    HI!
    i hope i am here in the right category…

    i want to do what follows:
    -i have a website: http://www.yoonect.com
    -this website is password protected, this means every not-logged in visitor that puts the address “www.yoonect.com” in his browser will be redirected to “www.yoonect.com/login”
    -after login, the visitor will be redirected to “www.yoonect.com”
    -i want this “home” page (www.yoonect.com) to have a special, personal look.
    -I have made the html/css code with Kompozer, and everything looks great (kompozer-preview).
    -but when i upload this self-made code into the WP text-editor (wehre i edit pages) and hit and publish, my own code is overlying the 20/14 theme/page template (it means the 20/14 template is still visible)
    -but i want the user to see ONLY what I coded, (basically this are 5 images, each linked to a page: yoonect.com/members, yoonect.com/map etc etc, the images are ordered in a 5-point star arrangement)
    -i do NOT want ANY of the 20/14 theme menus, widgets, backgrounds, headers, etc. only MY code should be visible on http://www.yoonect.com
    -once the user hits one of the images i coded, he will be token to the specific page, which can be again with 20/14 theme “look”.

    can you please help me?
    why can i no t”overwrite the code” of one single page of my website?
    i am sure this is possible!

    You can.

    The proper way to do it is to create a custom page template, and set that to be the page template used by your login page. It’s simple enough, just follow the instructions here.

    You should just be able to dump all your html into that file, and have precisely the layout you want.

    HI
    Thank you for the fast answer.
    I have a last question:
    as i explain above:
    i do already have changed the LOGIN page, as when http://www.yoonect.com is entered in the browser, every NOT logged in visitor is Redirected to a custom login page (made with Theme My Login Plugin), with URL http://www.yoonect.com/login.
    so:
    after logging in, the user automatically is directed to the “home” page http://www.yoonect.com
    this is the page i need to have a personal look.
    i can not find this page in the “all pages” section in WP admin interface, in order to edit it.
    (there only show up the pages with following URL : http://www.yoonect.com/”my pages”… etc)
    do i need to set up a custom page in order to edit it and set that page as a static front page, or is there a possibility to edit the page with the URL http://www.yoonect.com (home) ?

    Yes, you’ll need to create a new page, assign the proper template to it, and assign it as your static front page following the instructions on this page.
