Can anyone tell me how to construct a stand alone wordpress page? It was to look exactly like my blog (use the same CSS) and use the same php calls for the header and footer. thx,
The easiest way is to create a page template and then assign a page to use that template. Basically just copy the index.php file in your themes directory to a new template file and modify it with the content that you want. Add the following snippet of code to the top of the file for WP to recognize it as a template: <?php /* Template Name: Your-Template-Name */ ?> Code (markup): Once you do this you can assign this template to any page it that page will display your new page.
No. Because from what I can tell the new page will not display PHP code. I need a new page that I can add PHP code to. Because of the way WP operates there is no real way, from what I can see, to add php code without changing all pages.
If you want to do directly from Write Page, I suggest you install PHP-exec plugin. This way you can directly insert PHP stuff inside the Page entry.
