I have to build a custom plugin for a client who is using wordpress. I am dont use wordpress so I dont know how it works. I just want to understand how this will work..
I have to build them a search plugin that will be display inside a page. It will get data from an excel spreadsheet that lives on the server, so they can edit that content and it will pull all that data into the page. Is this a plugin? where do I start?
I will also need to use jQuery to do some more to the data once on the page.
Wordpress plugin develop does take some work, but it is extremely well documented. I would go to the following pages in the order that they are listed:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin
http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API
http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_Resources
Once you've gone through those pages, you should have a lot more information on plugin development and how you might do what you are after.
I had the same question. Looking at some plugins, it seems they are using short codes to place plugins in specific pages. Here's the link in wordpress:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API
For WordPress 6.0 please check this page:

I have to do some work on older version wp site (4.3) whenever I create a new page and try to access it always give me front page. Other old pages are using templates and they are displayed fine but I need to have a page without a template. What should I look at to find the problem in order to be able to create a new page?
This is the mechanish fallback of wordpress. In order to have a theme you just need two files index.php and style.csc. see about template hierachy.
If you need a new page you must:
1) create a file page-.php in the folder of using theme
2) from the Gui of wordpress create new page with title
then if you write the proper html/css you are going to see the template that you have created

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 have a Drupal site and I've have made a decision to migrate it to Wordpress. I want to keep the same design/theme in my new WP site.
I'm wondering what part of current Drupal theme can be used in the new WP theme. Can the HTML/CSS, JS be re-used? If yes, the how?
I don't have any experience with theming so I am curious to know this.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks in Advance!
I see no reason why you couldn't do that the css and js should work fine with no modification at all. You will need to do a lot of work on the html first you will have to remove the php or template tags that drupal uses (Not sure how it does it's templates). Then what I suggest you do is take a look at another wordpress theme and replicate the structure and theme files. Take the html from you drupal theme and add it to the wordpress pages style it how you like, now you will need to do some research on how to get what you need out of wordpress this is often done with php tags so your theme files for wordpress will need to be .php it is best to have a header and footer php that you can include all you links to the css and javascript. Hope this helps comment bellow if you need more help.

On one of my websites, the editor and subscriber have access to Dashboard, Profile and Plugins. This is really strange. There is no access to anything else - pages, posts etc.
Have tried re-installing wordpress and makes no difference.
Not using any user access plugins
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You should test the capabilities of your users and re structure them accordingly. Have a look at The Codex to get a list of capabilities for editors and subscribers.
If you want to use plugins, you can find some that will allow you to edit the capabilities.
else you can then use get_role(), add_cap() and remove_cap() to correct their capabilities.
You should switch to a standard theme such as twenty twelve and see if it woks properly, of it does the problem is your theme and you should contact the theme author.

I'm trying to figure out whether wordpress can handle the following requirements for a site:
incorporating yahoo weather api (and other widgets etc)
testimonial page (user inputs, which have to be moderated back-end and approved)
image gallery (with back-end manager)
video gallery (basically youtube video links - with backend manager)
extremely custom design
I know WP is powerful, but can it handle these requirements? How easy/difficult is it to integrate plugins to handle this functionality?
Thanks.
PS. I know this is not a programming question per se, but there are several such "capabilities" questions on the stack!
Yes WordPress would allow you to do all of the above.
You would have to implement this yourself as a plugin. There maybe a plugin already available. This link should help you get started, http://www.binarymoon.co.uk/2010/03/yahoo-weather-api/
The commenting system would easily allow you to do this
There are heaps of galleries, try nextgen gallery, works great.
You could easily provide an admin panel which would allow users to paste the youtube video code in. See the WP docs. http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_options_page and http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Menus
WP allows custom themes and they are fairly easy to construct with a little programming knowledge. Simply searching on Google will find you a abundance of walk through tutorials.
