    My problem: I’m trying to create in-template separate pages. As in, click About and get an about page, with my header, footer and sidebar. or click Links, and get a list of links with header, footer and sidebar. or categories etc. I don’t want it to be reliant on “Pages,” and because this is for my personal site, i don’t mind if its hard wired into the the template code. perhaps i’m overlooking something. thanks for your help!

    Um, why not use Pages? You can (very easily) make the Page template look exactly like your site.

    Sounds like you are trying to make it more complicated than it is. 🙂

    1 reason, and 1 question 1) i don’t want it reliant on the database because i like to work locally on my template, then upload. i also don’t like having to link to domain.com/?page_id=15 or whatever. is their a way around this? 2) can i execute php queries via a Page? i’ve read that you need a plugin.

    thanks again

    A way around the link thingy – it’s commonly called pretty permalinks and the implementation is less scary than it looks.

    Executing php in a page: I use this plugin. Now, on that link, it talk about WP 1.2 and using it in posts, but I’m running it under 2.0 (and previously 1.5) and executing it on a Page, seen here.

    It also took me a while to wrap my head around doing things live on the server, and trusting WP to do the work for me. 🙂

    I tried another attempt at “pretty” permalinks, (i had tried previously and failed) but now these are working great. I tried several plugins, including the one above (and phpexec, and a 2nd plugin also called runphp). i wrapped everything in <phpcode></phpcode> and it did not work, it only printed the php. the 2nd runphp worked slightly better, but gave me a execution error. i’ve tested the code already, and it should be ready to run. thanks for the help.

    What i ended up doing was creating a separate template with the php code i needed, and then simply creating a blank page with that template. thanks for the help!
