Adding PHP code to “Pages”

  • What do you have to do to add PHP code or reuse existing WordPress PHP code on the static “Pages”? For example, WordPress starts out with one static page, called “About”. If you try to add some PHP code like <?php echo ‘Hello World’; ?> it does not work and is wiped out.

    Sorry if this is a super-noob question. I am a recent refugee from Movable Type and just getting to understand how I can make WordPress look like my existing site.

  • you need to either make a page template with the php you want in it, or you need to get a plugin whose name I can’t remember that lets you do that

    Right, as Resiny notes, the easiest way to go about this (err, imho) is via some Page Templates that already include the PHP bits you want. Just name each page template something clever so that you’ll remember what it is up to. Then, when creating a new Page in WP, select the appropriate template.
