I am trying to import a page I made in bootstrap into Wordpress and I can't seem to figure it out.
I would like someone to give me some hands-on support if they have the time. I get different results with different attempts.
I changed my index.html to home.php and suddenly the entire site goes down. Restored it again and did something else and then the site showed up without its CSS. i understood i had to create a functions.php file where i call the stylesheets but im not getting any further.
What do i need to do to succesfully import a bootstrap page as theme in wordpress?
You need to create a WP theme, or just a WP page template (in case of just one page.)
https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/template-files-section/page-template-files/
In your current theme, if you have page.php , duplicate it by saying e.g. page-custom.php
In the template header section name the template:
<?php /* Template Name: Example Template */ ?>
Below it add your bootstrap page's code, you may need to fix paths to css/js files but I am sure you will figure that out by googling.
Once you have that page as WP template. Now create a page in WordPress to which you want to apply that bootstrap template.. and in the page edit sidebar, there is section you can select that custom template you created.
see this photo:

Now if you will visit the page on the front-end , that page will have bootstrap design applied from your custom template.

I am new in WordPress,
I want to know how to add footer other then default footer
( example: Footer file name - home-footer.php and need to use for home page, same as contact-us-footer.php for contact us page ). let me how i can achieve this.
if you are adding your files in theme or WordPress core files then this will automatically remove when your WordPress will be updated unless you creat child theme so just better to create to footers with any page builder I recommend elementor and then hide that with page id you will find that in the body tag of every page like this
.page-id-111 .footer{
display:none;}
Let me know if you don't understand anything
You have to name the file footer-home.php. Then you can call this footer in the page template (i.e. page-home.php) using get_footer('home').
Wordpress will use the right file, if it is named correctly starting with footer-*.php.
I want to use the page I design from scratch using HTML, CSS and JavaScript as the default homepage to WordPress.
The page is not on WordPress. I created it myself.
Make it a template file by adding this line to the first line
<?php /* Template Name: Homepage Template */ ?>
place it in your theme folder
Go to WordPress admin and create a new page, select template option to be Homepage Template, save it.
Now go to WordPress settings, Reading and select it as homepage.
Hope it helps
I'm trying my make my first theme for wordpress.
Is there any possibility to create custom php page to display custom content?
Pretty much adding to WordPress another copy of the likes of single.php, post.php or 404.php.
All I want just a page to display the custom content on it.
Every tutorial I found so far uses just creating new page within WordPress.
I want to avoid it and for custom page to be enabled straight after theme activation.
The Idea is to have something like my_custom_page.php and to be able link to it after.
Is there any way of doing it?
Thanks
here is the solution to what I was looking for
http://kovshenin.com/2014/static-templates/
To achieve custom page functionality you can use page template concept of wordpress. Creating a page template is extremely easy. Create any new file in your theme and start the file with a comment block like so:
<?php
/*
Template Name: My Awesome Custom Page
*/
<h1>Hello There</h1>
You need paste php code inside this template file. When you submit for then redirection action will be page with custom template page.

i'm using the twentytwelve theme and i have to write custom content into my example template.
I want to maintain my header content so the main structure is the following
header = id page, wrapper
ex.page = primary, content
footer = close wrapper, close id page
If i have understood correctly, if i want to insert content into the middle of my page i have to do it into my template page (that is a copy of the main page.php), that is in the middle between my header and my footer
For example i want to insert a div into which insert the loop of such category.
The problem is that it displays me nothing, like i've wrote nothing. I can only see the contents if i erase all the originary div, but it's not what i want to do, just because the only div is the page which is my container.
I can't catch what i have to do.
Can you tell me what i forgot to do?
Thanks,
Alex
page.php is a "master" document. header.php, footer.php and (if it exists) sidebar.php are all imported into page.php. Twenty Twelve also uses atomized content templates. You may need to add your div to content-page.php, which is also imported into page.php. content-page.php is used inside the wordpress loop, and encapsulates the code that pulls in the actual article elements from the wordpress database.
If you are trying to add straight HTML to the templates, ensure that you are not adding code between the php brackets:
<?php // don't add html here ?>
<div>do add html here</div>
Depending upon the type of wordpress page you are trying to display, you may need to consult the Wordpress Template hierarchy to determine the proper Wordpress naming convention for your template file (the copy of page.php).
Technically speaking, everything in content-page.php can be put into page.php replacing the get_template_part function. All the 'content' pages are totally not required and can be combined into one file if you want simplicity.
In my opinion, it's easier to start from scratch when learning Wordpress rather than try and re-work something. The default wordpress themes don't lend themselves to be beginner friendly.
I am using WordPress 3.2.1 ,
Page template selection drop down is missing on Pages (Add,Edit)
wp-admin > Pages >Add New > Page Attributes
I Edit the Template Page Default page as below code
/*
Template Name: New Template
*/
But still the template drop down no visible , my older version of WordPress it display by default.
Following is the screen shot for more idea
I solved this problem solved by adding the typical following code:
/*
Template Name: Custom
*/
Don't add any spaces after Name:
It'll work if you use template name: as well.
It might help someone: check if your index.php file is in place.
If it's not there, wordpress treats the template as corrupt and it doesn't display the template selection.
This should be simple to troubleshoot. The requirements for the page template to work are straight forward:
The template needs the page title in the top of the file like you've shown (the title needs to be wrapped in a PHP tag, you probably just didn't add it with your example bu I want to make sure you havne't overlooked it):
<?php
/*
Template Name: Custom
*/
?>
The second requirement is that the file is in the root of the theme folder.
With those two requirements in place, it should work. If it isn't working you nave a few possible issues. I list a few off the top of my head:
You might need to re-install WordPress in-case a file was corrupted
during your last update.
It's possible someone has altered the WP-Admin layout using users
roles.
That's all I can thing of at the moment, let me know how it turns out.
I had the same issue. It actually turned out to be a missing style.css file within the template directory in my case.
This happens because the get_post_templates() in class-wp-theme.php first checks for errors. If it finds any then it returns an empty array (no templates are displayed).
A side effect of this is that saving a page would clear the existing template and use the page.php instead.
So in short if the errors() method of your theme returns any errors then no templates dropdown.
hope that helps someone.
Same issued, I found out that in appearance panel in your WordPress dashboard the stylesheet is missing. You shouldn't rename the style.css in your theme folder.
Not sure if this will help anyone, but we solved the problem by disabling our theme and re-enabling it again. We had some other theme folders in the theme directory that we weren't using so we deleted those out as well. good luck, it's a really random problem to solve!
yeah!template dropdown not showing because you have no template So how to solve this::---
1 create template folder in theme
2 create a template in this folder
like:-
<?php /* Template Name: Home */ echo "template"; ?>
and check-in page dropdown will be there.
