I have an Index.php file that I need to use as a custom page that I would like to have use some of the themes styles and elements Navigation, Footer, Contact Form, ETC.... The default header seems to be calling the body and its very difficult to find the parts of the header. I have been making a considerable amount of changes so the file in drive should be kept updated until I get this resolved.
Currently I have the page/code working thanks to @David and the advice given in this question:
run php application within wordpress
(links and files removed for privacy, and search engine listings removal)
there was a few files missing so I cant test this template itself.
But it is simply a case of replacing php code that calls for a variable with actual output (from view source) to create the template you want.
Go back to using the default index.php (remove the header/footer calls). Create a new template with the code below and link to it (using the rewrite code from the previous Q you linked above)
There is quite a bit of code in the header.php that calls variables set from the db but hopefully the below code will remove the parallex classes, if not copy the header file and call it header-custom.php. You can replace get_header('custom') to call this header instead. Anywhere you see a php tag inside a html element tag, replace with the actual output you can see in view source.
header-custom.php contents (call using
get_header('custom');
)
