New at T2: How to make static pages

Awesome.
Very helpful. The instructions on how to gut index.php will be very useful.

thank you, podz! Excellent tutorial. Now, I kind of ran through it fairly quick, making a mental note that I’m going to use it later to make some pages… did it include how to use the “page management” function in the WP 1.3 beta? If not, do you think you might make a tut about that? I can’t seem to grasp the posts I’ve read about using that new function. The only thing I have understood, with some dismay, about the new function is that you can’t include php calls in the pages ?? well, without using a plugin that is.

Very cool. FYI: I’ve got similar directions here: https://techgnome.anderson-website.net/post/2004/02/static-wp-pages-made-easy/

Nice tutorial. I was wondering if there is a way to replace index.php with a static page? I’d much rather have a static page loaded when a visitor visits my site. Than if the choose to, they can can pic out things on the menu to explore the page more. Can I do that?

No.
You cannot have two index files – it really upsets things. Best approach is to put your wp in a subdirectory and have the root index point to various places.

Didn’t think about that. Thankx!

Great info, thanx.

I noticed a (trivial) typo in the last section “More Read….”

the question:
So I can run PHP code in these pages can I ?

should read:
So I can run PHP code in these pages cant I ?

Not a big deal, but I thought I’d mention it anywho.

Does anyone know what I need to write to be able to create a few pages ie:

/about/
/contact/

etc.

I understand that the following lines need re-coding but I have tried everything would I need to change the path to the full path??

Could someone please show an example maybe, thanks!!

<?php
/* Don’t remove this line. */
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
?>
