    Hello together

    I have the followed idea:

    In the end i would like to have a Template for a Travel Blog.
    Its quite simple. There will be 3 different kind of pages:
    -The blog as a Frontpage
    -An About us Page
    -An Overview of all Pictures shown on a Google Maps depend of the exif geo data. Created by the file “map.php”.

    What I get:
    I created the Template. The styling is ok. The Navigation works. I can create posts and comments. This part was very easy.

    What i want:
    I have a problem with the third page (the map).
    There should be a Link in the Navigation, so the User can navigate to the map.
    The Page should not be shown as a WordPress “Page”. The user should not have the possibility to change anything.

    The Html is created by the php file map.php.
    The Map is created well. All Picture locations are shown on the map.
    (I executed the file separately: http://127.0.0.1/path_to_Wordpress theme/traveltheme/map.php)

    Whats the right way to implement this site in my template?
    Do i have to hardcode the link and add it to the Navigation?

    Thanks for your help. I hope you have all Informations you need to understand my Project idea.

    I think you have your WordPress terminology off a bit and it needs to be clear in order for my answer to make sense.

    I believe what you mean is that you created or installed a theme, and that one of your pages needs to be based on code generated by map.php. There are different ways to do what you describe, but here’s the way I would do it.

    To do that, you would need to create a child theme, then create a custom page template, create a page called “Map” or whatever you want to call that page, and then assign it to the custom page template you created. You won’t have to enter any text in your Map page unless you want to; the content will be created by your map.php code.

    When you create the custom page template, I think I would start with the page.php from your parent theme, rename it to something like “page-map.php,” remove the code that would ordinarily display content, and replace it with the code from your map.php file to output your map/images.
