Under `index.php`. there’s a mixture of file names (html and php) and page names! How on earth are you adding these “pages”? It looks like you have 2 issues: * 1. Your original theme is broken – perhaps by incorrect template file editing * 2. You appear to be adding pages in a very non-standard way that simply does not work in WordPress.
