How to design custom page in wordpress

ErfanOnline · #1 09-22-2008

Hi,
I usually use Joomla as CMS. And, in wordpress, I have developed some plugins that hooks and changes text (or controls some other things via plugin admin panel)

But, I need something in wordpress that is similar of component in Joomla. That is, I need place custom html/php code on a wordpress page.

Anyone have any idea how to achieve that?

You can easily do that using your admin control panel's theme editor. You can find all the files that are related to your templete.
Note: Make sure you have backup copy of the theme which you are going to edit. You should be extra careful about your modification process.

Thanks! That helped.
Actually I was not trying to edit existing theme. I was trying to add new page templates (actually I did not know it was called adding template before this point)

I just have to create my custom pages, and put the following codes at the starting

Code:

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

And, then create a blank page and just apply the desired template to that page!

If you only just need to add some pages to your site, you don't have to go edit the theme. Leave the theme editor things I mentioned earlier.
To add Page(s), just go to "WRITE" of your admin panel from where you usually make blog posts. In the write section you will see a Page TAB next to post. Just click there a blank page will open with page editor.
You can also add/delete your existing page(s) by going to the Admin Panel's "Manage" TAB.

I think the above step(s) will solve your page issue.

I'm not doing any Wordpress Based Development.

I just fell in LOVE with Self Hosted version of Wordpress & also with the latest release.

Self Hosted Wordpress is HUGE.

Good option. I will have to check whether this allows me to put javascripts or not. Actually, the "pages" will be parts of web application.

Hey bro,

If I not wrong then I think you are looking for some thing that will show the pages or custom pages that hosted in your server or another server but that will show at your Blog.

Basically I am sorry that I just now notice about your post. anyway, You will get the solution from here. If I am not wrong to understand your post.

This plug in for Wordpress will include the pages within a IFRAME so that you can easily show your custom made php script or other site that you want to show.

WordPress › PageView « WordPress Plugins

WordPress › Include It « WordPress Plugins

and here you can find out the Drop-down menu style.

WordPress › dTabs « WordPress Plugins

Thanks
