 * I’m new to WordPress..I’m working on a locally hosted website using wamp..the
   issue is that I have a custom page template with a form, which I want submitted
   to a page (processing.php)..both in the same directory. here’s the form
 *  `<form action=”<?php echo get_template_directory_uri();?>processing.php” method
   =”post” onSubmit=”return validateFields();” name=”login_form_mini” id=”email_form”
   style=”float:right; max-width:163px; margin-top:8px; border:1px bold #33FF33;
   border-radius: 3px;”>
    <input id=”auth_email” class=”login-input” type=”text”
   name=”email” value=”E-mail” onFocus=”setInputText(this,’E-mail’,0)” onBlur=”setInputText(
   this,’E-mail’,1)” /> <input type=”password” id=”password” class=”login-input”
   name=”password” value=”Password” onFocus=”this.type=’password’; setInputText(
   this,’Password’,0)” onBlur=”setInputText(this,’Password’,1); if (this.value==’
   Password’) this.type=’text'” /> <input type=”submit” name=”Login”/> </form>`
 * On form submit, i get the following error: Not Found
 * The requested URL /web_site/wp-content/themes/twentythirteencprocessingpage.php
   was not found on this server.
    the return path appears to be wrong as well. I’ve
   spent a while on this stage searching for a solution. Any help is highly appreciated.
   Thanks, Jack.

 * Luckily I figured a way out..
 * just added the ../ to **action=”<?php echo get_template_directory_uri();?>processing.
   php”** to get **action=”<?php echo get_template_directory_uri();?>../cprocessingpage.
   php”**
 * I wouldn’t know
