Basicly I want to modify the header menu area and the footer.
I dont want the sliders and the rest only the menu and the footer area.
PLease help me I’m new in working with wordpress and I’ve spent the last two weeks trying to made this changes, but not succeeded.
Thank you for your time and for help,
Ionut
If you want the header and footer to be accessible on all the pages, just include the wp_header & wp_footer on your pages files.
On the one hand, you have a static html page: http://fulnet.org/.
On the other, you have a Wordpress Theme: http://fulnet.org/what-we-do/
What you need to do is to make the neccessary changes in your style.css inside your Wordpress Theme - wp-content/themes/responsive.

I manage the website www.frijolichtreclame.nl and I've been working on making the URLs of the portfolio page and the projects beneath it the same for SEO purposes:
.nl/projects as the page where everything is combined, .nl/projects/project-name for each specific project.
But the layout on the .nl/projects page is not what I want it to be. Now I want to change that, but the default WordPress formatting always overrules my own wishes. Is there a way to change the layout to whatever I want? The website is made using Divi, but the Divi developers say these changes cannot be done.
Hope you can help me out!
I am a developer who has never used wordPress before and just had a couple of questions about creating a custom theme
To create a specific look to a website do I create a static design then inter grate it with wordpress and add the dynamic content where it needs to be added?
If you create a custom theme how do you make it dynamic rather then being static? When I switch themes I loose the all the appearance menu options such as (menu, widget, header and background) How do i create them?
For stuff like image carousels if I want the images to be dynamic do I create a widget for it in the functions.php file?
For all the text on the page do I just spit that out thru the visual editor? seems to break links when editing
What are starter themes?
Sorry I am quite new to Wordpress but have knowledge in html, css, js and php but I just struggle to understand how to integrate a custom design and make it all dynamic
As a first step to create a basic new template I would recommend you starting with one of the default WP themes (e.g. Twenty Fifteen), leave all the core files (they contain dynamic parts e.g. functions loading header/footer/content) and just customize the css files and images. Further customization would require changing code in php files (e.g. header.php for the header, index.php for the homepage, single.php for the article page, etc.)
It is true that some options related to header, background, etc. can be theme dependant, so when you change it the configuration gets lost, but the others like menus and widgets remain like they are when switching themes.
Yes, for stuff like carousels you usually have to use custom widgets and plugins, you can find some really good ones on the web (e.g. this one), so you just upload the images and apply configuration in the backend.
Yes you use the WordPress editor (as you see it has Visual and HTML view) for all the user content within the pages and posts. Broken links might be cause of using relative paths, just make sure they are complete.
As mentioned in the first point you can always start with the default WordPress themes like Twenty Thirteen, Twenty Fourteeen, Twenty Fifteen etc.
I have a page in HTML(index.html), and a folders named images, css, js that used in it.
Now i have to do this in WordPress. Is there any plug in to convert Html to WordPress or any other way to do this in WordPress? Please help me.. i'm a beginner in WordPress.
I am not sure of a direct way to implement a HTML page into a WordPress theme, but if you have made header and footer files for your website, then all you need to do is convert them to make them WordPress compatible.
You should refer to the codex.
You can also go for any of the WordPress frameworks listed here.
A WordPress theme is easy to understand if you know basic PHP. It has a set of files like
header.php // header file
footer.php // footer file
index.php // the index file
page.php // for your WP pages
single.php // for your WP posts
and some other files
Go through the codex and it shouldn't take long to get the hang of it.

