Custom .php page with WP header,footer

  • I am new to WordPress and I am learning along the way. I am also new to PHP and HTML so I am also learning that. I am creating a custom registration page on my WP. I have it all working the only thing I am wanting to do is add a Javascript username availability checker(basically green if username available or red if taken). However I can’t get it to work with the WordPress pages since it requires PHP, CSS, JS.

    So I have decided I would just create a fresh .php page but incorporate the header, footer, and css of the WP theme. Just not sure where I can find these files or how to do it.

  • There are many plugins that will do this type of thing for you. If you want to just customize your master login page, it is located in the root directory in a file called wp-login.php. You can also add a custom login page to any theme you are working with.

    Here is an article from the codex that can help you. This article not only covers modifying the existing wp-login.php but also how to build custom login forms for your theme.

    Did not know WP has any sort of “registration” since all it looks like to me is a place to post blog information.

    I am linking MyBB up to WP and so when you come to my site I want to give them the ability to register on my WP site instead of having to go to the forum and then register. Right now my registration works. https://www.mydomain.com/registration. Fill in username, pass, email and then it will add the information to my forum database and then you can login to the forum. But I am going to incorporate a few features on the WP side of things for those who have signed up. (AKA member benefits).

    So I dont have a use for the WP master login page other then me and a few others who will become content posters on the main page.

    Anyways, i am trying to add AJAX it appears like. I have uploaded the script files directly to https://www.mydomain.com/test/register.php and it will work fine (i have to change mysql information). But when I paste the same code into the page where I have setup for users to register it doesn’t work. Just getting stuck on executing this AJAX within WP.
