oh, well since I posted this I managed to get static pages to run on wordpress, I just went “Pages” in wordpress and created a page called “About” with the permalink of “domain.com/about”.
Then I went into file manager in my webhost, and added a new file called “page-about.php” into the wordpress theme file section, and they now show up in wordpress, and I can just paste my code in it. Its working so far.
It was the recommendation of some guy an another forum. “page-{slug}.php”
