I have recently finished creating a website without using Wordpress, yet web filters like Fortinet/Fortiguard or Qustodio declare that my site's category is "unrated", therefore not letting the site to be visible.
Is there a possibility or method to assign a category to the site through HTML coding, or is it obligatory to use Wordpress so the site can be recognized as not-unrated category-wise?
Apologies for the redundances, and thanks beforehand.
Is there a possibility or method to assign a cathegory to the site through HTML coding
No.
or is it obligatory to use Wordpress so the site can be recognized as not-unrated cathegory-wise?
That won't work either.
The category is determined by the filter's own rules, not by the website.
Those sites determine your website's category by looking at the content and the people who visit it. These actually take time. Be patient.

On almost every website, they have various pages, each having the same HTML code. I strongly doubt that the creators of the websites edit the HTML code of each page, especially when users can make their own pages (like redditors making their own subreddits). These two pages from wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthesizer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_machine are different pages but they have very similar html code
And I don't even need to have users create their own pages, I just need to have multiple pages that reuse html code. https://www.apple.com/mac/ https://www.apple.com/ipad/ are clearly different pages that have different html code, but I don't think the developers would copy and paste HTML code, change it, then change the code of the headers in each page to include the new page when they have a new product.
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.3/getting-started/introduction/ and https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.3/examples/ are different pages that use the same html code. What do they use? Should I learn bootstrap? I've seen websites do this way before bootstrap was made, though. What's something like this called? Do they even write in HTML or do they write in something that compiles into HTML? How am I supposed to do this very simple task that every webdev knows how to do yet I am unable to find any information on it?
I've tried searching for "Reusing HTML code" but I found nothing that answers my question. All I've seen are special cases
I'm hoping with this, I'll be able to have a website that can have multiple pages that use the same basic HTML code. If I wanted a new tab, I won't have to edit the HTML code of each page.
What you described is achieved by HTML templates and server-side scripting. The server script injects data in your HTML template, thus reusing one template for any number of pages. A template may consist of multiple parts that can be combined to achieve similarly looking yet different pages. It is called dynamic HTML.
Here is a very basic tutorial on how it works: https://www.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.php
To create a modern website you need to use a dozen different technologies together. Here is an infographic to give get idea: https://codeburst.io/the-2018-web-developer-roadmap-826b1b806e8d
They are many ways to do it!
If you are using asp.net you can use master page.
For more info : Master page demo
or else you can use php "include" statement. Suppose you created one page as header.php(header.html) and other one as footer.php(footer.html), then you just have to include those pages.
eg
<?php include 'header.php';?>
<html>your web page</html>
<?php include 'header.php';?>
Well this question is so extremely general it's hard to answer without knowing what your goal is. I highly doubt there are any web developers that develop a website from scratch anymore. Most use a content management system (CMS) which uses server side scripting to serve HTML pieces to form a website. For example header, footer, content-body I don't mean the HTML tags header and footer, although they will be part of the pieces the CMS serves. The most popular content management system is Wordpress, which is built in php. The pages don't even need to be specifically designated, they can be a list of blog posts, a picture gallery ...etc . There are many different CMS packages that serve different purposes and depend on your requirements. Wordpress is in my opinion the simplest with the lowest learning curve and is quite powerful, especially with all of the templates and plugins available. Wordpress itself is free and there are many free templates to start from. However, there are paid templates and plugins that offer additional features. The only thing that you need is php support and a hosting site.
All you need to know can be found here - https://codex.wordpress.org/Getting_Started_with_WordPress
Other content management systems include Joomla, Drupal, Magento, PrestaShop, TYPO3. Each have their advantages and disadvantages, as well as varying support for plugins and templates. Some are designed to support eCommerce sites, such as PrestaShop and TYPO3 but most CMS libraries provide support for eCommerce through plugins and templates.
Bootstrap is a framework, which is a little different from a CMS, but it offers a similar functionality. It serves different pieces or containers you design to form a website or page.
I recommend starting with Wordpress and if you have more specialized needs, check out the other options. I don't recommend you start writing php code to serve pages unless you are a very experienced php coder and even in that case why would you want to if there are so many free open source tools that have already done this for you.
I'm creating a Shopify store for a client who does not obviously know coding. He will need to update content on the website (and I have coded some pages with certain layouts (in the html part of the content) so when he types his content it often breaks our design)
As an alternative solution, I'm thinking of using the blog feature.
I know Shopify lets us create a page with only a certain blog, but what it does is show up in the URL - as a ...blog/cocktails.
That is not good for the end user, because I merely want it to be a page that calls the blog articles from this blog. I'm unable to find a way to do it.
