How to Add Custom Page?

You create a new page (in Dreamweaver or whichever program you prefer) and save it with a .php extension. Put whatever code you want in it but add to the very top this code. Upload the page to your wordpress theme via FTP or your hosting panel.

<?php
/*
Template Name: custom page name
*/
?>

Then when you create a new page in wordpress choose the new page from the template dropdown.

Wow, great response, nemci7v! Fast, to the point — and it worked!

Mucho thanks. ??

Here’s one more question for you: Is it possible to publish a Pages page and not have it show up in the navbar (that is, be linked to via some other means)?

for that look into “exclude pages” there are also plugins for it if you search.
