommerce-mini-cart__buttons a.checkout{margin-left:15px;}
"woocommerce-mini-cart__buttons" is the class assigned to 'p' tag which contains both the links. "checkout" is one of the class assigned to the 'Checkout' link.
You can change the value of '15px' to anything you want depending on how much space you want between the two links.
Following is screenshot for your reference. I added the css rule to checkout link in developer console.
Hope this helps.

Wordpress Templates aren't showing up on my Page Options

I'm working on my first WordPress project. It won't be a blog but a CMS to quickly edit content and pages on the site.
I've got the header and footer exactly how I want it by editing them in the Appearance -> Editor menu. Under this menu I see quite a few templates that I could use (screen shot http://i.stack.imgur.com/P7IyY.png), some of which I don't even think I'll need or know where they came from. However when I edit my pages and go to the Page Attributes section there is only an option for 1 template (screenshot http://i.stack.imgur.com/UblzD.png). If I select Default Template as my template for the page, only the header and footer seem to load.
I am pretty new to WordPress. Am I suppose to 'activate' these templates somewhere? I only plan to use a handful of them (index pages, contact pages with a sidebar). What am I missing?
Thank you!
You should take a look at the information posted in the WordPress Codex on template files and the like. This image is particularly helpful in getting an understanding for when certain files are used by the WordPress engine to render pages WordPress Template Files Diagram.
You'll find the rest of the information relating to that diagram on this page.
I experienced this issue when using a child theme. I added a new template file to the child theme but the "templates" dropdown did not show on the page options section of any of my pages. I checked and double-checked the formatting of the template file and that was not the issue.
It turns out that my styles.css document in the child theme was not formatted properly and was missing the "template" attribute that designates the parent theme being extended with the child theme. I update the child theme css document to reference the parent template and voila! The template dropdown showed as expected.
