I want a clean new page

Create a custom page template.

Hi
This is not helping me have tried to understand for the last half hour but just not plain and simple enough.

Creating Your Own Page Templates
The files defining each Page Template are found in your Themes directory. To create a new Custom Page Template for a Page you must create a file. Let’s call our first Page Template for our Page snarfer.php. At the top of the snarfer.php file, put the following:

WHERE AND HOW DO I CREATE THE FILE
regards

Appearance -> Editor. Select your current theme.

Have removed code under page php and put in snarfer.php as per instruction

Now all pages except Home page are blank. I did not want this.

I wanted to make only 1 selected new page blank not all pages

I have no header etc completely blank.
so as per original posting I wanted only the rh coloumn items removed

ave removed code under page php and put in snarfer.php as per instruction

That’s not what the instructions said.

HI

This what I have done

Appearance > editor select theme all OK

I now have a page of code and a side bar RHS that has the various .php

How do I create a file?

Do delete one of the existing or whatever

Please call me dumb if it is staring me in the face

Create a new file.

Hi

no where on this page does it say create a new file

You can’t create a new theme file from within WordPress. You either have to login to your server account and use the console to create the file in your theme’s directory, or you can upload (e.g. via FTP) an empty file to your theme’s directory.

It would be nice if WordPress would add the capability of creating a new file within the Edit Theme page, but then, you probably should not be doing anything more than tweaking a couple of files from that page anyway!
