I am making a small blog for someone and they want it in 2 languages. I understand there are plugins for multilingual support, however i have not enough time to test many of them and see which is more suitable. For this reason, i will tell you what i want to do and hope you can give me a few recommendations.
This blog will have some articles in one language, some in another, and some in both. When someone clicks the switch language button, i don't need it necessarily to point to the same post, just switch to a homepage view with only articles in that language. I was having a look at qTranslate, can i do this with it? Do you have something else to recommend me for this type of structure?
qTranslate is the best I know so far, http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/qtranslate/.
An article can be written in 1 ore more languages up to your choice. This plugin is also easy to personalise, setup, use in code and administrate via blog dashboard.
Good luck! :)
WPML has more than 100 thousand customers and premium support, it also handles different specific scenarios such as menu translation, admin options/custom field translation and more.
It works in a different manner than qTranslate - it creates a single post entry for every translated language which makes it easier to add different values (even categories, tags and fields to every translation) while qTranslate is adding some meta tags to the real post and makes it pretty odd technically wise.

I am totally a beginner to WordPress. I have a html site that needs to be converted to WordPress. And it should be fully customizable. I have seen plenty of tutorials but those didn't help. Anyone who can help?
This is not a great question for SO but FYI you need to consider what your site contains. Is it a bunch of HTML pages each of which represents a page with content or a post with content?
Wordpress is a CMS (content management system). It primarily deals with posts (dated items), pages (static posts), and images (media). Think about how your content in your existing HTML site will map to Wordpress.
Finally think about the rationale to move. There is a trend to move away from CMS / Wordpress to static HTML sites (for performance and security). What would you win out of migrating?
You see, more questions than answers. Keep investigating and come back with specific questions.
There are several options:
Use some online converter, like https://htmltowordpress.io/ ( but I guess you'll have do some tweaks after to suite your needs)
Install clean WordPress on your host and search for some good WordPress theme, that could be tweaked to look like yours original site Front End.
Hire a freelancer do do the work for you, It should't be very expensive :)
First of all, You should have a good knowledge of html,php and css.
You can choose to start with one these two of following options.
1, Creating a new theme.
2, Choosing an exixting theme and updating it.
You can find both the above given options at https://www.elegantthemes.com/blog/tips-tricks/converting-html-sites-to-wordpress-sites
Hope this will help.

I haven't found a single good discussion system that combines the power of a forum with the dynamism and convenience of a threaded, on the fly comment system like Disqus/Slashdot/Reddit.
I am wanting to create a discussion system using Disqus in wordpress that works as a traditional forum on the front end, where users can create new categories and subcategories, which are in turn ordered according to the last replies, in descending order. Currently I'm trying and comparing Disqus with bbPress + Threaded comments.
I did find a previous discussion on stackoverflow, which gave a link to the API for disqus forums.
But I can't seem to find a simple example of a website using it. I really would like to see it in use before I start integrating it into my site! Does anyone know of an example?
Furthermore, will the forum API do what I would like to do, mentioned above? It looks like listThreads might come close, but it's not clear what the difference is between a "post" and a "thread". Also, while there is a create option for forums and a listCategories option, it is not clear how one would create categories and subcategories in the first place. Again, it would all be clear if I had an example to see.
Channels is a python example of how a mini-forum would be coded if powered by Disqus.
GitHub repo: https://github.com/disqus/channels
Demo: https://pycon.disqus.com/
I suggest you to use bbPress forum plugin for wordpress with bbPress Threaded Replies plugin.

I'm making a site for a friend (artist). He wishes to have a gallery. The requirements are as follows:
Allow users to comment:
Registered user - Comment normally.
Unregistered user - reCaptcha comment + link to registration (which should also have reCaptcha, but that's another story).
Galleries should have categories, and each category should have a page of its own, visible in the menu (or a specially constructed categorylist-page.php).
Ability to moderate comments and spam.
I've though of 2 possible things:
Each image should be a static page, which will be a child of its categorizing page.
Pros: Uses native wordpress abilities. Easy moderation through admin panel.
Cons: Possibly add complexity for the administrator (who is not a programmer)
Try to find a plugin to do the job, but so far I haven't found one which answers the requirements above.
I was hoping to get a nudge in the right direction, I'm no wordpress expert.
Thanks in advance.
I think the first approach is best, assuming that you want visitors to comment on individual artworks, and not just general gallery comments.
You might be able to get away with just using Posts and setting the Featured Image, but if you find yourself wanting more flexibility, custom fields, and possibly custom post types and taxonomies, definitely check out MagicFields
As for the commenting/spam prevention requirements, I wouldn't require users to create an account, unless they are already raving fans of your friend's artwork. Instead, I'd:
Pay for an Akismet key, or
Use Disqus, IntenseDebate, or Facebook Comments

I am developing a travels related website using cakephp. I have to put some tour itinerary/special vacation campaign etc. on it almost everyday. The template/format remain the same, just the content changes. So, I am guessing that I can use some content management system like Wordpress/Joomla here.
Till now I had been working mainly on static pages only, but from now I will work on including search functions, forums, members area, polls, etc. in the website.
Can somebody tell me if switching to these CMS technologies is a good idea?
Regards
Joomla would be apt for you. Because Its going to be something like a website. Hence you can choose joomla, also there are lot of joomla templates available, you can customise to your needs.
Wordpress would not be right for you since its a blogging tool. Unless until you need blogging functionality you need not have wordpress.
There is also something like drupal,

Yes, it is really a good idea. Using already built CMS saves time and increases the customization. For Wordpress, there are thousands of plugin which can transform WP into a CMS.
Also, security will be good if a CMS is used. You will get regular updates for stability.
Check this page: Need a simple CMS. Should I customise an existing CMS or build from scratch?

I know the huge community of people behind WordPress has pushed it towards full-blown CMS territory over the past couple years, but I'm still unclear as to what extent. Would it be a good option to handle something like a small biz website with simple shopping cart for example?
Yes, you can use a spanner to bang in screws if you need to, but you might be better reconsidering.
WordPress may well be capable of running a small website with a shopping cart, and that's probably useful for people who have grown a blog up and are branching out into sales.
But why would you choose a blogging platform for your CMS when there are perfectly good CMS systems that target that role?
That depends on how small the site is and your intentions; Wordpress is perfectly fine as a cms. If you want a fairly simple site or need to have it moderated by non-techies, its perfect. Wordpress has amassed a huge amount of plugins, taking it from a blog engine to an entire platform. Here's a very rough power vs simplicity scale:
easiest to use
ascii art
microsoft paint
wordpress
joomla
drupal
self written cms
Tapping out your own html in binary on a telegraph key for each HTTP request
most powerful
Its advisable to use the simplest one that will fit your needs for a long time.
Something to consider—something I've come to notice, at least—is the savvy-ness or level of familiarity the client may have with WordPress. Directly related to it's growth is it's saturation. It's likely that whomever is in charge of managing the sites content has spent some time with WordPress and would be more effective continuing with it.
That said, from what little I've read about WordPress 3, one of the biggest hurdles to clear, custom post/content-types, is present in the core. To what extent, I'm not sure. Probably better to leave that in the hands of a diehard WordPress dev.
It's certainly true that there are dedicated CMS that pack more of this, or more of that, but don't discount the value of experience. The right tool for the job needs to be the right tool for the job.
