Take a look once more at the page I refered to about user capabilities:

Contributors and authors can only edit posts and not pages. Authors can publish posts, contributors do not. An editor can create and publish pages.

Check it out in practice, that way it is easier to understand and remember.

Do you want users to have (1) a complete blog or to be able to post posts and make pages on a website?

(1) You need to install WordPress as a multisite. This way a signed up user can create a complete website. You find here more information on this.

(2) People can sign up to ‘normal’ WordPress sites and give comments to posts. They can also have certain roles and capabilities. For example, one can be an author and create their own posts.

I hope this helps you to get started.

If you use a theme that is translation ready, you can use Polylang. This is a free plugin to build a multilingual website. With this it will be possible to have the theme translated (logo, menus, …), but you will have to translate your posts and pages yourself or use the translator plugin you mention above.

You should be able to get the translated version of the theme from the Spanish version of WP. I hope you used a child theme to modify the theme if you did.

Of course you can include “music” as subcategory in-between…

I think this is the easiest way without coding (or not, someone?).

You could use categories instead of tags.

Category “Events” and then as subcategories the years: “2013”, “2014”, …

The difference between categories and tags is that categories can be structured.

I am not sure, but you could try this in the proper media query (max-width: 700px I guess):

#extra-sidebar {
float: none;
margin: 0 auto;
}

This is part of your theme’s lay-out and so you find it in the template files, not in function.php.

You can either comment them out in your proper template file(s) in your child theme. Or you can use CSS to not to display them on the page.

You might post a link to your site for more specific support.

You can add a menu item to your custom navigation menu for each category/sub-category under appearance > menu. You find the categories tab on the left.

It’s a bit trickier than explaining it in a couple of sentences. You have some work to do. You can start by reading this in the WP documentation.
There are several interesting articles out there. Check out these to start with:

1. Html to WordPress
2. WordPress theme tutorial

Have you heard of bbPress? Maybe that is a great place to start.

You need to use the specific class that WP adds to each page’s body element.

Try this:

.blog #masthead img {
display: none;
}

Have you read this? It might help, maybe the remark about ‘download & import file attachments’.

In general, for all themes that support custom menus, you can create a custom link under appearance/menus. You just add the URL of your home page and call it ‘Home’.
Don’t forget to select the created menu’s location.

Try to put the following CSS code in your child theme’s CSS if you only want to remove the content area from this page:

#post-735 {
display: none;
}
