I am almost a total newbie to Wordpress.
I want to create a website where users can register themselves using either their Email ID or their Google, Facebook and similar accounts.
As I understand WP upon installation provides certain pre-defined users as explained here. Again as I understand these roles are meant for users who will specifically log in from the backend of the WP CMS to carry out stuff as per their roles.
But then again these are the pre defined users of WP. I want a surfer to be able to register on the website and add posts on their own.
Questions
Is this at all possible in WP?
If so how? Coding or using extending the basic functionality of WP extensions or plugins?
Can the user (not any of the reserved users) then create and publish a post on their own?
Can you refer some resources where the basic WP capabilities can be explored?
I hope my questions are clear
Thanks once again!
Check out this blog article on this very topic.

Basically you are wanting Social logins. You can search wordpress.org for plugins to make this easier for you to implement. Basically you would download the desired plugin , install it and test it. (plugins have instillation instructions inside them usually in a text file.

as everyone knows the wordpress plugins are written in object programming, my question was knowing that the plugins refer and recall specific classes within the functions of WP. If it were somehow able to implement a WP plugin, in a project with a write code, please refer to the specification.
Connection file to the db, host, username, password
set of the query
and query display in the db.
It is feasible?
are there any guidelines to follow?
tutorial?
news?
this is from the official site
https://codex.wordpress.org/Writing_a_Plugin
the web has many posts on how to write plugins just google
"how to write a wordpress plugin"
aslo se the youtube
If you want to pay for a video lesson there are many just google
It is not needed to be OO.
In order to speak with db you need the wpdb
this is the official link
https://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/wpdb
Just google and you will find a lot
In general wordpress it is not so difficult. Good luck

I've been playing around with theme development in WordPress for a couple months now. I often find myself wondering how much of the sites content should be customizable by the client. Is it ok to have fixed html in your theme or should everything be generated dynamically?
If so, which WordPress features would you utilize in achieving a completely customizable web site for a client?
Ex: - all buttons registered as widgets?
- all headings and subheadings brought in dynamically?
etc.
Any thoughts on this topic are welcomed.
Thank you,
This is a slightly broad subject as the answer will differ for different project requirements. Some projects will require a full CMS blog where the customer can edit every aspect of their website. Whereas, other websites may just want a website built on wordpress (but the customer will never update information). I personally prefer to make everything editable by the customer. Reason for this is; when they ask to change a specific thing on the website, you can refer them to the backend and teach them how to do it themselves. This in the long run will make your job easier due to less 'can you do this' phone calls.
Also, a plugin i highly recommend to make a much easier CMS system within wordpress is ACF or Advanced custom fields. This allows you to add custom fields to pages, categories, posts (almost anything). Another plugin which i would recommend is the Custom Post Type (CPTUI) module. This allows you to make a custom post type to make editing easier. For example, you can create a post type call films. When the customer wants to add another, on the admin panel they will see 'Films' > Add Film.
Use the backend. Make everything an article or a page.

I need to develop a e-commerce type website with some typical modifications in it.
I want to develop the front-end by myself and I need some extra functionality it, it will be something like a printing service so maybe I will need a plugin that will allow user to upload images with the corresponding type of material used.
I decided to use a CMS because it will help me in the long run managing things and keeping everything safe.
I am proficient in the languages that are associated with these like PHP, Mysql, HTML, CSS etc. But know a little about WordPress or how it can be modified or what is the workflow for developing a e-commerce site with WordPress and woo-Commerce.
I need to design a front-end for it and some specific functionalities. Where should I start? What should I learn first?
Wordpress has a great community with free tutorials over the web.
Download woo-Commerce here.
You can find a decent beginner overview here.
You can find another one here which is more extensive, you can find part 2 to this one here.
To make your own modifications to the code simply go to /wp-content/plugins and locate the w00-Commerce folder. You will most likely have to do these updates through ftp.
You should now be able to edit the php files associated with your woo-Commerce plugin for more customization.
You can expect your site to look something like this before modifications:
Hope this helps.

I'm not an experienced web developer so please don't judge me if the question will sound stupid but actually I have no idea how to accomplish my task.
Basically, I want to create a simple website where an user can upload his picture ant receive comments/feedback from people he shares the picture with.
I'm curious, would it be OK to build a complex link (of a page with a picture) that the user could share with others and the visitors could comment on it?
It sounds like a good solution for me but I'm not competent enough to distinguish if it's a good practice.
Moreover, could I assure that other people (who don't have a link) do not get into the page with the picture?
I think of using Joomla CMS, a custom article template (for displaying pictures + comments) and some extension to produce a complex link.
Please share your thoughts about this. I'm not sure if I'm on the right track. Thank you.
You can try BT Galley of Bowthemes. They just made a image-video management component called BT Media and this is built in BT Gallery template.
The link http://bowthemes.com/joomla-templates/bt-gallery.html
If you want only share picture on site with users and comment system then you can use wordpress CMS.
Once you installed wordpress then you can search wordpress templates as per your requirement ( search on google "free wordpress template for images").
Install template and start adding content.
If you want to share that content with social networks like facebook, twitter, then wordpress provide plugin for that. We just need to install that plugins.
I hope I cover all your answers.
Let me know if you have anything queries.

The wordpress is such a great tool. I'm wondering if it will be a problem to start adding sections at some point, nothing to do with the blog, just sections for the site with different functionality ( say a database of searching stuff ) perhaps also incorporate and let user reistered through the word press database with the other featues in the site?
What should I need to know for this? will it be OK?
Some firm knowledge of PHP will allow you to write your own Wordpress plugins,
see this (Wordpress: Writing a plugin) page for more information.
There is also a 5 minute video tutorial about writing your first plugin which can be found here
You should try PodsCMS as a way of expanding on top of your vanilla Wordpress install. It's got a great interface, great tutorials, and the developers are always more than willing to help.
You can literally do just about anything with PodsCMS, especially with a good working knowledge of PHP and WordPress' workflow.
I've found the Wordpress plugin Magic Fields really useful for adding cms style features on Wordpress Pages. It may give what you want.
You can modify the wordpress pages if you want it integrated in the blog, or add new things on other pages.
Are you asking if you can use the wordpress login info for other sections of your site?
