    Hello all,

    I am exploring the “page” feature in WordPress, and wanted to know how to control the look and feel.

    I would like to make my Page the same format as my index.php in terms of style font and title image and what not.

    Any pointers appreciated!

    Copy index.php to the page.php template and save it.

    Shouldn’t just deleting page.php do it?

    Could be – I don’t use pages so don’t really know.

    Hello all, making the contents of page.php the same as index.php basically did it.

    I’m confused though. index.php has “the loop” and everything inside of it… Why does this work!? The concept of pages is so different from regular posts that I thought this would never work.

    Can anyone explain this to me?

    A WordPress Page is, technically, a post. It lives in the same database table as all your other posts; but it contains a special flag to tell WordPress that it lives outside the normal date-based navigation system.

    So you do, in fact, need a Loop to make Pages work.
