 * hey everyone.
 * I have a template in wordpress and I have a question that I couldnt find it’s
   answer anywhere.
 * I want to make 2 seperate pages for my web site.
    1 is for the main page, Index.
   php and 2nd for the rest of the pages, page.php.
 * I made both of the pages, gave each the wordpress loop and the rest of the html
   code for each.
 * but when I add the page.php its ignoring the index.php.
 * how can i solve this problem ?
    thanks.

 * Is your 1st page a posts page or a Static WordPress Page? You might also want

 * my first page is a static page.
    but all my pages based on the index.php. and
   i want to make another php page with other html structure, like page.php, how

   that.
