WordPress dynamic paging - url conflict

I have downloaded theme which is static html & css template, now I'm trying to convert into wordpress dynamic template. the issue is that the static template is one page website and have some section within it. Scrolling to these section is done by jquery function that uses url to scroll to that specific section like this:
mysite.com/?page=about
so its conflict with main wordpress dynamic paging the website doesn't scroll to that specific section any more.
I've tried to change jquery code in my template but I couldn't fix it, is there a way to change the default wordpress setting in order to stop this conflict?
here the JS code :
(function(window, undefined) {
"use strict";

$articles = $container.find( 'div.content-wrapper > article' ).not(".noscroll"),
// button to scroll to the top of the page
// only shown when screen size < 715
$toTop = $container.find( 'a.totop-link' ),

Make bootstrap carousel bullets slide another carousel

Based on the code from codrops from this page: Codrops article , I wanted to add the product slider into a bootstrap carousel.
I have added a codepen here
This is the javascript code that makes the bottles animation work:
(function() {
var support = { animations : Modernizr.cssanimations },
animEndEventNames = {
'WebkitAnimation' : 'webkitAnimationEnd',
'OAnimation' : 'oAnimationEnd',
'msAnimation' : 'MSAnimationEnd',
'animation' : 'animationend'
},
// animation end event name
animEndEventName = animEndEventNames[ Modernizr.prefixed( 'animation' ) ],
component = document.getElementById( 'products' ),
items = component.querySelector( 'ul.itemwrap' ).children,
current = 0,
itemsCount = items.length,
navNext = document.getElementById( 'move-right' ),
navPrev = document.getElementById( 'move-left' ),
navOne = document.getElementById( 'bullet-sl' )
isAnimating = false;
function init() {
navNext.addEventListener( 'click', function( ev ) { ev.preventDefault(); navigate( 'next' ); } );
navPrev.addEventListener( 'click', function( ev ) { ev.preventDefault(); navigate( 'prev' ); } );
}
function navigate( dir ) {
if( isAnimating ) return false;
isAnimating = true;
var cntAnims = 0;
var currentItem = items[ current ];
if( dir === 'next' ) {
current = current < itemsCount - 1 ? current + 1 : 0;
}
else if( dir === 'prev' ) {
current = current > 0 ? current - 1 : itemsCount - 1;
}
var nextItem = items[ current ];
var onEndAnimationCurrentItem = function() {
this.removeEventListener( animEndEventName, onEndAnimationCurrentItem );
classie.removeClass( this, 'current' );
classie.removeClass( this, dir === 'next' ? 'navOutNext' : 'navOutPrev' );
++cntAnims;
if( cntAnims === 2 ) {
isAnimating = false;
}
}
var onEndAnimationNextItem = function() {
this.removeEventListener( animEndEventName, onEndAnimationNextItem );
classie.addClass( this, 'current' );
classie.removeClass( this, dir === 'next' ? 'navInNext' : 'navInPrev' );
++cntAnims;
if( cntAnims === 2 ) {
isAnimating = false;
}
}
if( support.animations ) {
currentItem.addEventListener( animEndEventName, onEndAnimationCurrentItem );
nextItem.addEventListener( animEndEventName, onEndAnimationNextItem );
}
else {
onEndAnimationCurrentItem();
onEndAnimationNextItem();
}
classie.addClass( currentItem, dir === 'next' ? 'navOutNext' : 'navOutPrev' );
classie.addClass( nextItem, dir === 'next' ? 'navInNext' : 'navInPrev' );
}
init(); })();
Everything is good when I'm using the arrows to go to the next slide, but what I'm trying to accomplish is to make it work with the bullet navigation on the bottom. Right now the bullet navigation only moves the slides from the bootstrap carousel and I find the code from codrops to be too difficult to understand for me.

Here is a very simplified version of what you're trying to do
$('#myCarousel').carousel({
interval: 3000
});
/* SLIDE ON CLICK */
$('.carousel-linked-nav > li > a').click(function() {
// grab href, remove pound sign, convert to number
var item = Number($(this).attr('href').substring(1));
// slide to number -1 (account for zero indexing)
$('#myCarousel').carousel(item - 1);
// remove current active class
$('.carousel-linked-nav .active').removeClass('active');
// add active class to just clicked on item
$(this).parent().addClass('active');
// don't follow the link
return false;
});
/* AUTOPLAY NAV HIGHLIGHT */
// bind 'slid' function
$('#myCarousel').bind('slide', function() {
// remove active class
$('.carousel-linked-nav .active').removeClass('active');
// get index of currently active item
var idx = $('#myCarousel .item.active').index();
// select currently active item and add active class
$('.carousel-linked-nav li:eq(' + idx + ')').addClass('active');
});
#import url('//netdna.bootstrapcdn.com/twitter-bootstrap/2.0.4/css/bootstrap-combined.min.css');
#myCarousel {
margin-top: 40px;
}
.carousel-linked-nav,
.item img {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.carousel-linked-nav {
width: 120px;
margin-bottom: 20px;
}
<div id="myCarousel" class="carousel slide">

Sorry if my English is not so good, but I really need to solve this.

