I'm writing a plugin for a website, and one of the pages on the websites requires a custom template. How can I add a template via the plugin, without having to go into the theme's folder and adding it manually?
Any help would be appreciated.
if you don't want to change the existing theme you can always create a child theme: Wordpress Codex: Child Themes

I'm customizing a Wordpress theme. The original theme has a WooCommerce folder inside like:
/wp-content/themes/az/woocommerce/
I created a child theme and activated it, then copied the WwooCommerce folder to child theme:
/wp-content/themes/az-child/woocommerce/
But web when I customized the child theme WooCommerce folder files there was no effect; the site seems to still be using the original WooCommerce folder not the new version.
Could anyone help me resolve this issue, please?
First check whether do you have any overriding template present. for that see the steps in the image given below.
If there is no templates overridden then refer to this link

Is it possible to create custom checkout page in my theme? I mean to create custom checkout.php document I do not want to edit WooCommerce default theme.
Yes, this is achieved by overriding the WooCommerce checkout.php file in the plugin itself by placing it in your theme's WooCommerce directory. You are right not to want to edit the plugin because any updates will render such changes obsolete. You can see the following files you would want to override here: https://github.com/woothemes/woocommerce/tree/master/templates/checkout
Your directory should look something as follows:
themeroot/
single.php
page.php
etc..
woocommerce/
templates/
checkout/
form-checkout.php
form-billing.php
etc
You can learn more about creating Custom WordPress themes by viewing the document. You will want to duplicate and work of these files to create your custom checkout page.
I have created my own theme in WordPress. In that theme i'm using other plugins ( jQuery Photo slider ). Now I want to use this theme for a different website. Can i save plugins with the theme? First off, is this even possible?
This is my first attempt in WordPress.
You are not allowed to add plugins along with your theme, but you can always send a readme along with the theme, telling the user what plugins you want them to use, or you could just zip the plugins located in the plugin folder and make that as a custom extra choice to apply when using your theme.
I have a client that wants to have a custom form added as a page on his Wordpress site. His site is using the "Genesis" framework and is already using a child theme of "Manhattan". I can create the form as a page template from within the Manhattan directory but if they ever update, the changes will be lost. What should I do?
I suggest you make it a plugin with a shortcode that way you can use it on every page you want. And even posts (which don't use templates)
You also could take a look at form plugins, which are fine if you don't need advanced forms.
As long as you place your template inside the Manhattan directory -- assuming you don't place that directory inside of the Genesis directory -- you won't have a problem with over-writing on update of the Genesis theme. Child themes do not have to be inside the parent theme's directory, indeed, they sd not -- they sd be in the /themes directory. See, http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes
it is a very complex form?
If you add a custom template to the existing theme you may loose the changes when the theme is updated.
If is a simple form, I'd use a plugin like contact form 7, or caldera forms.
If not (or you don't wan't to use a wp.org plugin), you can create your own plugin and register a shortcode, you can write all the form functionality at the plugin and use the shortcode in the WP editor.
This way you won't have any risks of loosing features due to a theme upgrade
