Anyone know of a site that explains how WordPress created its appearances in WordPress (on the backend) I like how the navigation was created and I am trying to drill down to see what makes it tick but its a heck of a mess of code. Has anyone launched anything online that you know of explaining how these pieces were made? Maybe something cleaner.
If you are thinking about all the effects - collapsable menus, toggleable sidebar and draggable secions at the dashboard, you should really take a look at jQuery and jQuery UI. These frameworks will make a lot of this interaction really, really simple.

I am working on a landing page using HTML, CSS , and JavaScript which are the tolls I am familiar with, but the client informed me that he want a dashboard to update the contents , images ...etc . I am not familiar with WordPress and have not done any project before. So is there any way to create the website then convert it into WP or any other way to solve the issue I am facing ?
hope I found a solution here
Yes you can create the HTML first. Then you can convert it to a WordPress Theme. But would require some PHP coding and knowledge in WordPress template structure, functions, etc.
Or else, you can hire a developer for this purpose.
Or the more easier way for you would be to use a drag and drop content creation plugin like Elementor (personally, I like it more) or WPBakery or something else.
EDIT:
To answer your question in comment, there's a starter theme called Hello. You can use it as your canvas and start adding your components and layouts in it. There are many third party Elementor addons available for use (some are premium). I mean certain elements for your layout would already be there as an addon widget created by someone else or it might be already shipped with the Elementor plugin!
If you have some time to spare (I mean it's not an urgent project), I would suggest some time playing with it.
I'm a beginner on the webdesign and coding area, so please bear with me as I try to make some sense in this question. So, I'm learning wordpress and trying to understand why some stuff is happening in a theme developed on school. The thing is: the sidebar menu, as you will see in the images, were done by a parent-child page system inside wordpress, and not by the menu tab on the appearance tab, where you can click and drag the pages and just activate the widget later.
how the menu is acting while hovering over the list parent-child:
As I'm trying to understand a bit more of what is happening, I have googled some things about this, but I still can't make much of what I learned. Anyway, I tried some things, but I'm still not there:
I tried taking the background hover from the list, and letting only the hover on a to work:
It kinda helps on what it was supposed to do, to highlight only the child item, and not the whole list, but the idea was to make the background hover to extend itself to the whole space that the "container" of that line's content have, just like it shows in the right part of the image_02. Now, would that be possible? In this case, would I have to get the parent highlighted as well, and not only one child at time? Or I can't get this result with this parent-child pages menu system?
Here's the site, in case you would like to have a look:

Sorry if this sounds kinda confusing, but thanks in advance anyways!
I have a Wordpress website, and the page names are listed at the top. On a PC, when I hover over some of my pages, it displays more child pages assigned to that certain page that I can click on. However, if I visit my website on a touchscreen device such as an iPad or Android device, I find it impossible to click on the child pages under the parent(I have tried holding my finger on the parent page as well). Is there any plugins that I could install to make those pages/drop down menu accessible for touchscreens? or any other solutions?
I apologize if this was hard to understand, and any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
You're going to want to use a mobile optimized theme. It can be difficult to find one that looks good at full resolution and on mobile/touch devices, they might cost money, or you might need to use your current desktop themes for other reasons. What you can do is install WPTouch which displays a special mobile/touch optimized version of your size for those users, but leaves your full desktop site theme alone. I believe this will require the least amount of effort and allow all of your content to be navigable.
Check out WPTouch here.
The broader question about building a responsive site or navigation system that works on mobile/touch as well as looks good at full screen width is probably goes beyond what you need, so I offer you this plugin. Good luck!

Having a bit of difficulty trying to incorporate the phpBB forum within a on our own page. Does anyone know if this is actually possible?
It might be that phpBB is not the correct product for the job but I had to start somewhere. Looking for a low quantity Message Forum to incorporate into our website. Rather than have it in it's own page I would like to build it into our standard page layout with our own Header, Menu, Quick links panel, floating Footer etc.
Can this be done, if so is phpBB the right Forum to use or should I be looking at something else.
Thanks,
You can create a phpBB board style which matches your regular page layout. See e.g. http://www.phpbb.com/kb/article/how-to-create-a-style-basics/ for some details.
Note that phpBB updates can introduce changes to the default board style - when this happens, you will need to update your board style accordingly to make sure everything works as expected.
You could try modifying the phpBB template files (.tpl) to pull in your website framework and then the forum will be surrouned with your actual website e.g. header, menu, footer, etc.

I want to write a plugin that will pull a sidebar from one Wordpress blog and place it in the sidebar of another blog. I know to write a plugin, but actually don't know where to start with this idea.
I believe he's saying that he wants to write a plugin to be able to retrieve a sidebar from another website and display it (possibly as a widget?). If that is not the question then I apologize; otherwise, I'll take a shot at answering.
The first thing I would recommend would be to view the code of just about any other widget plugin to make sure that a plugin (and not just some JavaScript) is really what you want.
Assuming you want the plugin, check out this resource for some basics. Also, you'll need the retrieval code which will either be "screen-scraping" in PHP or AJAX partial page loading with JavaScript.
I hope any or all of this helps you get where you're going.
