I'm new in wordpress. I want to add a map in my wordpress site. Which plugin is better for it?
The plugin should be easier to use as I'm new.
Thanks in advance
The plugin I prefer for wordpress google map is http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-google-maps/
It easy to use & can be used in post or page & widgets.
Here you'll find a tutorial on using it http://www.shartd.com/wordpress/advanced-wordpress-tutorial/how-to-add-google-map-in-wordpress/
You don't really need a plugin for this. Installing lots of plugins will make your wordpress install slow.
You can insert the google map script straight into your page or post content, or even your theme template.
If it's just a single post you want it on then don't bother with a plugin, it will needlessly slow down your site. Just get the embed code from Google Maps.
If you want to tag multiple posts the try GeoMashup

I'm creating a Freelancer website using WordPress. For that, I need to create a posting project function for the employers. I have tried many plugins up to now to create this functionality. This function will let the employer post their project/job using a form (a file uploader should also be included) after submitting the posted project/job should be visible on the projects/jobs page of the site. Can someone give me a solution for this on how should I create this and if there are any good plugin in WordPress that I can use to create this? Thank You
Have you tried with this plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-job-manager/.
You can try it. Maybe it'll helpfully for you.
So I am trying to do this and I don't know how. I have a wordpress powered website with a plugin called "frontier-post" in it. This plugin makes a new front-end post submission. The way to use it is to put the shortcode "[frontier-post]" in any post in my wordpress page and that page turns into this.
I want to make a custom page for myself, where I can have the content created by this plugin there too. So I do not want it to be a post in my wordpress, but lets say at a corner in the custom page. I have searched and found these but the suggestions there would not work. I am able to include the wordpress so that the custom page has access to posts, etc. but even using this
echo do_shortcode('[frontier-post]');
would not help me. (even if header is included)
These are the similar things i found:

Need Help for my Custom Page Template
I would really appreciate it if you could help me with this.
If you are creating a PHP page that isn't going to be rendered inside WordPress, you can't use a Plugin of the WordPress engine to accomplish what you are wanting to build. (As the accepted answer to one of the pages you link to indicates).
Instead, you might be able to use the json-api plugin and have your custom page query it for the data. While it won't render the shortcode, it will give you the raw data to work with.

Edit:
Based on a comment, your do_shortcode should work...just try it without the square brackets.
I've started seeing on wordpress theme sites with the ability to preview a theme on the same page, I've tried searching for the plugin but I can't find any - I'm assuming its an iframe but I could be mistaken. Has anyone come across this before and whats the solution as I want to be able to create this for myself?
many thanks
Check out the Theme Test Drive plugin.
Once activated, you should be able to combine the preview URLs (http://www.myblog.com/?theme=Default) with iframes and/or whatever lightbox solution you prefer.
I have a website and a blog. I want to insert an iframe into the website, displaying the latest post from the blog.
So I need just the post content inside the iframe, without wordpress headers and sidebars.
Whats the best approach to achieve this?
Thanks for help.
If the site and the blog are on the same domain, you may be best off querying the latest post using the Wordpress API itself, making it unnecessary to fiddle with an iframe.
How to do that is described in Integrating WordPress with Your Website on the WordPress Codex.
If you need to do this using an iframe, I guess it's easiest to set up a new theme that doesn't display anything but the post itself. That would be some work though.
I recently put together a video tutorial of how I did this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GuocgQlCmw
I didn't get rid of the WordPress sidebar, but the tutorial shows how I used Firebug to get rid of parts of the header and the same technique should work for the sidebar. There are links in the youtube description to all the reference material I used including a link to a blog entry I wrote describing the process.
This doesn't really answer the question but why don't you use Wordpress for all of your website if you use templates you can make it look like a website and also have a blog. Have a look at this site i made using just Wordpress http://www.smkrc.co.uk. By doing this you would have access to the posts and would not need to use iframes.
Is it possible to create an image gallery in wordpress that is managed by the admin via it's own page / panel. I am not talking about creating a new post and adding custom html for each image. I mean actually having a page in the admin that has the ability to upload and manage your images?
If it is possible how do you go about creating a custom page like this? I understand the PHP side of uploading and manipulating images, but I don't know how to integrate it with wordpress. I don't need a full blow tutorial on how to do this, but if you could just point me in the right direction that would be great.
One issue that comes to mind right away, is if this is possible would upgrading wordpress break the code? Since I assume you have to edit the admin files directly and you can't just do it from your own custom template?
From playing around I found NextGEN Gallery (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/) that has a tab in your admin panel. It looks like it would meet your needs.
You can manage all your media from the WordPress Media Library using tags if you install Tag Gallery
It requires the Media Tags plugin but it makes managing galleries so much easier and your using the built in media facilities of WordPress so it's not disjoint from the experience. There is a new version in the works that will offer much more impressive functionality as well.
Hope that helps.
There are a huge amount of image galleries for wordpress already made. Have a quick google for some (search "wordpress image gallery") and see if any of them are suitable (I'll be surprised if one of them isn't).
Failing that, you'll need to create yourself a Wordpress Plugin.
I've integrated ZenPhoto into my wordpress blog. It was pretty easy, would probably take you a few hours. The admin pages are completely separate from the wordpress admin pages, so you can easily give access to only one person.
You can create a custom post type called Gallery to manage create and manage image galleries. The post will have its own "Gallery" panel in the admin section and from there you can add new galleries just as you describe. There are lost of tutorials for creating gallery custom post types.
