Integrate wordpress into your own website - php

I already designed a layout, see the picture below.
I want to integrate Wordpress into my layout, I downloaded Wordpress and already installed it: I put the wordpress folder inside XAMPP's htdocs. My website folder is studentportal.com.
I don't know how to start, I don't have any ideas to integrate Wordpress to my own customized site. I'm new to HTML, CSS, PHP, SQL, and Wordpress.

After installing the wordpress(should mention db name password etc when it's asked or should customise wp-config file in your wordpress folder), you will be able to access the backend of your website through the www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin
There are different ways to create pages and posts(where we enter the data). So it's better to go through wordpress tutorials. I can help you by providing a tutorial file, from which I studied the wordpress(mail me, if it's required: vivek.kjk#gmail.com). There are many sites which provide the tutorials for wordpress. Just try Googling, you will find a good one for sure. So that you can learn the basics of wordpress. Good Luck :)

If I understand correctly you want to make a wordpress website with your layout.
You have to create a own Theme with your layout files
You have to change the name of your wordpress folder to studentportal.com

Edit themes from wordpress

I know we are allowed to used the themes from wordpress and edit them in the theme editor.
However, working in the theme editor is really annoying. Does anybody know if there is a way to download an entire theme file from Wordpress, so that I can customize it in the editor on my laptop?
thanks for the help
You can use Download Plugins and Themes from Dashboard plugin. it's provides a "download link" in theme's detail page.
While #mohammad's answer is correct, I find it best not to clutter a site with unnecessary plugins, what works best is if you login to your server via FTP or your host's cPanel and download the files that way. It keeps your Wordpress install clean of anything that won't be used too frequently.
If you have any questions on how to do this, your host will be able to guide you without issue.
There are multiple solutions to this problem, you can change theme files through the FTP/SFTP account using Filezilla. or you can access your CPanel account go to the File manager and access your file easily. Other then that you can clone your website to your laptop through any migratory tool after that you can configure your website to the localhost and just make changes in Theme according to your requirement from the Xamp/Wamp folder at your system.

Completely move from Joomla to Wordpress using same domain and server

I'm trying to move my site from Joomla to Wordpress. I'm not a developer and I'm not that well versed with Joomla. I've already recreated the entire site in Wordpress and I don't care too much about SEO. I've had a look at the migration plugin in WP but it's not doing what I need it to do.
Currently, my Joomla site address is: http://myfakesite.com/index.php?lang=en. My WP site resides at http://myfakesite.com/wp/
I've already tried the redirection option from within Joomla but it's not working.
I intend to completely remove Joomla from my server and its database too. How should I proceed?
Use WP all import free plugin by Soflyy.
Its very good way for transfer data with true format,
For first you must export all Joomla data in XML file,
I think its easy. You can find plugin from this link

How do I install the Telarus GeoQuote Plugin to my WordPress site?

I have a plugin from Telarus called GeoQuote. It's a lead generation plugin for their agents, and I'm trying to help an agent get the plugin working on his WordPress site. I have all the php files and the css file in a separate folder.
My question is, how do I get it on the website now? I tried the WordPress plugin installer, but it didn't work.
I'm assuming I can upload the files to the hosting server with FTP and then use php code to call on the plugin in the widget area I created in WordPress. But I don't know what kind of code to use.
Can someone help walk me through this or at least point me in the right direction? Thanks for your help.

PHP-based CMS that can use static files as pages and include a forum and blog?

I am currently working on a project documentation site for an OSS PHP project. Presently all of the docs are written in Markdown and stored as separate files.
I would really like to keep the core documentation as static files within the project so that they can be downloaded and used as well as read on my website. But on the website, I'd like to render those pages from within a CMS.
In addition to presenting the code docs, I also want to provide a forum for discussion and a blog.
Wordpress is what I have experience with, but is there a better system for what I am trying to accomplish specifically?
For Blog and CMS I would suggest stick with Wordpress since you already have experience on it. And as far as Forum is concerned I would suggest SimplePress forum. I have been using it on my Wordpress installation and found it really good. You can see live forum on the link above to see how it looks in real world.
Also Wordpress has several nice plugins like Download Manager that will give you ability to manage your downloads/files.
Can't confirm if wp is the best, but it's certainly good enough.
To include your docs, you'll have to write a plugin, not likely that you will find one existing that does exactly what you want.
For forum, you should find a plugin. Google for posts similar to this to choose a best match.
Firstly Wordpress isn't a framework.
I believe CakePHP has the functionality to load hardcoded pages when they're placed in the webroot folder of the app. I'm unsure as to how they're loaded in regards to routing/templating however.
