 * Good day WordPress community,
 * I have a serious problem which I can’t seem to resolve myself.
    I have been trying
   for a while to call functions in WordPress through making pages, like so: [http://i.imgur.com/E3roaxW.png](http://i.imgur.com/E3roaxW.png)
   However, it does not seem to work in any way. Whenever I try this function, it
   doesn’t work at all and I seem to miss a core functionality (in my head) of WordPress.
 * Regards

 * You can’t type PHP code within the post editor, won’t work.
 * You could create a shortcode instead – [https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API](https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API)
