wordpress how to add another page?

Question

hi im using the newest version of wordpress version 2.8.4

im wondering how i would add an additional page. i have a navigation that looks something like this.

home | about us | contact us | ... etc.

i read somewhere to go to pages -> addnew but it forces me to put the content within wordpress rather than edit a php file itself.

how would i be able to enter php in it? is there something else i can do?

please help

thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Create a Template in your theme folder, then set the page to use that.

If you want to do it without creating a Template, you may be able to use a plugin such as Exec-PHP, however this brings with it a bunch of possible security issues.

Answer 2

Why do you want a content page outside of Wordpress and outside of the WP loop? You still need to use a template and WP includes or you'll run into permalink problems.

You can make a WP page but exclude it from navigation, if that's what you're after, with something like Exclude Pages.

Answer 3

I'm a bit confused about what you're asking, but if what you're looking for is a way to have a link in your WordPress navigation that goes to a page you create outside of WordPress, you can use this plugin:

If this and the other answers aren't any help, you might want to edit your question to clarify what you're trying to do with the php.

Good luck!

You can follow this short tutorial about how to add a link only to a specific page in Wordpress. Hope is helps.
