I would like customize certain Pages by adding specific php to the theme directory.
How can I assign a modified page.php to Pages?
Also, where can I set up the options for a Page layout? I have a theme that offers 2 options (archives, links) other than the default page layout. I assume there is a way to add another option to this?
create a page template. Read about it in the Documentation here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Pages
basically, there's a comment at the top of a page template that provides a name for the template. Once uploaded, these will appear in the Page Template menu in the Create New Page and Edit Page admin pages. Or, you can select the page template in the quick edit area of the Page list.
Thank you very much! Such an obvious place for relevant information, sorry. I might have missed that when reading that page.
