I am creating a Wordpress theme basically from scratch (used a very basic theme as a starter but changing all the files) I am importing/using the bootstrap3 CDN framework.
I've got the nav and header footer setup done, but I'm relatively new to wordpress theme making and all I want on the index.php is a responsive grid of thumbnails that are the featured images of my posts.
I've looked for tuts/examples but none seem to have both bootstrap and wordpress. Only describe one or the other. Is there any good tuts to accomplish this task?
cheers
Can't help you with the tut, but if you want to create a responsive thumbnail grid in index.php. Then it is easy. As for bootstrap you have to know about the grid system. you can find it here.
And as for showing your featured images as a thumbnail you can use
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
You can find all the details in here.
Hope this helps you to find your solution.
Can't help per say with your problem, but did recently watch this tut "Getting first wordpress website up" on pluralsight (which unfortunately isn't free) which has a whole section on searching for and installing both new Plugins and Themes. Helped me out. Good luck and don't give up

I am building a personal website with Photofocus theme (https://catchthemes.com/themes/photofocus-pro). I completed the website design, now designing a blog page. Actually, I need a custom theme for my blogs ie 4 column thumbnail design. Please see the design below.
Design website link: https://blog.bitdiscovery.com/
But Photofocus blog theme looks different(See image attached)
Following are my doubts?
How to customize the Photofocus blog theme to meet my requirement?
Do I need to manually edit PHP files to achieve the design?
Can I purchase a different theme for the blog only(ie my desired design is
also a WordPress site - https://blog.bitdiscovery.com/)
Suggest me the ideal solution?
Your help is much appreciated.
Thank you.
From the Theme Instructions
You can customize this theme using cool additional features through Customizer at "Appearance => Customize" from your WordPress Dashboard.
If needed, you could contact them as mentioned on this page to customize it for you.
It should be possible to use another theme for your blog when 1) The site is on a subdomain (and thus a separate WordPress installation) or 2) when the theme provides a "blog" template option (but that would be only partially different).
If you are looking for a flexible, totally customizable solution, I can recommend Oxygen Builder. But you'll need some knowledge about HTML/CSS/PHP for it.
I am working in a website on wordpress with a free theme and I want to change font styles of site title, main menu or menus of specific divs. I tried to install Easy Google Fonts plugin but theme is not supporting it. When I activate it following error is showing
Fatal error: Class ‘WP_Customize_Section’ not found in …wp-content\themes\parallaxsome\inc\customizer\parallaxsome-customizer-classes.php on line 386
I asked about it from theme author and he let me know to contact plugin author.
https://accesspressthemes.com/support/topic/i-want-to-change-font-family-of-site-title-and-main-menu/#post-70747
After that I asked plugin author of Easy Google Fonts and waiting for reply.

Please let me know the solution. If some body knows.
Thank you in advance!
One solution would be to hard code your changes in the theme's style.css file.
You can find the file following this path - wp-content > themes > yourtheme > style.css
Open this file using a file editor and you will be able to edit all the styling, including the font.
It will help if you use the source code as a reference so that you can find the correct classes and ids that are associated with the element.
It's pretty simple to change the font, you can use this as a reference to find the one you want - https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/css-font-families/
EDIT: Here is an easier way that your client would perhaps understand if they have a very basic knowledge of CSS - https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/edu/wordpress/change-wordpress-appearance/change-font-globally
Alternatively, there are a ton of other plugins that will do the same thing as the Google Fonts plugin. For example: https://wordpress.org/plugins/use-any-font/
Hopefully, this will provide you with enough information to help.
I'm making a portfolio page for a photographer. The photographer should be able to add new projects via wordpress. I am not really familiar with how wordpress uses the inputs for an "post" or "project" to create a new portfolio project.
Currently I have an intermediate knowledge of HTML and CSS. How would I be able to assign my own styles to content that is yet to be created? I figure this requires knowledge of PHP?
I understand this is a pretty general question and I apologise for my question is too vague. Searching for solutions has yet only given me plugin solutions.
In order to create a custom WordPress template not only requires some basic PHP knowledge, but also WordPress template knowledge. You can read all about them here.
I would suggest to use a theme instead. There are countless (the link is just an example) amazing portfolio themes, lots of them free and all of them responsive. If you want to go along with your current theme and use just a plugin to create those portfolio items, I suggest a plugin like Advanced Custom Fields.
I have created a carousel (not perfect yet - images are not showing but it could work) with custom control icons ("next" "back") with Boostrap:http://homepage160630-v3.bitballoon.com/travel
Being not familiar with PHP, I found it difficult to integrate a CMS like Wordpress into my code, so I am trying to re-create the same site as a Genesis/Studiopress Wordpress site based on the Genesis Sample theme:
http://paulheartfieldphotography.com/home/portraits/
My biggest problem is to create the carousel. I have looked at "Easing Slider" plugin: of course it does not allow to position the control icons or even to create my own.
I wonder what shall I do? try to create the custom carousel by transforming my Bootstrap code into PHP or try to edit the plugin? or something else?

I think your best option is to get bootstrap shortcode plugin like this one https://wordpress.org/plugins/bootstrap-3-shortcodes/
However there are a bunch of them and you should check what works best for you. The link above is just to visualize.
I am having a website and i have applied a WordPress theme to it. But it is not responsive and doesn't view properly on mobile and other handle held devices. So is there any way to make an existing applied theme responsive ?
I am using PAID THEME NOVA.
Is there is any steps which i need to follow ?
Thanks
Ankita
Making a website responsive is not automatic. You need atleast to use CSS Media Queries to make your webpages responsive.
Though there are also responsive frameworks available out there, for example Bootstrap, which are brilliant to use if you want a highly responsive page, but I guess the learning curve is much harder than learning to use Media Queries.
The plugin Jetpack has a module to add a mobile theme to your site. Read about it at https://jetpack.me/support/mobile-theme/. This is a stopgap solution if you can't or don't want to code. Making a theme properly responsive is a lot of work.
If the theme you are using is this one update the theme to the latest version as it apparently already is responsive.
Contact the developers of your theme for specific steps you may need to take to 'enable' this option. If it is a paid theme then you are more than likely entitled to support.
