Website content question
in [General]
|
From: "Ernie Kemp" on 21 Jun 2010 07:41 This is not a direct PHP question but I will be using PHP in the website. I go to the php list because the wordpress forum does not respond to my questions and I know some of you have a lot of expertise in other areas than PHP. I wish to a my own pages to a theme. I created pages on my PC and added the code at the top of the page for wordpress to use the page for a template page. I than FTP'd the file over to web hosting server template location. Through wordpress "administrator" I added my file called homepage.php. I FTP'd my CSS, images, js and flash folders over to the template location. Went to load the website http://localhost/Michael-8701/site_flash/wordpress/wp-content/homepage.php and all I got was the html code displayed. I tried moving the folder around but same results. Read some docs on this but it's not clear to me why this will not work. Please help this is new to me and I need to get over this wall. Thanks, ...../Ernie

Can you let us know what code you have written so that one of us can guide you? As a broad pitch, your php code has to be either in <?php ?> or <? ?> I would wait for your code and other to probe a little more.

From: "Ernie Kemp" on 21 Jun 2010 10:04 Just as a follow up I'm including a link to a test site that I wish to have the wordpress to be able to change the content, but I'm unable to have wordpress use my includes. I must be putting them in the wrong places so need some help with this.

Have you tried editing an existing template first rather than create one from scratch? It's how I've always made them. Thanks, Ash http://www.ashleysheridan.co.uk |
