Creating and linking to a physical page

    Hello,

    I tried searching and really couldn’t find a post that answers this. Regardless, I hope everyone will figure out what I’m trying to get across here.

    I’ve taken over a website from a different developer and cannot figure out how they did one thing. Within the dashboard, there are links to physical pages. For example, let’s say one is portfolio. Whenever you bring up the portfolio page within the dashboard, the content is completely blank. However, within the source files, there is a file called page-132.php which contains the HTML/PHP content for the portfolio page.

    I would really like to know how this is being done.

    Thanks in advance!

  • Check your menus. Sounds like portfolio is not linked to the page.

    The menu links to example.com/portfolio as it should, but it pulls the content from page-132.php.

    For example, I have an SEO plugin that allows me to change the title, META description, etc all from within the dashboard on the portfolio page. I can make changes in that plugin and it all works.

    I’ve really checked everything as far as rewriting goes. I’ve checked .htaccess, I’ve checked all the domain name records within cPanel, and I can find nothing as far as rewriting/redirecting goes, so it has to be something in the code. I just cannot find it.

    That is part of the WordPress template hierarchy, the “132” is the page id. You can create templates for unique ids that way. Although it isn’t a very dynamic approach and there are usually better ways to accomplish the same thing.
