    Hey everyone,

    Im very new to word press, and have been trying to convert my site from its old static self, to a new dynamic site run via wordpress. I have been giving my own custom template a go, but im stuck on a main problem.

    my static site is static site

    and my current test wordpress is at wordpress site

    On my static site, there is the portfoilo page, which contain the only information that gets added to the site over time. everyother page is static (well besides the front-page.php, that will pull then newest items from the portfoilo).

    Am i best trying to change the blog layout to make this a work around? and create custom fields to hold the sculptors name and the image?

    Also when you click to view the page/post (depending on whats best) im after having my page look like this part, but with previous and next tags at the bottom to users dont have to go back a page.

    any help would be great to solve this problem of mine.

    many regards,

    Alan

    For the static page, you can actually create page at “Page” in admin.

    Just Add New page, key in your static page’s title with the content, if there’s something playing with html, you can click on “HTML” and write html coding+content as usual.

    To display the page’s link in your wp site, did you notice there’s a “Sample Page” menu on the right top of your wp site?

    There’s actually 2 ways to make the Static Pages’ link appear on your navigation bar
    I’m not sure if “Sample page” exist since you installed WP or you write it yourself under Editor,

    Let’s say if it’s automatically appeared, Then go to Appearance > Menus

    Create a new Menu (right column) with any name you like to
    Then choose for Add Page into Menu (one of the block at left column), add all the created pages into the Menu and click “Save”.

    Then add the Created Menu at “Theme Location” block at left column.

    If it’s written by yourself under Editor, here’s the other way to write it:
    Create the navigation section yourself, then write the name of the created page add URL for the name. If you not sure with the URL address, back to “Page” in Admin, click on the created page, below the keyed-in topic, you will see the URL address. Highlight and copy, Back to Editor and paste the URL for the Name.

    Hope this help.
