Home page i have created using fron-page.php. But i don't know how to create static pages. Templates is helpful to do this?
By default when someone clicks on a page, it looks for page-pagename.php. So creating a page called page-blog.php, page-mission.php, page-leadership.php should open the relavant page and inside it you can do what ever you want. Another way is to use templates, create a php file in your theme and add the below comments in the begining.
<?php
/*
* Template Name: My Custom Page
* Description: A Page Template with a darker design.
*/
Now from the admin panel when you any page, you will see a new option to select the "MY CUSTOM PAGE" template.

I have wordpress and am using Elementor editor. I have added a page that is meant to be a template for each new pages. I added a block with breadcrumbs to this page. I want this page with breadcrumbs on evey new page that i create. Copying this page all the time creates problems, e.g. if I wanted to change something in this block so I must do this on every subpage. I do not know how to do it - all i want its one static page with that breadcrumbs that includes to every new page i create, and when im change something in this page, changes will appear on every page.

Use the "Template" block in Elementor
That is achievable with Elementor Pro using theme builder option.
Create that template as a single page template and then in display options choose to display it on all pages.
Creating a Single Page Template with Elementor Pro
Then you should use standard page editor or custom fields to put content that is then going to be rendered by the template.
Doing that will let you make changes on all pages at once by editing the template.
I'm using the Genesis framework for WordPress and the Business Pro theme.
I want to customise the contact page and if you view the URL below, you can see the Email and Telephone sections that I want to create next to the form.
My question is should I create custom page template or use functions.php to target the contact page using a conditional. I guess I'm trying to find out best practise or if one method is better than the other in this case.
It does not matter how you create a contact form and add it to the page.
You can use a contact form in a page template. It is easier to manage than managing one function in functions.php file having a lot of functions in it.
Another option - is if you use "Genesis framework", use it further.
Otherwise, the part of the site with the framework and other through the code via ftp...
Make a page with this framework, there create what you need.
It will be easier to maintaining a site in the future. Especially if you make a website for a client who is unfamiliar with development.
You could use the Genesis Simple sidebars plugin to create a custom sidebar which only displays on the contact page and populate that widget area with your email and telephone details.
No need for a template but if you want to, create a file named contact.php in your child theme folder and add the following code to the file :
<?php
// Template Name: Contact
genesis();
You can then select the Template named Contact from the Page Attributes box on the Edit Page screen,

We have a site with a members-only section and WordPress in a subdirectory. Some of the members-only pages, forms, etc. are outside of WP. We created a Member Login form on our homepage using Dreamweaver 5.5. Is there a way to have WordPress accept that main login so that a member doesn't need to login again when going to a WP member-only page? Thanks for any help you can be in pointing me in the right direction. I know just enough PHP to be dangerous. Let me know if you would like to see the DW login code.
Yes, you are talking about creating your own custom template for a Wordpress page.
You can use the page you generated from Dreamweaver by renaming its extension to .php, unless it already is. Move it to the /wp-content/themes/yourtheme folder, where yourtheme is your currently active theme. On the top of the template, add these lines:
<?php
//
// Template Name: Login Form
//
?>
Go to Wordpress Dashboard > Pages > Add New. Add a page called 'Login' or whatever you need, select 'Login Form' as the Template under Page attributes, and you Publish.

Quick question (quick deadline...I know I can use google).
I'm writing a site on Wordpress w/ a static home page, it has a few pages--I want the 'blog' page to show the wp entries...what's the best way to set this up.
Right now I have a static template for each page (with content rendered), but of course, the blog page doesn't show the posts...
Thanks for the help!
Create a Wordpress Page Template by making a page with any name and this comment at the top:
/*
Template Name: Blog Enitres
*/
Go create a page, use that as the template (there is a selector on the right hand side). Call it whatever and save it. This is your static page.
Then, after that, go down to Settings > Reading and change the 'Home' page to be the page you've created.
Then create an index.php and save it. This will be the template for the displayed posts. Create an empty page and select it at the 'Posts Page' in settings.
