Integrate Personalised Pages

Hello Folks,

I am wanting to build a members area for my wordpress site. I do not understand the wordpress system enough to integrate it 100%, as it is only a small members set up to few a couple of pages – and I don’t want members seeing the dashboard. (Also as I do not want to clog up the template menu with templates for single pages – that won’t make sense for my client – I would prefer to avoid that technique)

My thoughts are to set up wordpress so it’s runs in a subfolder but accessed my the main domain address. Technique here

Then I was going to set up a folder with my own pages, that I can have control over.

So The files are set up:

Domain
— WordPress
—- Wordpres Files
— Members
—- Login.php
—- Process.php
—- Register.php
—- Members_Content.php

Now, following this method to integrate WordPress into a site. I am setting up the skeletons of my custom pages as

<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', false);
require('../wp/wp-blog-header.php');
get_header();
?>

<!-- MY CONTENT GOES IN HERE -->

<?php get_sidebar() ?>
<?php get_footer() ?>

This seems to be pretty close to what I need. However, I have the following issues.

• As it is outside of the WordPress Set Up, the page is being seen as an error page so the <title> is ‘Page Not Found – Blog Title’
• The breadcrumbs are showing ‘Home > 404’ – Guessing due to same issue as the title problem.

Is there a way to set this info above the get_header();

Or is there a method I am overlooking?

Any help would be appreciated.
