    I want to take the index.php file of my wordpress template, duplicate the file, and call it “staff.php”. I want to use the wordpress header/footer functions, but the body will have some static html and php includes that I insert myself.

    I want staff.php to sit in the same directory has the main index file, but I get an error when i create that file and pull it up:

    see here > http://tinyurl.com/ydpp5cl

    If I create staff.php in the theme folder, it will work, but then I have to call wp-content/themes/themename/staff.php in my URL and i do not want to do that. Can anyone point me in the direction of what I should be doing?

    Create a Page called Staff and enter the static info in the content field. If you want to use includes, then create a Page Template (see the Pages article), or use a PHP exec plugin that allows PHP code in a post/page.
