I want a product catalog without the e-commerce flashy stuff.
I have found one theme so far that has this integrated very nicely
http://themeforest.net/item/nimble-multipurpose-retina-ready-wordpress-theme/3009347
I was wondering if there were more themes out there that had a product catalog similar to this theme.
I tried catablog, works really well, but I don't like how it treats the products as blog posts, and most themes show the "0 comments By username" under the post.
I am looking for themes with a built in catalog, such as nimble. Or really good plugins that get a long nicely with wordpress.
You've mentioned that you're not keen on having products as posts, but I think this is a good fit for Wordpress. Doing it this way will permit you to attach unlimited metadata items to your products, and is in keeping with the 'Wordpress way' of doing things.
If you don't want to see pagination devices on your post browsing pages, modify the "index.php" of the theme, ideally in a child theme, so that the parent theme can easily be upgraded.
If you do not like Catablog just for the reason that it has 0 and 1 comment listed, it is possible to delete that part of the code. If you can post the single.php file then I can help you in removing that part of code.
There are also some other WordPress catalog plugins which are nice to consider. For example eCommerce Product Catalog doesn't show meta data like in a post. It goes a long nicely with WordPress: https://wordpress.org/plugins/ecommerce-product-catalog/

I have done a tutorial about writing WordPress plugins but this tutorial was bad. The teacher said about creating widgets and shortcodes (adding an option to that) but a lot of plugins can display it's options in other places. For example - the Yoast plugin can display it's an option on the page to create a new page. I don't know even how to find information about that. Could you give me a link or said me how can I find that?
I am a food blogger and have recently learnt about recipe rich snippets. I found some material online, mostly being about plugins. I tried using ZipList plugin, which is actually pretty good, but
For some posts, I cannot add pictures within the recipe box and
I cannot add alt text to my pictures (which I find to be quite SEO-unfriendly or is it?).
So, I was thinking of trying to implement it by myself onto my website.
Any good links or advice on how to do it? I tried looking on google but I am only coming up with plugin tutorials.
Yes, your search results are correct.
If you don't want to use a plugin, you have to code it yourself. But this is the kind of thing that you don't want attached to your theme's functions.php ("without a plugin"). Because you have to be able to swap themes and preserve this functionality. Themes are for design and content display. Plugins for functionality. All those themes with SEO incorporated are simply dumb.
So, you end up writing your own plugin. See this article: Create a functionality plugins instead of using Functions.php.
What is a functionality plugin?
Traditionally, if you wanted to create a new function for your blog to add to its functionality, the advice has been to add the code snippet to your theme’s functions.php file. Now that’s all well and good and it will work fine, but what happens when you change your site’s theme (which you can guarantee will happen at least every few years) or the theme gets updated? Since functions.php is located in your active theme folder, if you change your theme, it inherently becomes defunct.
All that being said, what I'd suggest is that you create a Custom Post Type to handle your recipe snippets. You'll have all the default functionality of WordPress customized to your needs. The CPT could have only Title, Content and Featured Image, eventually your own taxonomy (recipe categories).

Or you can use a nice plugin to create your CPT :)
Ok so, TwentyTen is a great new theme, fine.
However, I wish to add more functionality to it and make it like a theme having a magazine style front page (similar to Hybrid News) with mainly a "Whats Hot" Featured Section where I can pick up posts dynamically having the most activity on them (like checking the number of facebook likes or twitter shares or comments etc.) I need this feature as the number of authors on my site will increase and I would need this kind of a selection mechanism to mark out the trending posts.
From what I figured out till now, I would have to add some php to my theme, and do a bit of CSS.
But, How do I go about it? Because the codex is confusing me on this one.
#Pekka is correct. This does require a little more ingenuity than some PHP. Try this plugin out. It's built for 2.9.2, but does work with 3.0 just fine. I'm sure the author will update it eventually since it's a popular one.
This website is based on wordpress, I wonder which plugin/theme are they using to customize wordpress into a gallery/download site.
Many thanks for your help!
I think you can do this with WordPress' thumbnail feature. You can assign a thumbnail to each post. It looks like that, and some tweaking to the theme in the way the posts are displayed and the download button is included.
Maybe there's a plugin to assign a file to download on each post, that's the only part I find complex in this theme.

I have a blog and all posts (i.e. this post) have videos in hidden div.
I want to display this videos in my [RSS feed.] But not regular blog view.4
By the way i'm using Wordpress.
How i can do it?
Thanks.
you might want to take a look at RSS enclosures. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS_enclosure for more information)
here is a code example:
<enclosure url="http://example.com/file.mp3" length="123456789" type="audio/mpeg" />
since you seem to run wordpress, you might want to use specific video-blogging plugins.
you can find more information here: http://www.tubetorial.com/wordpress-videoblogging-the-easy-way/
Since you say you're using WordPress, I'd recommend setting up a specific category for these video posts (e.g. something like "RSS Only") and then edit your theme files so that category never gets displayed. See Exclude Posts From Some Category « The Loop « WordPress Codex for details on what you need to change in the theme files.