Well I have no idea why would you do that, but if you want to reload the page every time you click on the Next and Prev buttons, including the Thumbnail you could do something like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.es-nav span, .es-carousel img').on('click', function() {
location.reload();
});
});
This will reload the page when you click on the nav or an image in the thumbnail area.

javascript forEach - add addEventListener on all buttons

I'm not so skilled with javascript so I'm looking for a little help.
I'm using a script found on Codrops (3D Grid Effect - http://tympanus.net/Development/3DGridEffect/).
All is working fine as expected but I'm trying to "modify" it for my needs.
Basically, I want to trigger the "effect" NOT clicking on the whole container but on a button placed inside it.
The structure I'm using is:
<section class="grid3d vertical" id="grid3d">
<div class="grid-wrap">
<div class="grid">
<div class="box"><div class="btn-click-me">Click to Show</div></div>
<div class="box"><div class="btn-click-me">Click to Show</div></div>
<div class="box"><div class="btn-click-me">Click to Show</div></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="content">
<div>
<div class="dummy-img"></div>
<p class="dummy-text">Some text</p>
<p class="dummy-text">Some more text</p>
</div>
<div>
<!-- ... -->
</div>
<!-- ... -->
<span class="loading"></span>
<span class="icon close-content"></span>
</div>
</section>
<script>
new grid3D( document.getElementById( 'grid3d' ) );
</script>
And the script (js) is

Now, I'm aware that the "crucial" portion of the code where I have to look is:
// open the content element when clicking on the main grid items
this.gridItems.forEach( function(item, idx ) {
item.addEventListener( 'click', function() {
item._showContent( idx ); } ); } );
So, my question again: how to trigger the event when the div (button) class "click-me" is clicked on every "boxes"?
Thanks to all in advance (i'm struggling with it for hours...)

Have a look at the example here,
http://jsfiddle.net/y0mbn94n/
I have added some intialisation to get your particular classes
// get grid buttons and then make an iterable array out of them
this.gridButtons = this.el.querySelectorAll('button.btn-click-me');
this.gridButtonItems = [].slice.call(this.gridButtons);
and changed the function which iterates and adds a listener.
// open the content element when clicking on the buttonsItems
this.gridButtonItems.forEach(function (item, idx) {
item.addEventListener('click', function () {
self._showContent(idx);
});
});

If you want to call a callback function when the user clicks on a button:
var buttons = document.querySelectorAll('.btn-click-me');
for (var i = 0; i < buttons.length; i++) {
var self = buttons[i];
self.addEventListener('click', function (event) {
// prevent browser's default action
event.preventDefault();
// call your awesome function here
MyAwesomeFunction(this); // 'this' refers to the current button on for loop
}, false);
}

with the structure given
<div class="grid-wrap">
<div class="grid">
<div class="box"><div class="btn-click-me">Click to Show</div></div>
<div class="box"><div class="btn-click-me">Click to Show</div></div>
<div class="box"><div class="btn-click-me">Click to Show</div></div>
</div>
</div>
you just have to change the line you've said to:
item.children[0].addEventListener( 'click', function() {
as the btn-click-me would be the first child of each item.
If you would like a more generic solution you could use:
item.getElementsByClassName('btn-click-me')[0].addEventListener( 'click', function() {
where bnt-click-me would be the class of the button that you would want to bind the click event. Notice that [0] so you can select the very first item of the array, as getElementsByClassName will return one, even if there's only one element.
But if you say you're just starting with javascript y really recommend you using jQuery, it's selectors are much easier than vanilla javascript.

URL Renaming via JavaScript

I’m developing a website based on this tutorial and would like to rename the URLs from /?chapter=# to their respective navigation names, e.g. /work, /about, /services etc.
index.php:
<aside id="menu">
<div id="scroll">
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Work</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Services</li>
<li>Blog <!-- Coming Soon... --> </li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div> <!-- #scroll -->
</aside> <!-- #menu -->
...
...
<div class="content-scroller">
<div class="content-wrapper">
<article class="content" id="introduction">

How would I be able to do this?
Thanks

Well, this line is what's writing your history state:
History.pushState(null, null, '?chapter=' + chapter);
So you would need to modify that function to do what you want. If you have a small site then you could make conditionals to swap the state to whatever you want easily. If you have a large dynamic site you don't want to do this unless you love horrible, tedious maintenance...
_saveState = function(chapter) {
// adds a new state to the history object
// this will trigger the statechange on the window
if (History.getState().url.queryStringToJSON().chapter !== chapter) {
var page;
if(chapter == 1)
page = "/about";
else if(chapter == 2)
page = "/services";
else
page = '?chapter=' + chapter;
History.pushState(null, null, page);
}
},
I may have missed the point of your question though. If so I can update this answer