I tried replacing blog.content with blog['cocktail'].content and etc..
but it didn't do anything.
Alternatively are there any suggestions how you can design a page and let clients add their own content just by typing (for instances where its a list of recipes for example)?
I think it would be best to create a custom page template same as blog page.
It will solve your all problems(i think) because first your url problem will be solved by it user has to just assign a template from backend.
Second one most important user can update its content from backend and it will not disturb your html.
If you still have problems just customise html and css.
I hope it will help you.
By "dynamic links", I mean a list of links that will constantly be updated.
To illustrate my question, I have a website that I am constantly writing new articles for. I currently have about 10 articles. If someone is to read article #5, there is a list of links to all 10 articles in the right panel of the page. As I update the site, and article #1 becomes out of date, I'd like to replace article #1 with article #11. Rather than updating the links within every article (so 10 times), is there a way to update the links once and have them all update simultaneously to every page?? Could I create an iframe for this??
Thanks for any and all help!
What's your goal? Do you want to learn to be a web developer? Or are you mostly concerned with getting your articles published?
If you want to be a web developer, I'd recommend steering clear of large CMS system like Wordpress or Drupal. Those are great products. But you want to learn the basics first. I think starting a PHP tutorial is the way to go.
If you just want to publish your articles, I'd recommend you find a nice place to create a blog. There are so many to choose from. It all depends on how much you want to spend.
Feel free to ask follow up questions. Web development sounds simple. But it's really a complex topic. I can't imagine what is must be like starting out these days with so many choices and competing technologies.
One way to do it would be to use Server-side includes. (Wikipedia) They work like this:
<!--#include file="some-content.html" -->
or
<!--#include virtual="some-folder/some-content.html" -->
The difference is file="" finds a file relative to the current page, whereas virtual="" finds it from the domain root. Either way, this method can use any type of regular text file as a source. The actual addition of the content is done by the server (hence the name) so its contents will be parsed as regular HTML and all CSS will apply to it as if the file were part of your page. I don't know about compatibility with different hosts, but if your web server supports it, this is probably the easiest way to go.
Are iframes still widely in use today?
I am coding a site with divs, and I want everything to appear in the container div. Is it possible to do it without coding the header + nav into each page and have the content show at the exact same spot without using iframes?
I did a quick Google search and found a post that said it's not possible, but my site will have quite a bit of links.
As of right now, I am coding it with Tumblr, and the hashtags in the posts would act as links to a section of posts (Ex: #blog would retrieve every post under the "blog" link). What are some widely used ways to target links on a website?
If you are creating a multi-page website, it would be helpful to have the HTML content be generated dynamically or be built statically from template files. You don't want to manually update the same content across multiple HTML files.
Dynamic Pages
There are several options for dynamically generating HTML content depending on the software available to you. For example, PHP is a popular language for web development and is available through many web hosts.
Static Pages
It is possible to build static HTML documents from templates using something like Jekyll.
I'm not sure if I'm interpreting what you mean by "coding it with Tumblr" correctly or not, but I think you mean you're making a Tumblr site with their built-in HTML editing capability.
I think you'll have a very difficult time achieving the behavior you desire there. I think you're trying to create something resembling a single-page application. Tumblr probably just allows basic static HTML with little Javascript. The suggestion Kyle made about using PHP or something like that won't work because that code must be executed on a server, and Tumblr doesn't provide that capability to my knowledge.
If you really want this kind of functionality, you probably should get some paid web hosting and develop your web development skills. It's not a simple task, but it's fun!
Sorry if I underestimated you or anything. Just trying to read between the lines. It seems to me that you may be relatively new to web development given the content of your post, and I'm trying to nudge you in the right direction constructively.
I am currently revamping my own website, however, I have tried dotclear and chyrp, both are very good.
However, after many attempts trying to make the bog appear only in a table, I am giving up.
My aim is to have a blog inside of a table as shown in the image
http://i55.tinypic.com/2rfbtrn.jpg
Does anyone know how I can achieve that or know any other easier way or even another blog engine that allows me to do that?
Thank you.
Regads.
Of course, I don’t have the technical details of your web application, but one way would be to place your blog inside an IFRAME (either instead of a table, or place the IFRAME inside the table).
If you want to do thing properly (not using an iframe), it is not possible at all. The reason is that a CMS generate a complete page, with a header and internal link.
My suggestion is to do it the other way: adapt the CMS to display a menu on the left and a title above.
In dotclear, this can be done easily by doing a template. Even better: your goal might be achievable by using some dotclear theme and some extensions like "simplemenu".
