I am in need of a wordpress plugin that will let clients add images for a slideshow on the homepage, but, is easily integrate-able into my design. (My design is just three divs, so I need it to cycle through the three divs)
I do not have much experience with Wordpress Slideshow plug-ins so I was hoping someone here knew of one that fits what I need!
You can use http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/smooth-slider/
its a pretty easy to use slider

I saw this site with a map showing different parts while scrolling https://www.visitfinland.com/destinations/. I want to make something similar in wordpress ? Do I need some plugin ?
A scan of the website revealed no 'magic' plugins or themes to make such a scrolling map. This is probably a product of a very clever (and quite expensive) design agency. So theoretically, you could make something like this in WordPress, but you certainly need knowledge of css to accomplish that.
I just got started with Elementor and want to create little animated sparkles that overlap a slider that will cycle through images of pastries on the home page. If this is possible, is there a way to make it responsive as well?
Thanks!
If you would like to do this, i recommend you to give a look at Revolution slider plugin. With elementor, with the free version, i do not think such a thing is possible. The free one is very limited and don't really lets you customize elements as you'ld like.
You can also give a look at Divi's page builder, which is not free, but in my opinion is way better and way more customizable than elementor.
I created a photo gallery in WordPress, but the above gallery has a problem due to the interference of plugins. For some reason I can not remove plugins, Otherwise I would have done it.
So I said may be it could programmatically create an image gallery and add it to WordPress.But I do not know how to do it. I also do not know what code to use - html, css, js, php, etc. I only know a little bit about html.
Thanks for consulting me on this

My recommendation is to find a gallery plugin that is compatible with your version of wordpress and has the features you're looking for or use the built in gallery from wordpress if you're using a theme that supports it. Scope it out here https://wordpress.org/support/article/the-wordpress-gallery/.
Hand coding is definitely one route to take but with having a small amount of html knowledge the plugin route may be your best bet until you can grow those other skills.
So I have found a solution for CSS-only Pinterest style layout. I want to use CSS only because jQuery Masonry or whatever just seems less respectable.
I am a complete beginner who has bever coded anything, and I think it'll be easier to just stick to CSS for now and get good in it.
So I want to create a personal website, and I don't mind using JS elsewhere but for the layout I think I want to do it 'from scratch' without cheating with Masonry, and there is a tutorial for this with only a couple problems [cross browser issues and can't order the grids]. http://cssdeck.com/labs/css-only-pinterest-style-columns-layout
This is my question- how do I implement this into a full website?
I know the basic process of writing a website, but I really don't know where to start with making a website using this code. Can someone please give me a step-by-step on how to make a homepage that links to other pages in the website with this?
And how to customise the boxes so that they act as links to other sections of the website?
I want to do it like windows 8 style, where the homepage is made of tiles, you click on a square and it takes you to another section of the website.
HERE is an example of what I am trying to make- http://builtbybuffalo.com/
So in a sense I am asking for a step by step for beginners on how to code the website I just linked to.
Or where to find that info.
Cheers!
I hope this is not too basic to be off-topic, but I am wondering to what extent it is possible to customize WordPress to fit an existing design. I have a design in mind and read somewhere (WordPress manuals?) that it is possible to only manage a small part of a website with WordPress and then slowly migrate the whole site to be WordPress-managed. If one would like to preserve a certain design, is this preferred to tweaking WordPress templates? That is to say, should I start from a website and slowly move into WordPress, or should I start from the WordPress template, and try to tweak it until I arrive at the design I want. Are there any examples of WordPress sites, which fall into light-weight (but image heavy) websites, which exhibit freedom from the WordPress mold? (Is this too vague?)
Generally speaking, I think it makes more sense to start with WordPress from the start if that is what you intend to use at the end. It will be much easier to transition your site into being fully WordPress-managed after you have some small piece of it in WordPress. This is because, while a lot of the design will fit easily into the HTML WordPress with only minor tweaks, WordPress theming is kind of a specific subcategory of its own, and there will be less of a barrier to moving if your start with CSS that is compatible with WordPress.
WordPress also makes it easy to override individual page nodes, so the static portions of your site can be part of WordPress in a very loose sense, and you'll have full control over the markup. It is less to start writing your markup knowing what you've already had to do to get your design to work with WordPress than to transition to WordPress later.
If you are new to WordPress theming, here are some links to get you started:

Your approach depends on the technical capabilities of you to setup two sites that live next to each other.
In general, you'll have to modify Wordpretss theme to fit your design. I prefer something of a skeleton theme - http://themehybrid.com/themes Skeleton/Hybrid one. The thing about this approach is that you'll have to build your design from ground up and fit it into Wordpress way of doing things. Wordpress likes to output HTML with additional CSS styles and it's usually much easier to use those elements then to modify them to fit yours.
My personal choice, I'd start using WordPress right away, learn as much as I can about the CMS aspects, you have great tutorials at WP101 (dot) com then move to create or built your own templates. I'd suggest you first start with a simple template like Twenty Ten and modify it then perhaps you can use Responsive which is my favorite or many others. This 2 sites for example were built in WP
