Creating a new template page for WordPress is a 2 step process and very easy to follow.
I’m going to presume you have a fresh install of wordpress.org for this tutorial.
Step 1: create template page
We can start with a sample file and copy page.php, rename it on your choice and put it inside the theme folder ../wp-content/themes/mytheme/
This file should start like the example below.
1 2 3 | /* Template Name: MyTemplate */ |
Step 2: select template in page
Now this template will be available for you to select when creating a new page. Below is a screen shot of how the new template will appear when creating a new page.
