Create a Home Page using WordPress Theme Elements?

  • I’m not a .php guy, but I am starting to learn how to modify a WP theme. I want to skin a home page with many of the elements contained within my /wp-content/themes/index.php file, but I’m not sure how everything needs to relate in order to modify the page. I want to keep the #header and #footer, but I want the #content area to be blank so I can input my own info. I also don’t want any #sidebar navigation items on the home page.

  • Here’s the outline.

    Create a blank index.php (it cannot be .html)
    The very top of that file must be
    <?php
    include('path/to/wp-blog-header.php');
    ?>
    Then you could have includes for where you wanted the includes for each section.
