I bought a WordPress template and it adds some new "categories" in the WordPress Dashboard.
(Such as "Works", "Trends", "Fashions", "Styles" in the screenshot)
However, I would like to do some modification to them, is that possible?
Is there a way to manage this "categories"?
Or which keyword I could use to search for more information?
Best Regards
Those are Custom Post Types - see http://codex.wordpress.org/Post_Types for more info.
They're defined in your theme's functions.php file, where you can edit their properties.
Check out this plugin if you want a visual interface raher than messing with code: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/

I'm very new to WordPress (tbh, it's my first time working with it). And I need to make a website as my school project using CMS. Creating pages with templates is alright, but I have a lot of troubles with buttons. I found this website, and I can see it using WordPress. I need such buttons as on this page https://movie-chooser.co.ua/random-movie-2/ (they appear when you hover over the image). Is this a default option for buttons in WordPress? If not, is there a plugin for this or what is the way to add them on my images?
First Install Elementor plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/elementor/
and go to page when you add button and open page with elementor
and do drag and drop any element like button, space, text editor etc.
You have several ways to achieve that:
Overwritting Wordpress CSS
Using a plugin
Create your own shortcode
1 - Overwriting Wordpress CSS
If you manage to display all the elements using wordpress template, and your only issue is to display buttons over the images, then it should only be a matter of CSS
2 - Using a plugin
The idea here is to find a plugin that help you to create/display the informations you need (maybe you'll need to add functionnality to basic post though custom fields or using a custom post type).
Once you find the right plugin, again if the plugin dosen't directly offert some settings on the design then you'll have to overwrite the plugin's CSS rules to display the elements as you want.
3 - Create your own shortcode
If you're new to Wordpress I wouldn't recommend this method as it is kind of advanced, unless you're comfortable with PHP/HTML/CSS (optionaly JS).
This is the more flexible solution as you can basically control anything, but it will require you to understand some core concepts of Wordpress like WP Query and how custom queries works.
The idea here is to create a shortcode.
THis shortcode refere to a custom made PHP function, in which you can create a custom request to fetch the informations you need to display from Wordpress database, and display it in an HTML structure that you decide.
THen angain, you'll just have to customize it though CSS.
Note : no need to create a whole plugin if you decide to create a shortcode, you can use the template functions.php file for that.
I want to create a widget for WordPress that anybody can use (for free) which contains some entertaining content (like a gadget for iGoogle in earlier times).
What I did not find out:
Can a (custom) widget be public/listed, so everybody using WordPress can see and use it?
Or do I need to create a plugin in order for other WordPress users to see and use it?
Since I want to let the users decide, where to put this additional content, how can I achieve this? (i.e. integrate this widget behaviour into a WordPress plugin?)
The basic idea is that we have some interesting content, we want to spread on WordPress for free.
It's up to you wether you want to create you widget through you theme (eg: via functions.php) or via a plugin. If you would like everyone to use it independently from a theme, then the best idea would be to do it through a plugin.
Here is a simple tutorial that explains the pieces of code you need to include either in your theme or in a new plugin to create a Widget accessible via the WordPress's widgets panel: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-create-a-custom-wordpress-widget
The wordpress plugin I'm developing needs to be able to display some custom HTML in posts. I know that this is possible with shortcodes, but unfortunately I'm limited to using 'custom fields'. In order to deside which HTML should be added, the authors set a custom field (using a post-meta-box in the backend created by the plugin).
But I can't find any documention on how to achieve this. It's easy if you edit the wordpress theme, but this plugin should work across different themes.
Anyone able to guide me in the right direction? Thanks!
When a post is cross-indexed, how do you control which custom (category-based) template wordpress displays? It seems uncontrollable at first glance, but I'm sure there's a way.
Do you put paramaters into the query that generates the link to the post, or wha?
Thanks.
If you're trying to display a certain template for a specific category, Wordpress has you covered. Simply make a template with the name 'category-%slug%.php', stick it in your theme directory, and when you view that category, you'll see the template that you created.

You can use the section "Tools - Managing your Blog" on the dashboard and add your favorite posts. Refer to the WordPress codex at http://codex.wordpress.org/Administration_Panels
The admin side of Wordpress doesn't parse tags much. If you want to include a plugins functionality into your theme, you'll have to call that plugins functions directly ... or change the plugin's code to also parse the admin content.
