How can I add a static php template page to a wordpress theme? The theme is a simple landingpage style theme and I want to add links to the menu that actually link to a .php file that I create and in that .php page I want to allow html to be added through the standard wordpress wysiwyg editor? This might not make sense but I'm having some difficulties. I understand creating a php file with the following code, but the theme doesn't pick up that code and allow me to select the .php page that I created. Please let me know if you can help. I can PM a link to check it out. Thanks everyone...

  • I've answered my own question though I think its the long way an maybe not the proper coded way of doing it!!! If you still want to help in any way, Im all game...
  • You can use custom templates if you want!. This allows you to add pages through wordpress and use a template in your themes directory.

    Just take a php file like your themes page.php file, save it as a different name, edit it the way you want it to work/look [generally done inside your content divs] and add the following just below your opening php tag:


    Code:
    /*
Template Name: Your Templates Name
*/

    Obviously edit where it says Your Template Name. You should then be able to add a page and select the template in the custom template dropdown menu.
