You will have to create a page template for it (with the content inside) and select it as the page template when creating your page. Use the Archives Template for the Default Theme (the archives.php file) as a guide.
Okay, I have a template created, but I’m not sure how to “select it as the page template” when creating a new page. Help!?
When creating a page at Write/Write Page, look to the right for the “Page Template” menu (or scroll down to it if you’re using WP v1.5.x) and select your new page template.
I’m using Wp 2.0 and I don’t see a “Page Template” menue. Here’s what I have on the right-hand side of my page:
Discussion
Passoword-Protect post
Page parent
Post slug
Post author
Page order
Down below my “create page area” where you put the content for the page, there is an area that says “upload” and “browse.”
Sorry for being such a dunce. I haven’t played with WP 2.0 enough yet I guess.
Then your page template is not in the right place, or it doesn’t have a proper header. The page template file needs to be in the directory of your active theme. Here is an example of a proper header:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Archives
*/
?>
