total wordpress beginner here. I purchased a organicfood theme and when I got an updated version for it, among other files I also found organicfood child theme zip in main directory.
I know that organicfood.zip contains the updated version of parent theme but I don't know if same goes for organicfood child theme zip. Is the child zip added with every update just so that a new buyer has that default child theme template?
Do you have idea of parent and child theme ? As per i knowledge wherever we use parent and child theme only update parent theme only and if we need any changes like manually we can change on child theme and when we update theme that change not overwrite its benefit of parent and child theme.

I've changed the author in the configuration file, but I only get my name changed at the bottom of the website, while the name of the sidebar remains unchanged(following is the unchanged sidebar, and another figure of my name changed at the bottom of the website):
So, since I've changed the author setting in my configuration, how can I make this also be used in the name of my sidebar?
There are two configurations, one for hexo, one for next theme. I changed the one in next theme while forgetting the one in hexo configuration.
I'm trying to hide the parent folder name in the URL. I have the address www.sitename.com/folderparent/folderchild/ and I want it to be www.sitename.com/folderchild/. My Wordpress site is in folderchild.
How can I achieve this?
I also have another Wordpress site at www.sitename.com/parentchild.
Install the two wordpress in separate directories.
It seems that you are now placing folderchild in folderparent, why don't you directly create two directories on the same level and install wordpress in each one?
If you can give more information we can help you better. Do you need the child directory to be inside the parent?
I work in wordpress but do have some clue about HTML. So now I know it is easy to use custom CSS but I d like to change something in the HTML. And ideas, suggestions ?
You can't directly change themes (HTML/CSS) since when the theme is about to get updated, your custom HTML and CSS will be reset (deleted). If you want to edit a WordPress theme, you need to create a child theme.
Create a child theme that's called similarly to your parent theme (twentyfeefteen-child)
Create a style.css file inside the newly created folder
Type in the following:
/*
Theme Name: Twenty Fifteen Child
Description: Twenty Fifteen Child Theme
Template: twentyfifteen
Version: 1.0.0
Text Domain: twenty-fifteen-child
*/
Now you simply create files you want to overrite. Say you want to edit the index.phppage. You create a file called index.php in the child theme folder, copy the code from the parent and edit what you want.
Templates are usually located in: {your project path}/wp-content/themes/

I just installed magento onto a server, and previous to that made a website layout ( basic html website) which i'm aiming to implement as a main layout on the magento site.
I'm new to Magento, and i've tried working with custom wordpress layout with the use of css. Yet this project gives me the assignment to use the html/css layout and change if not delete the default magento template. I Have no idea how to even get started at this.
Can anyone give me some pinpointers? if not just a link to a tutorial.
The idea is the use the layout i made and use it as a template, but with the goal of using Magento's e-shop functionalities.
thank you.

Magento has a Design folder and a Skin folder to customize your front-end.
File hierarchy
If you set up the folder structure of your custom theme correctly, Magento will only use the files you overwrite in the new theme. If you go to Magento>app>design>frontend you will see a "base" and "default" folder, base is the uppermost folder in this hierarchy.
Design (html + xml layout)
If you want to create a new theme you start with creating a new folder in Magento>app>design>frontend and copy the files you want to change in your theme. So if your theme will change the 1column layout to start with, you'll end up with this:
Magento>app>design>frontend>[YOUR FOLDER]>default>template>page>1column.phtml
Skin (images + css)
Same goes for the Skin folder. When you want to change the main css file for your theme you'll end up with this structure:
Magento>skin>frontend>[YOUR FOLDER]>default>css>styles.css
Setting Current Package
In the Admin panel you will have to go to System>Configuration>Design>Package and set the "Current Package Name" to the name of [YOUR FOLDER].
Manage Stores
You might want to add a store view, store or website to be able to change views so you could for example show a different front-end for different countries or special offers. Make sure you set the package name to the right scope, in this case.
I have an issue. I have made a custom website using CSS and HTML. I want to allow my client to edit and add posts to the website without any knowledge of HTML or CSS while still giving myself the ability to manage the code. Is there any programs or online tools?
I have tried wordpress at (Wordpress.org) and set it up on my website but I was unable to figure out how to use my custom HTML and CSS on the wordpress.
You can create custom sites in Wordpress by using the default installation (I think currently it's the "TwentyTwelve theme), and simply copying the files you want to customize into a child theme directory - named anything you want.
Also copy the default CSS into the child theme directory you make. These files will then be what supercedes the default files when you choose yuor child theme in the Appearance > Themes menu in the default dashboard.
