I have a HTML form that user can interact with and insert the data to a database.
( One HTML form and about 3 pages .php )
I need to implement this form to a word press page.
I created a page in wordpress and it gives me a blank area to write my content but i don't know where i put my files.
so appreciate your support to help me , thanks .
Where you place your files depends greatly on the structure of your wordpress template. If you want to make a page that can be accessed via a url like "www.yourdomain.com/form", then you can make a "Page" in Wordpress (via the "Page" panel via the dashboard), and name it "Form" and then, in your form's HTML (or PHP) file, set your HTML up as a template using this syntax:
Put this at the very top of your PHP page that contains your form's HTML/PHP:
<?php
/*
Template Name: My Form Page
*/
The code comment above is something wordpress will look for exclusively, and tells the wordpress engine that this page (your form HTML) is now a template named 'My Form Page'. So now, in the Wordpress Page editor for your "Form" page, you can attach your new template to your newly-created "Form" page by selecting "My Form Page" from the Template Dropdown in the Page editor.
Here is a screenshot of what the "Template Dropdown" looks like (per the Wordpress documentation):
After you follow these steps, navigating to this page will reveal your form's HTML, instead of a blank page.
You should refer to the Wordpress documentation on Page Templates for more information:
Hope this helps!
There are a few ways to add custom behaviour to a WordPress installation. Either per Addon/Plugin or Template Logic or custom modifications. I would recommend that you read through the wordpress developer guidelines and write your php files as plugin.
After that hook your plugin to your desired destinations and do your whished actions.
See this link for writing your plugin: wordpress codex

I developped a theme for Wordpress for one of my client and in that order, I created multiple pages in html for the moment. Except my index (static homepage) using the "single" template I think, I have other pages (each one is different and using different style CSS).
Is it possible, and how should I create and name the custom PHP pages in order to get each page displayed by its own html basis and styling?
Didn't find any matching answer on the internet yet, just general stuff about pages in wordpress, not custom ones.
Thank you a lot by advance if you can help me!
Separate php file for each webpage
Name each php file what ever you like, it does not matter
Add a template name at the very top of each php file
/*
Template Name: Unique Name
The template is for ....
*/
Open the wordpress backend with wp-admin and press create new webpage. When creating the new page select the template name you want.
Done !
It is hard to completely understand the problem. I notice you have .html theme and you want to use this template as page template. In this case you have to create a file in the root of theme with name: cutome1-page.php and this file needs to start with the following line:
<?php /* Template Name: Custome1 Page */ ?>
after that, while you create page in wordpress panel, you see a template as : Custome1 Page
I want to create page templates in (php) file using wp-dashboard. If I map the template to a parent. Parent should list in the template left side and if i click on the parent from the landing page left side its should display all the templates which i mapped to the parent page.
Anybody could you please help me to do the above scenario using wp-plugin?
Anyone can you please suggest the easiest way to create page template for the above scenario. Its possible please give me some ideas about process of creation of page templates.
Note: The admin user should able to handle the templates and its should not display any code.Once we created a template its should be reusable for template replication. For example if i create 100 landing page in all created landing page left side should display all landing page names , when i click any of the left side page name its should redirect to the corresponding page.
For this Any one can you please suggest plugin or idea to create the process.
Thank you.

I've been asked to create a landing page for a client's WP site. I don't have much experience with WP and wondering if the page should be an HTML or PHP file? I have a CSS and JS file too. Any advice would greatly be appreciated.
Take a look at the WordPress Codex on how to make custom themes. You could edit an existing theme although this isn't advised as you'll lose your changes when you update it.
The landing page must be saved as a PHP file. WordPress will automatically include the right file depending on the page that is requested. The most straightforward way to do this is create a file called template-landing-page.php and on the very first line of the file, paste this in:
<?php /* Template Name: Landing Page */ ?>
Then add your landing page content into that file. When you're done, go to the dashboard and edit/create a new page. Look for the Page Attributes meta box on the right hand side and select the Landing Page template. Save the page.
Then you have a new landing page!
It has been a few years since I properly worked with WordPress. Now I have a proposal to build a WordPress site where every page has a custom design and only some areas of each page is editable.
The reason for this is to build a bespoke layout on each page which cannot be messed up by someone non-technical editing it in the CMS, except for small areas which they can customise.
e.g. A page contains one div which has some text in it, which can be edited in the WP admin backend, but the rest of the page cannot be edited.
Can this be done? How?
Edit: There needs to be multiple editable areas not just one. I know how to make custom pages/templates.
One method may be to create new page templates. Just create a new file in your main theme folder (or the templates folder if there is one). As long at the top of that file contains the line:
/*
Template Name: <your template name>
*/
You can design the page however you want. The data pulled from the admin section will go wherever you invoke
the_content();
The rest of the page can be hardcoded.
Then on the post edit page, on the right side (usually), you can choose the template with your template name for that page. It may be a good idea to copy the current post.php or single.php into your custom file and work from there.
For restricting access you can look at setting up user levels and keep your content contributors as "Authors" instead of "admins" so they can't change themes or edit settings.
(See https://codex.wordpress.org/User_Levels)
For creating specific unique pages with an area that gets changed you should look into custom Page Templates. You can create a page template by dropping a php file with the right naming structure into your theme hierarchy and it will get picked up by the back-end as template option when you create a page.
(See https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/page-template-files/page-templates/)
I solved this problem using a plugin called Advanced Custom Fields which does exactly what I required.
i m a newbie to wordpress. I have started theme development and encountered these problems. I think these kind of problem does have a solution, but i m not able to find it out.
I m trying to make a custom page. Uptill now i have made header, footer and main index page.
I see that whenever my theme is activated, I see these default index page, with header and footer assign to it.
I have also made some cutom about us , contact us pages using the Add Pages Functionality of wordpress.
My Problem:
1.Now I m trying to make custom product page where I will have more than 100 images on that pages, and then i can change the images, add the images and description and the link url in future. I have made some html code and put it in the text Tab . I can also see the images on the frontend of the Custom page. But my template breaks. Images goes up and description goes far below.
Also i wanted to add fancybox to all the images which are goin to be replaced or added. But again my template breaks.
So can we make custom.php page and do some coding or anything which you feel is the right way of doing it, Please let me know.
Firstly create product.php page in templates folder using below code on top
<?php
/*
Template Name: My Product Page
*/
get_header();
// write your code here
get_footer();
Then, assign the above template to the page in admin.
Then, that page you can call in menu.
For more detail, check here :- http://codex.wordpress.org/Page_Templates
Actually you don't really need to create a custom template for this unless if you are planing to use that same template on another page.
If your page name is products , just create a file called page-products.php in your theme root. and write your code inside that page.
If your planing to develop themes first be comfirtable with wp template hierarchy.
