I know wordpress store the page content inside the database. If I wanna to add content and some programming content into the page, how do I do it? Other than going to wordpress dashboard > page > all pages, is there any way to access the page file so that I can directly write the codes to it?
You can use you webhost's file manager, or your own FTP client to modify the files that wordpress is made of. Though I recommend against this; if you want to do work beyond just editing the appearance, you should design your site from scratch. If appearances are all, search for a tutorial on making wordpress themes, then apply your shiny new theme.
You'll use page.php or page-template.php file under wp-content/themes/yourthemeName/
That way you will change the file template....

i want to convert my html website to the wordpress. But can you please talk me that how i can convert and connect the other pages with the main page???
I'm going to start from the point of view you already have Wordpress and are ready to start.
You can't take your existing HTML website and just add it to WP.
What you need to do is to build your own custom theme, that matches your current HTML files, using the already existing WP templates and files.
Best way is to duplicate an existing theme to play/manipulate so that you don't break WP. The last thing you want to do, having no experience, is to mess with and break the default theme and be unable to get it back again without a full re-install.
RE 'connect the other pages with the main page' WP allows you to have static pages and set them as your home page and/or anywhere else you want. With these pages you can also set up different templates within your theme if you need to.
Wordpress have all this help available here:
Wordpress creating static pages and custom templates
Its not really that simple. You should read about WP theming. Here's the start:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development
Check codes from other themes to see how to output basics. Theming has a lot of parts, but to ouput custom html you will need these files:
style.css
functions.php
index.php
single.php
With those you should have an basic blog output with core WP functionality.
The template i want to convert is:
http://www.dragdropsite.com/demo/mpurpose-free-multipurpose-twitter-bootstrap-3-template/
it has multiple stylesheets and wordpress doesnt recognise the theme when places in wp-content/themes/ folder
What are the steps involved to convert it?
I wouldn't call it 'converting'. Wordpress themes are not just a simple html/css/js folder structure on the themes folder. Making a website work with wordpress is more involved than that. If you want to do it yourself you will need some experience with PHP. Wordpress's templating system is not very hard to learn but it won't happen on one sit.
I suggest you to take a look at this place so that a skilled person can do it for you

I am in the same opinion with alejandrocavazos. While, it is not easy to create a wordpress theme, converting an existing bootstrap theme will be very difficult too.
But i have an idea. Find a similar wordpress theme. Save it with another name. Page by page edit the theme and copy/paste your theme's content into this wordpress theme. If you make the changes directly on a web server, you can see the changes realtime. I think this is the easiest way to do it.
Good luck.
Yes you can do that, but its quite difficult to convert entire HTML theme into wordpress directly. You need some basic understanding of wordpress and how it works.
There are some good articles available, please go through them. You will surely understand it well and will be able to convert your HTML into wordpress.
I assume here, you are using Bootstrap framework to design your static websites.
1. How to Build a Responsive WordPress Theme with Bootstrap
2. How to convert a Bootstrap site template into a WordPress website
3. Creating a WordPress Theme From Static HTML
To Convert a Bootstrap 4 Template to a Wordpress Theme there is some work involved and there is no easier way to do in few clicks.
Start by using a starter theme such as Underscores.
-> Migrate your assets (js/css) from static template to the wordpress starter theme directory.
-> Start moving your page sections one by one (header, nav, page sections etc.)
-> To have more control from Wordpress dashboard, make use of plugins like Advanced Custom Fields, Custom Post Type UI and Contact Form 7.

I am a real newbie with wordpress. I need to quickly find out the filename for a particular url.
Let's say my URL is
http://example.co.uk/account/membership-levels/
Where will the .php or .html file most likely be? In themes folder?

Thanks for your help.
Wordpress doesn't have a 1:1 relation between content and templates. On some minimalist themes you could have a single php template in your themes folder (wp-content/themes/themename/single.php) to display all your articles.
Depending on your permalink structure, that link you are asking about is probably rendered using the page.php template, and if it isn't, then single.php should be the one. The only reason for editing a template is when you need to change the structure of all your posts. If you only need to edit one particular post or page, then you should just edit the content.
To edit the content, you need to log into your dashboard (wp-admin) and look for that entry among the pages or posts section.
Many themes will show an edit icon next to the posts title if you read it while logged on your dashboard, so you can skip searching for it in the backend.
I have been trying to figure this out now for a while but there but I haven't found any conclusive answer yet. I want to add some pages to wordpress that are static. I need to include JS script that is from a third-party login. Using JS, HTML, CSS. Very simple and basis login.
So normally what I do is create a page, empty, attach a template and put the JS/HTML/CSS/Text into that template.
However, it seems weird to create an empty page in a CMS. Is there another way, a proper way, of adding a normal page into wordpress without using the static PAGES option in the CMS?
You could just create the page and add a link to it from your WP-site. But this is only if you don't need any of the wp-functions. Also it won't show up at all in your wp-admin dashboard.
I have a wordpress site and a phpbb3 site, I want to use the wordpress navigation(menu) in the phpbb3 site also.
Since the Menus will be changing in constantly (I use Wp-Menus) I do not just want to copy and paste the HTML code.
Please Help!
The easiest way to do this would be to copy the HTML/CSS and then fetch menu items from the WP database. Involving Wordpress would only make this more advanced and add more overhead.
