    Hi I know how to make wordpress pages through the admin panel, but I am needing a bit more flexibility than the standard WYSIWYG editor. Can anyone tell me how to create a standalone page that integrates with the admin panel but is uploaded as a separate file using FTP to the web server.

    Or something similar.

    You can create a new template. Just make sure to have the following in the top of it:

    Then when you create the page in the WordPress backend make sure to select your newly created template from the dropdown.

    Where do I put the template file?

    In which folder does it go?

    In the theme folder. Then “Add new page” and your templates will load under “page attributes – templates”.

    Will it include the header and footer?

    When you create your new template, it’ll need to be just like page.php, so you’ll need to include the header, footer, sidebar, etc.
