I made a website by wordpress (online). I've tried free news themes but in these themes, slides don't work. And all themes aren't responsive, namely toggle button doesn't work. What can I solve these problems? Thanks in advance
I can recommend you the following site if you want it to be a great WordPress web site. For little money you get great themes here: https://themeforest.net/category/wordpress
Personally, I would recommend you a theme that works with Elementor Builder. These can be edited very easily and are responsive.
Is not meant to be an advertisement but this is my favorite theme: https://themeforest.net/item/jupiter-multipurpose-responsive-theme/5177775
I tried researching it but do not find a direct answer I am trying to move a kentico cms website to wordpress but would like to know if it is possible to copy the kentico theme design to then place it within my new wordpress website?
Thank you all feedback and suggestions welcomed.
Not without manually changing some parts around and adding the WordPress related functions, no.
While you'll probably be able to copy your CSS file, you will have to do the basic WP theme work, e.g. adding the informational comment to your style.css, make sure your header and footer call wp_head() and wp_footer(), add the functions to work with the loop to output content etc.
You can find lots of detailed documentation on creating themes in the codex.
I am developing my own Wordpress theme and I want an image slider on it. I don't want it to be hardcoded, so the user should be available to change images in the admin panel. I decided to give a chance to Nivo Slider Plugin.
So far so good, but how to tell my theme "Use this plugin and place the slider on that specific place"? On the other hand I've read somewhere that it is not good practice to use plugins for developing a theme. So I am little bit confused how to accomplish my goal? I am pretty new in Wordpress and some directions and advices will be really useful for me.
I can advise you to use Revolution Slider, which is for me the best slider plugin in the universe !
I have been working on Wordpress for a month creating themes. Otherwise, when I'm starting a new project, I'm always starting with an existing theme that I am modifying.
What I want, is to clean perfectly a theme and add to it what I need for the website.
But, my Wordpress knowledge aren't enough to do it. So, I'm asking you if you know a great book, website etc, where they are explaining simply how to create a new theme (understand every features of Wordpress, explaining every functions in the functions.php file, how to add correctly Wordpress post content).
Thanks

Start with the codex http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page which is
the online manual for WordPress and a living repository for WordPress
information and documentation.
What I did was create all the files and save them in a folder, then upload them as needed. I copied them from this simple tutorial and although says its to create a designed theme, it has nothing but basic blank theme:
http://blog.spoongraphics.co.uk/tutorials/how-to-build-a-custom-wordpress-theme-from-scratch
You can download simplest possible theme for wordpress here:
http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/simplest
After you take a look at this and create some theme using this simple theme - you will better understand Wordpress Codex, and you can follow #markratledge suggestions about Codex.
Anyway, I decided to not read whole codex and im using this theme ("Simplest") as boilerplate for my themes.
You should check out Starkers by Elliot Jay Stocks:
Intro: http://viewportindustries.com/products/starkers/
Demo: http://starkers.viewportindustries.com/
Github: https://github.com/viewportindustries/starkers
It helped me out a bunch of times to start from scratch. It has the basic files and no CSS.
the wordpress.org will be your best starting point, for your
(understand every features of Wordpress, explaining every functions in the functions.php file, how to add correctly Wordpress post content).
You can make WordPress themes from the scratch by following some methods
By using Youtube, but that'll be not very professional
By using Google, yes you will find many sites that will show you the process and this is efficient and free
By using Udemy or Lynda, you will learn about the whole process with the necessary knowledge like the hierarchy of wordpress, tools & standards for wordpress etc.
By using wordpress.org, this is most desirable and professional way of learning wordpress as this is the main place for all the things happening around the WordPress.
I was having trouble with the WishList Members plugin that's already installed on an installation of wordpress I'm working on. I built a new custom theme, but the posts that are members only don't show up after I log in. It says "Posts not found." If I switch back to the previous theme all of the content shows up with no problem and I noted that all of the URLs are the same. Just seeing if I need to add in the registration key to the new theme or if there was something else I was missing.
Thanks in advance for any help!

So I more or less figured out the answer to this. If you're making your own theme in wordpress there's a lot that goes on behind the scenes with the prepackaged themes. Basically, if you just turn your custom theme into a child theme of one of these themes yours will inherit all of the functionality needed for plugins that don't seem to work right. I hope this helps someone down the road if ever they have the same problem as me.
