Title: Custom code Last modified: December 17, 2016 --- # Custom code * [bbhank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bbhank/) * (@bbhank) * [9 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-code-3/) * I have a selection menu that selects from 6200 listings in the database. Each of these is a WordPress page, not post. There are more pages to the site that are not selected by this menu. I am upgrading and the old theme could not be used in the newest versions of WordPress. It has never been upgraded to work with the new WP. I chose Customizr after trying many others. Selections from this menu need extra code to show some data from the database on each page that is specific to the individual page. I was able to accomplish this in the previous version by using multiple themes and a theme switcher – much easier than trying to deal with child themes. The old theme allowed me to duplicate and rename it and add the code to the new theme. With Customizr, this does not work. I tried making a child theme and could not get this to work, either partially due to how complex dealing with a child theme is and/or not being able to find where to place the code so it would appear where needed. There was no readily available succinct information on how to do this with a child theme. Several plugins were tried and either the code won’t execute or the plugins didn’t work at all. One even puts in the code twice without executing it and even duplicates the graphics, but does not execute the php. The code must display its results immediately after the title. It contains information related to the particular title and is needed on each page selected by the selection menu. * Where does this code go in order for it to even show up, and How to get it to run as required is the issue. It is to run only on pages selected by the selection menu.

Be more specific. The reverse of this is also acceptable where most pages have the code there are exceptions that don’t have the code. There are more pages that have the code than don’t. Out of 6200 pages there are around 200 that are required not to have it. The code is not to appear on any posts(articles). This site is page oriented, not post oriented. Here Posts are articles and pages are pages. * This is a website, NOT a blog. - This reply was modified 9 years, 4 months ago by [bbhank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bbhank/). - This reply was modified 9 years, 4 months ago by [bbhank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bbhank/). * [Menaka S.](https://wordpress.org/support/users/menakas/) * (@menakas) * [9 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-code-3/#post-8579885) * Hi [@bbhank](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bbhank/), You mentioned that you already have some code and wanted to put it in the child theme. * Create a child theme using this plugin: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/childify-me/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/childify-me/) * Place your code in the functions.php file inside the child theme directory.
