WordPress Page Templates by eckert


You can make your own page templates for WP by making a new PHP file on the server. Name it accordingly, for this example, I will call it specialpage.php.

Within that file place the following code at the top

<?php
/*
Template Name: specialpage
*/
?>

Now you can continue with your page.  Use the default wordpress codes for getting your header, sidebar and footer and do whatever you want in between.  I usually just copy and paste all the code from the default page.php and then modify it accordingly.

When editing a page, select Page Templates in the bottom options. If you’ve done this correctly, you will see specialpage as an option. Select it for whichever pages you desire and those pages will follow that template.
