Not quite clear what you want to achieve. If you want to make a template for Pages within your theme, you create a file, yourname.php in the theme folder, and in the head of the file, you put:
<?php
/*
Template Name: Your Name
*/
?>
It will then show up in the Templates-menu in your Page Editor.
Thanks! But, I did that and it shows up in the page template, but when I load the page it just comes out blank?
I made the arras-theme.php file on notepad, saved it a php script then went into my ftp client went to the theme I am currently using and just transfered the file over to my site’s theme.
<?php
/*
Template Name: arras-theme
*/
?>
That’s what is in the php file
What am I doing wrong?
Your file just contains the template name. You need to fill it with PHP-code, f.i. the Loop. You could start by copying in the contents of your page.php, and edit it to fit your needs.
<?php
/*
Template Name: arras-theme
*/
get_header();
?>
*Your template file here, the Loop and such.*
<?php get_footer(); ?>
