Including static pages in child-theme

You have to create the pages in your admin area. There’s not a lot of themes or plugins that automatically create the pages for you. When the pages are created you should be able to choose which template that you want to use for it. You should not have to touch any of the PHP files.

Hi Michael. Thanks for your reply. Do you mean that I should create the static pages in the admin area of WordPress, the theme, or in the child-theme ?

Will the pages/files that I already created from template pages of the original theme be somewhere in that theme’s directory – if so where ? If I can find them, could I ust copy them into the new install ?

I’ve turned Firebug on with the static home page selected in Firefox and it’s telling me that the page is at:

class=”home page page-id-206 page-template-default

and I can see all the code that’s consistent with what’s on the page. However I can’t find where this code is stored in the admin sections anywhere in the directory tree. Can you give me any pointers ?

The actual page content (and posts also) are stored in the mySQL DB. The template files used to display the content are ones such as index.php, header.php, page.php, category.php etc. along with the sytlesheet(s).
