I'm going to be using WooCommerce and I need to figure out whether my best bet is to create a child theme of twentytwelve or to create a child theme of toolbox.
It's a difficult one to research due to the generic name of toolbox, so I was wondering if anyone had any toolbox/woocommerce experience and could maybe give that combination the green light.
Am fairly new to wordpress development, so any advice would be much appreciated.
The answer is 'almost'.
I only ran into one issue - described and solved here: woocommerce_cart shortcode not working

I currently have a website which was created using the rmarkdown default site generator. I used a bootstrap theme and I like the look of it and I am familiar with it. I am wanting to change the site over to a blogdown website, but do not want to change the look. I know it is possible to use a bootstrap theme with blogdown/hugo, but I have not found very much information on how this can be done. I am very new to website development, so my understanding is very basic. I do know that there is not just a simple answer to this. I am more looking for suggestions for how I should go about this, or resources that I might be able to use in order to accomplish this goal.

To anybody that is interested in this, I found this blog post which helps turn any existing static website to hugo. I haven't completely gotten it all figured out, but it seems to working well so far and with a little tweaking I think I will be able to turn the bootstrap theme into a hugo theme.
I would still be interested to hear additional solutions.
I haven't been able to look this information up online. Perhaps I am not searching correctly.
I'm looking for information on the best practices. I have a custom built Wordpress theme that I want to implement on several similar websites. On each of the websites, I then intend to implement a child theme so that parts of each site can be customized, while still utilizing the parent theme.
I don't want my parent theme to be downloadable for other users, just myself.
I'm sure that "copying and pasting" the main theme from one of the sites to the others isn't best practice, because if an update needed to be made, I'd have to do it across all the sites. Ideally, I'd like to able to apply an update, and then within the dashboard of each of the sites, just "update" the theme.
What would be the best practice for this? Or am I misinformed about how this all works? Any insight would be appreciated.
You can perhaps try multisite - https://codex.wordpress.org/Create_A_Network.
I am writing a simple plugin for wordpress (actually a widget, packaged as a plugin, because reasons). I am using bootstrap to style the widget, because reasons. Now, the problem is that should I include bootstrap along the plugin or depend on another plugin (for example https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-bootstrap-css/). The first is easy, but not too nice way to do it. The second I actually have no idea going about. I have found some plugins (such as Plugin-Dependecies) that could be used for it, but I'd like to do it without the meta-plugin.
Is there a way for a plugin to depend on another plugin out-of-the-box? If yes, how should I do it?
Or if there is a better way to do the styling, what would that be?
Thanks in advance.
Look at this WordPress Plugin Dependencies. It may help you.
I am running WordPress' Thesis. I have installed the LiveFyre plugin. If you see my site, the comments form is not within the framework. I have tried CSS and div classes but can't seem to get the LiveFyre form to show up underneath the blog content.
Does anyone have any suggestions here? There is no widget for LiveFyre, which makes it even more interesting.

Solved my own issue.
So easy I can't believe I overlooked it.
You have to disable WordPress' commenting platform before it will enable another commenting platform.
I need to build a new WordPress site form scratch. So I guess I need a blank theme to do that. I need to know where I can find such a theme like that, and I need a tutorial that can help me to create my first WordPress theme from scratch.
I'm new in that world. So please I need your help.
If you're starting with no WP knowledge, I believe you're better off modifying a blank theme than you are creating one from scratch.
Here is a great tutorial I used when I started doing custom themes. The HTML is getting outdated semantically, but it will teach you all working parts of a WP theme.
As a starter theme I use HTML5 Boilerplate which is full of quality HTML5 and additional features like file caching, cross-browser readiness, mobile device readiness, and file caching, to name a few. Also it's got a minimal default styling.
You may also find the wordpress site helpful. Cheers.
starting with twentyten or twentyeleven isn't a bad option either.
Whatever theme you choice make it a child theme.
It may seem like something complex at first but it will make things easier along the way.
Theme Hybrid has a great blank theme: http://themehybrid.com/themes/skeleton
I have a starter theme on github that was originally based off html5 boilerplate that you can check out.. https://github.com/FernE97/html5-blank-slate
