Custom Page Question

  • I’ve probably read through twenty posts on this and even the page in the codex but I still cannot get my php script to work in my site. Here are the steps I’ve taken to this point.
    Downloaded a copy of my child theme’s page.php and added my php code inside of it. Uploaded the custom page to my parent theme. Created a new page and chose the custom template I just created. Created another new page and added the form html with the form method pointing to the permalink of the previous new page using the custom page template. When I go to the page with the form and fill it out and click send I get a 404 error. I am assuming it is a path issue but I cannot figure out the right path to my custom_page.php script. How do I get this work? Have I followed the right steps or did I miss something?

  • if you hover over the send button, does it give you a path down in the left hand corner of the browser (on chrome)

    or look at the source file to see where that path is directing.

    Thanks for your reply, however that just gives me the path that I put in myself based on the permalink url from the blank page that I created pointing to the custom template. I was hoping someone who has gotten this to work with their own custom_page.php page could help me to understand where to find the correct path. Do I somehow use the parent theme/custom.php instead of custom-page like the permalink states above the new page? It seems that every path I’ve mentioned here doesn’t work. I don’t want to have to resort to a plugin if I don’t have to as I already have too many plugins in my site now.
