    @andrew

    Thanks for your response.

    We have a theme we already picked out and would like to stick with, so child theme and new functions file it is.

    Thanks for the tip!

    I could get away with 32 pages, thats not the problem. In the future we will have significantly more products, and it would be way to many to keep adding new pages, thats why Id like to create one page and make it dynamic based off the the users selections / choices!

    Except for the iframes(horrible for SEO), your ideas are all viable i’ll discuss with the rest of the team and see.

    @andrew
    this is starting to look like what we’ll have to do.

    I’m ok with writing the code to do all this, but my question is, what is the proper way to do this? Where’s the correct place to add the code? Do I make a new MU_plugin so its always on? Do I put it under my theme / functions.php ? Im familiar with using PHP, im just not familiar with wordpress’s architecture! 😛
    Thanks for the response.

    Just to be clear, I’m not having issues with PHP, its just a matter of knowing where the proper place to put the code is. Although I’m not new to PHP, I am new to WordPress!

    Does anyone else have any input on this? Here’s an image I made to show what we are trying to establish

    Hmmm, let me try to reword this the best I can.

    I understand that all WP pages are dynamic.

    We have several databases with different types of information about products.

    All of the information we are gathering and creating are spread into multiple MSSQL DB’s depending on what type of info they are.

    WordPress has a mySQL Database where all of the content, pages, posts etc are stored right?

    What I need to do is create a new wordpress page for each product I have. This page will need to be populated with information from the different MSSQL Databases.

    What is the best course of action to fill a wordpress webpage with content from multiple different MSSQL databases?

    Thanks!

    Other than the info page talking about the products we will sell, there really is no relationship between the info page and the actual woocommerce product. What if we were not selling anything and just wanted to dynamically fill a page with dynamic info?

    That’s why I felt that this could belong here in a more general section, because the idea of filling a page with content from a data base is general.

    Thanks for the quick responses esmi 🙂

    Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll make a post there too.

    “nothing is static” that was just a poor choice of words on my end.

    I understand nothing in WP is static, essentially I just want a dynamic page that loads dynamic information based on a selection.
