 * Hi,
 * I have a page that I created inside my wp-content/themes/mytheme
    Inside I put
   this: <?php get_header(); ?> My Code <?php get_footer(); ?> But I get the error
   that it doesn’t find the function get_header();
 * Searching in internet I found that I have to put:
 * `require('./wp-blog-header.php');`
 * But if I put this require It loads more than I want. I mean more code, I just
   want the styles, the sidebar, etc
 * Any ideas?
 * Thanks!

 * Is this a custom page template file? If so, have you reviewed [custom page template](http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Creating_Your_Own_Page_Templates)?

 * Yes I did.
 * In fact you can see the same structure that I said
 *     ```
       <?php get_header(); ?>
       My Code
       <?php get_footer(); ?>
       ```
   
 * The problem is what I have to add before because if not I get the error

 * Can we see the code for that page template? If it’s more than about 10 – 15 lines
   long, please use the [pastebin](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/).
