Creating a new custom page in Wordpress

Saturday, April 23rd, 2005 at 12:48 pm in Wordpress

If you want to create a new custom page in wordpress which use back the current theme. Go to wp-content > themes > your-current-theme-folder and copy all the files in the folder. Create a new folder in the root directory and paste all the files into the folder. Name it as what you want the page to be(eg. links) Then go to index.php in the folder and insert this on top of the file:

HTML:

< ?php require('../wp-blog-header.php'); ?>

The path depends on where your wp-blog-header.php is located.

Next is to customize the content for the page. Open index.php again and look for:

HTML:

<div id="main">

bla bla bla

</div>

Remove everything in the bla bla bla and replace with your own stuff. If you want to keep the sidebar and footer then do not remove < ?php get_sidebar(); ?> or < ?php get_footer(); ?> If you do not want to keep them then remove this two code.

To see your new custom page, go to http://your-domain/your-foldername
In my case it will be http://www.kahsoon.com/links
Enjoy your new custom page
