I'm making a little plugin that will add a new option for responsive. But I have no idea at the moment and I’ve been looking for hooks everywhere, but I feel like Elementor’s team has locked that option. Can someone help me where I could find a hook if it exists at all. So I want certain content to be displayed on a specific screen (which I would add using a code).

First a line about me: I have skills in html & css but no skills in php. I am new to wordpress, but I learned already to build a wordpress theme for my own from scratch. If I had a problem, I always found a solution on the internet. Now I have a problem and after searching for hours, I haven’t found any helpful tips.
I want to make a website with a little webshop inside, only one product for now. I did choose WooCommerce because it is popular and i thought maybe it works like wordpress. Now I have the problem that I have no idea how to design my site. I am sitting in front of countless files with code i do not understand. I want something similar to thie website below. Right half with an image and left half with product title, description and “add to cart” button. No category, no filters, no shop overview. Just a front page with one product.
Is it possible to do the same like designing a wordpress theme like <h2><insert title code></h2> then <p><insert product description code></p> or does WooCommerce works completely different? All tutorials I found were not helpful for me.

There is a lot of question here then I will answer to one of these and I think it's better to create a new discussion for each other question.
If you to have only a product, you can start to put a shortcode to display the product details with button "add to cart" :
https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/#section-12
The next step is to customise the display and for that, the first question is to know if the theme can be updated. If yes, you have to start with a child theme :

I'm trying to get on developing websites on Wordpress for easier management for the future admins.
I have created a bootstrap theme on my own. I got all the pages smoothly into Wordpress and are now easy to edit. However I have this one page which has tables, buttons, glyphicons and once I click the "graphic" view while editing the page it breaks it.
So I was thinking that that won't do and I decided to create a new plugin to fix this problem. A simple plugin which has few textboxes on the admin settings page and then just prints the texts on the page where I want them to go.
However I tried to look for tutorials and I'm just overwhelmed. I have gotten my plugin to work somewhat. It has a admin setup page and it can print customized text to a page where my shortcode is. Thanks to this post!
However, I still don't know what to do from this point on.
My question is: Could you help me by giving me an example code to get the same kind of textbox to my plugin's admin page as I have while editing/adding new pages (with graphic view) which saves the text and displays it on a page.
I have no idea if this is the way to go but I can't think of anything else right now. I was thinking that the settings page has a couple of textboxes and the text in them goes where I want it to go on a page. So the future admin won't see the unnecessary html code and therefore can't break it.
I would abandon the "plugin" idea. There are several more elegant ways to do this besides writing a plugin.
By far the easiest to implement is this:
1. Store the html in a "Custom Field" https://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields
2. Display the contents in your page (or post) template https://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields#Displaying_Custom_Fields
I just need to be pointed the right direction here, I don't expect the exact answer.
Basically, I got a wordpress plugin for woocommerce. It adds a new metabox with options to choose from within the 'add new product' area in admin back-end.
Plugin here https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-incremental-product-quantities/
My theme with other plugins allow me to add new products from the front-end and so I would like to use this plugin also from the front-end.
So how can I bring the plugin to my theme template to be able to choose its option from the front-end? Or what steps to take that I could google some tutorials and take it from there?
I haven't tried anything just yet, I just have no idea where to start.
Any help is appreciated
So I know this is a bit out of ordinary for me to ask a question like this, but for some reason I am just really having an issue grasping this.
My Problem:
I have a responsive layout theme for word press, its clean its pretty. When implementing Google ad-sense into a text/html widget on the right bar it over runs the widget size and over hangs on the right hand side.
My Question:
What will be the best method for getting my ad to look more uniform. Is there a way to select a single widget css? Is there a way to put a div inside that widget and select the parent css from that div? Should I go in and hard code it into the theme?
Additional:
The theme I am using has a built in child theme option which I have chosen to use. When I place the code into the child themes function.php it breaks the theme and displays what I enter as plain text to the screen. Adding opening and close php tags did not seem to fix this issue.
Well it appears once again I asked a question before fully digging my brain into this. Hopefully this will become something useful for someone else.
FIX:
It appears that wordpress assigns a unique ID to every widget that is created.
Created New Text Widget
Wordpress Assigns: text-1
I can now go into css and manipulate this widget directly.
#text-1 {
//do somthing
}
It's always best to avoid hardcoding WP themes as when they get updated your modifications might vanish.
Glad to see you figured it out, I was going to say that you CAN add a div inside a widget and give it a name, which might still be be better than use the WP assigned layer name, as that might change if you were to delete or re-add the widget.
I know that I can go and change my theme's style.css file to change the background color of my widget areas, or if I make a custom widget area, I can give that a specific class and thus a custom background image in the style.css, but I need to give the user control for a few widget areas.
I have searched and searched and have not found any relevant information. Does anybody have any idea how I could do this? I really don't know how to make a widget AREA customizeable, and I would really appreciate any pointers in the right direction or assistance that anyone can provide.
EDIT
To be clear, I know how to add a custom widget area to my site. I have no idea how to add a customizeable option to the widget area, rather than a custom widget. As far as I understand it, widget areas are a set thing, are they not? Any pointer to a theme that does this would be greatly appreciated, as all of my google searches only end up pointing me to how to create a custom widget area, rather than a customizeable widget area.

My understanding of your question is that you are looking for a way to allow the client/admin to modify the widgets that are displayed on any given page/post (rather than modify the widgets themselves).
This is a problem I have tried various ways to solve, never adequately imo. First of all there's the option to create a widget area for each page dynamically. I've seen it in commercial themes, I've done it myself, it is not without it's problems as you can see here - Register new widget position moves existing widgets
There are plugins that can do this, again not without their drawbacks. This plugin;
http://www.codeandmore.com/products/wordpress-plugins/wp-page-widget/
http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-page-widget/
Is great, I love it. BUT it does not work on custom page template, be aware (I've not looked at modifying to allow this, I've seen a post by the developers saying they have no intention of adding this).
There is this plugin - http://strategy11.com/display-widgets/ by the developer of the Formidable plugin, for me it makes the widget area far too complex if you have a lot of widgets and a lot of pages.
Finally there is what I ended up doing recently - using this code by Chris Coyier
http://digwp.com/2010/04/call-widget-with-shortcode/
To do my own custom code using the Wordpress function the_widget (http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_widget) to deploy certain widgets on a page by page basis.
