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.

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.
what is the best possible way to edit codes of a Wordpress theme of an existing website? Say for instance I have a menu bar with all the features like About Us, Contact, Objectives. But i want to add one more to it(say Gallery). So how am i supposed to proceed?
If you just want to change the content of the website, you don't have to change anything in the theme.
If you are using any GUI for changing just search around. In the wordpress-site you have to go to: My website -> themes (adapt) -> Menu
there you can add or change the entries.
If you have a complete website made with a wordpress-theme on a server you will need some html knowledge to solve this problem. But its not that complex.
Without the code, noone here can tell you the solution.
Okay so my problem is that, I am currently working on a website which is already been created using wordpress. My problem is that when you see the website page, there is all the data and everything is present. But when I come to the backend of the page in wordpress its not showing any content at all. I mean its like there has never been the data at all in this page. Its so confusing. Please answer me this. And kindly remember that I am not a good coder so anything that is related to coding please ellaborate it with examples.
I 've fixed it.
The problem is in charset of db.
Open wp-config.php file and just change charset to utf8 & comment the old one.
define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');
Thanks
Like the other commenters mentioned, you can also insert content into pages on Wordpress with pages on custom themes.
Remember to back up your site before you make any changes.
Try to change your theme by going to 'Appearance->Themes' in the Wordpress admin window and activating a new theme. Head to the page in question and see if the content is still there. If it isn't, it's being added in a custom theme, which is probably what's happening.
If that's all you need to know, you're all set - otherwise, you can use this process to find what's creating the content:
Go to your Wordpress installation directory (you'll know you're there when you see folders like 'wp-admin' and 'wp-content'), then go to 'wp-content->themes' and see what themes you have installed. You can dig around in the php files there to find the content being created. You'll need to play around with PHP if you want to learn more from there.
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....
Is it possible to create an image gallery in wordpress that is managed by the admin via it's own page / panel. I am not talking about creating a new post and adding custom html for each image. I mean actually having a page in the admin that has the ability to upload and manage your images?
If it is possible how do you go about creating a custom page like this? I understand the PHP side of uploading and manipulating images, but I don't know how to integrate it with wordpress. I don't need a full blow tutorial on how to do this, but if you could just point me in the right direction that would be great.
One issue that comes to mind right away, is if this is possible would upgrading wordpress break the code? Since I assume you have to edit the admin files directly and you can't just do it from your own custom template?
From playing around I found NextGEN Gallery (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/nextgen-gallery/) that has a tab in your admin panel. It looks like it would meet your needs.
You can manage all your media from the WordPress Media Library using tags if you install Tag Gallery
It requires the Media Tags plugin but it makes managing galleries so much easier and your using the built in media facilities of WordPress so it's not disjoint from the experience. There is a new version in the works that will offer much more impressive functionality as well.
Hope that helps.
There are a huge amount of image galleries for wordpress already made. Have a quick google for some (search "wordpress image gallery") and see if any of them are suitable (I'll be surprised if one of them isn't).
Failing that, you'll need to create yourself a Wordpress Plugin.
I've integrated ZenPhoto into my wordpress blog. It was pretty easy, would probably take you a few hours. The admin pages are completely separate from the wordpress admin pages, so you can easily give access to only one person.
You can create a custom post type called Gallery to manage create and manage image galleries. The post will have its own "Gallery" panel in the admin section and from there you can add new galleries just as you describe. There are lost of tutorials for creating gallery custom post types.
