I have downloaded an existing plugin from the web to use in my theme. How do I add it correctly to the theme I am developing without using wp-content/plugins folder?
Depends on the plugin, but you're going to have to extract the functions and add them to your own functions.php file in your theme. http://codex.wordpress.org/Theme_Development#Functions_File
And if the plugin requires css and js files, you need to put them in your theme folder and link to them in your header.php.

I am currently trying to finish migrating a Wordpress site and have ran into an issue. The recapcha is not set on our temp domain and we currently cannot set it.
Is it possible to disable the invisible recapcha without going into the admin panel? I can't find anything in the database nor in the files.
So if you have use your theme that has template folder, you might get a file called form-template, inside your theme folder. Within the file, there are sets of Input tag that you can delete. But, it depends on what theme and plugin are you using in your WP. Because different theme and plugin has different way to retrieve the input tag template.
I have downloaded a theme but would like to edit the PHP files, but there is a theme editor block. I can't access it by typing the theme editor into the url, I just wondered if there is a way of getting around it.
It is highly discouraged to edit themes like that, because any changes made that way will be deleted upon update. The recommended way is to create a child theme and edit your PHP CSS and HTML there.
By using a child theme you will ensure that your modifications are
preserved.
Using a child theme can speed up development time.
Using a child theme is a great way to learn about WordPress theme development.
all the documentation to create a child theme is here Wordpress Codex
You will have to open functions.php for that theme outside of wp-admin. Like in a text editor or ide and upload it back to your themes folder.
The website I am working on has a complex footer that has been created in Visual Composer as a template. Rather than having to drag and drop the template file on every page we would like to hook this file into the footer.php theme file. Does anyone know how this can be accomplished? Is there a shortcode?
I am using a custom theme in magento. Now I install a pluging for product zoom functionality. But the plugin is not working. Finally I found that the while installing the plugin, the files are saved in default theme directory, but I am using a custom theme(themeheros).
To make the plugin working I cut and paste the
app/design/frontend/default/default/layout/[extension_name].xml
app/design/frontend/default/default/template/[extension_name]/*
files to
app/design/frontend/[your_interface]/[your_theme]/layout/[extension_name].xml
app/design/frontend/[your_interface]/[your_theme]/template/[extension_name]/*
But no luck. The plugin is still not working.
For product zoom I use number of plugins but no one was worked in custom theme.
But in my local machine these plugins are working because there I am using the default theme.
How can I make the plugin working in Custom theme in Magento. My magento version is 1.9.0.1.
Which javascript library does this module use? jQuery? Prototype? If
jQuery check existing noConflict() method.
Try to put layout and
template files in base/default directory.
In most situations any javascript lib doesn't work because of custom theme. For example in default magento image wrapper block is <div class="product-image"> and any module try to select this block $('.product-image'). But in your custom theme this block can have another class and module initialization will not work. So I recommend to switch to default theme.
Open on your product view page view:source code and find how much time jQuery (if it module use jQuery) attached
According your comment check if current handle use on this page. Anyway upload here your layout xml in your first post.
I have created a child theme with a new page template on some test site and I have to integrate this functionality into a live site. My theme folder contains lots of php files, css and javascript and my question is: the live site obviously has an active theme, so am I to just carefully place my files into their active theme? I have got the following
images folder
js folder
twitter folder with php files
header.php
footer.php
functions.php
my-page-template.php
style.css
Can you guide me where to place those files so I don't screw everything up?