I am currently teaching myself WordPress and working on my own CMS site.
My site will consist of approximately five pages where the header/sidebar menu/footer will be seen on all these five pages.
Beginner here and questions are as follows:
All these five pages will consist of different content, for example, every page will have a image banner representing the menu option just clicked, for example, "About Us" on page 5, "Promotions" on page 4 etc and then some text beneath that and then possibly some images inside a carousel set up.
Within WordPress, how would I tackle this, i.e. do I just create a page in WordPress, position the banner image at the top of the page, then have a few breaks and then insert the carousel of images - is this correct?
If not, do I need to create a separate php file called aboutUs.php that has this markup and then somehow link it to a WordPress page?
On my landing page of my site ONLY (page 1), just above the footer, I want to display a div section that displays all the sponsors of the website along with a URL to click to their websites - how would I go about doing this in WordPress?
Furthermore, with my menu, how do I link my menus to point to the WordPress pages relating to that menu option?
If you use the 'default' template that comes with WordPress you could do something like this to generate different content on different pages without creating separate php files (this would go in page.php):
<?php if(is_page('About Us')) { ?>
<?php $about_query = new WP_Query('category_name=aboutus-&showposts=1');
while ($about_query->have_posts()) : $about_query->the_post(); ?>
<?php the_content();?>
<?php endwhile;?>
Essentially, in this you could just create a post and an 'aboutus' category to reference it. The page of 'About Us' (referenced through is_page()) would contain the content you wanted to display.
First, some background. Wordpress has a number of ways to display stuff, such as images, text, and query results; here's a list:
THEMES
You can modify your theme files directly to do whatever you like. This will probably involve learning a lot about PHP and the Wordpress internals, but there are plenty of books, and the Wordpress Codex to help you. You can get themes from the Wordpress theme directory.
PLUGINS
There are huge numbers of Wordpress plugins, any one of which might fit your need. Plugins will require configuration, but generally won't involve learning PHP -- just how to install and configure them. Most of the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) plugins will allow you to place custom HTML in the templates (nominally for ad placement, but you can do anything you want with it). You can get plugins from the Wordpress plugin directory.
WIDGETS
The base Wordpress software and many plugins provide Widgets. A widget is a display element that can be docked in one or more widget areas. Typically a widget will be a chunk of HTML (often an unordered list) that has the theme's style sheet applied. Widgets are often used for ad placement, navigation elements (menus, dropdowns, breadcrumbs) or to provide tag clouds, category lists, calendars, etc.
SHORTCODE
A shortcode is a macro that can be placed in a page or post, that will return a chunk of HTML. Shortcodes can take parameters that will affect what the shortcode returns. The base Wordpress software provides some shortcodes, but many plugins will provide shortcodes as a way to get more functionality without the need for widgets or theme modifications.
With all of that in mind, here's my answer(s) to your question(s):
Modify your theme to include a page template, and add your image selection code to the template. Then create your individual pages, and then select your template while editing the page.
The 'landing page' can be any page (instead of the default blog index page); create a 'home' page and a 'home' page template that includes your advertisements. Alternately, use a SEO plugin to add the ads above the footer.
I don't know what theme or plugins you use, but generally you can configure a navigation menu to work from a list of pages, specifying either which pages to include or which pages to exclude. If your theme doesn't include this functionality, I'd recommend choosing a different theme.
Look into Wordpress "page templates". The Wordpress codex can help you understand this.
If you edit a post in WP you will notice the option to use a template. That is your goal. Learn how to work with them.
Wordpress themes are composed of multiple files. One of them is the header.php file which contains the header content. The footer.php file contains the footer and the sidebar.php contains the sidebar. These are the usual conventions. They're not strict. There will be a couple of main files which include these (e.g., index.php - Used for articles, page.php - Used to display pages etc.)
If I were making a setup like yours, I'd make five "pages" (using the backend) and then customise my page.php file to present it properly. I'd still keep the header, footer and sidebar separate from the page.php file since they'd be there for pages like 404s etc. as well.
Just put something in the content of the landing page to display this.

I am using wordpress as a full on CMS on a site I am building. One thing I cant seem to figure out is how to link up my navigation bar to the pages I am creating in wordpress. I am using a sprite image hover navbar that is defined in the header.php file.
Does anyone have any idea how I can take a typical CSS sprite navbar and link it up with the pages I am creating within wordpress?
Typically when developing a WordPress theme you will want to use the wp_list_pages() function to display a list of the published WordPress pages. It spits it out in a unordered list already hyper linked and ready to go. You can then integrate your CSS with it as needed. If you need further customization to the navigation, like excluding certain pages, reordering, them etc.. check out this plugin here.
Another alternative would be to get your hands dirty with some PHP and other WordPress functions and create the navigation lists you need in your functions.php file.
Does this help any? I'm only marginally familiar with Wordpress interaction but it sounds like this should allow you to execute PHP code, and thus pull your navigation somehow.
