How to Create a Custom Page in WordPress

Do you want to create a custom page in WordPress?

A custom page lets you use a different layout from your regular pages in WordPress. Many WordPress sites have custom page layouts for their sales pages, landing pages, webinar pages, and more.

In this article, we will show you how to easily create a custom page in WordPress, step by step.

How to create a custom page template in WordPress

Understanding Custom Pages in WordPress

By default WordPress allows you to create posts and pages.

Your WordPress theme controls the appearance of your pages using a template file called page.php.

This template file affects all single pages that you create in WordPress.

However, as you already know that not all pages are the same. For instance, you may want to create a landing page that looks quite different from your regular website pages.

In the past, creating a custom page in WordPress meant coding your own custom template using HTML, CSS, and PHP. We will cover that method, but we do not recommend it for beginners.

Instead, we suggest using SeedProd or another page builder plugin to create your custom page. Simply use these quick links to jump straight to the different methods.

  • Using SeedProd to Create a Custom Page in WordPress (Recommended)
  • Using Beaver Builder to Create a Custom Page in WordPress
  • Manually Creating a Custom Page Template in WordPress

Using SeedProd to Create a Custom Page in WordPress

SeedProd is the best drag and drop page builder for WordPress. It comes with 100+ professionally designed templates that you can use as the basis for your page.

Alternatively, you can create a completely custom WordPress page without writing any code using their drag & drop builder.

SeedProd is designed to be easy to use, even for total beginners. However, it also has advanced options that let you build visually stunning pages to engage your visitors and increase conversions.

First, you need to install and activate the SeedProd plugin. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Note: there’s a free version of SeedProd plugin available as well. However for our example, we’ll be using the Pro version since it has many powerful features.

Upon activation, you should see the welcome page. You need to enter your license key here and click the ‘Verify key’ button. You will find your license key in your account area on the SeedProd website.

Entering your license key for SeedProd

Next, go to SeedProd » Pages in your WordPress admin. Then, simply click the ‘Create New Landing Page’ button.

Creating a new landing page in SeedProd

Next, you will be prompted to choose a template. You can filter these to find templates for the type of page you are creating. If you prefer to start from scratch, then simply use the blank template.

Choosing your page template in SeedProd

For the sake of this tutorial, we’re going to use a ‘Course Sales Page’ template.

You will be prompted to give your page a name and set the URL. After doing so, go ahead and click the ‘Save and Start Editing the Page’ button.

Giving your page a name and URL in SeedProd

The template you chose will now load up in the SeedProd page builder.

The SeedProd page builder interface

To change anything in the template, simply click on it. It’s easy to change text directly in the page builder itself. For instance, here we are editing the page headline.

Editing your page headline in SeedProd

You can format your text, change the alignment, add links, and more.

It’s also easy to edit images using the SeedProd page builder. Simply click on the image that you want to change.

In this example, we have replaced the default image at the top of the page with our own image.

Uploading a new image into SeedProd

Go ahead and change anything you want by simply clicking on it. This will open the editing pane on the left hand side of the page.

To add new blocks (elements) to your page, simply click on the Design tab at the top of the page. Just choose any Standard or Advanced block and simply drag and drop it into place on your page.

Adding blocks in SeedProd

After adding a block, you just need to click on it to edit it. Here, we’ve added a list block to our page.

A list block in SeedProd

If you make a mistake at any point or change your mind, don’t worry. Simply click the ‘Undo’ button at the bottom of the page to reverse what you did.

The Undo button in SeedProd

You will also find the redo button, revision history, layout navigation, mobile preview, and global settings for your page here.

Once you are happy with your custom page, it’s time to preview or publish it. To publish the page, first click the dropdown arrow next to the Save button at the top of the screen. Then, select the Publish option.

Saving or publishing your page in SeedProd

You will see a message letting you know that your page has been published. To check it out straight away, simply click the ‘See Live Page’ button.

The SeedProd message letting you know that your page has been published

To edit your custom page at any point in the future, simply go to SeedProd » Pages in your WordPress admin.

You should see your saved page in the list of landing pages. Simply click on the title to edit it.

Editing your existing landing page in SeedProd

The benefit of using SeedProd over any other page builder in WordPress is that it will not slow down your site. SeedProd is the fastest page builder, and it lets you create completely custom page layouts that are independent of your theme design, so you can have custom header, footer, etc.

Using Beaver Builder to Create a Custom Page in WordPress

Beaver Builder is a popular and well-established drag and drop page builder for WordPress.

You can use it to easily create custom pages on your website or blog. We recommend using the full version of Beaver Builder. There’s also a free version of Beaver Builder available with limited features.

First, you need to install and activate the Beaver Builder plugin. For more details, see our step by step guide on how to install a WordPress plugin.

Upon activation, you will see the Beaver Builder welcome screen. Simply click on the License tab to enter your license key. You will find this in your account area on the Beaver Builder website.

Don’t forget to click the ‘Save License Key’ button to save your license key.

Adding your license key to Beaver Builder

To use Beaver Builder, simply go to Pages » Add New in your WordPress admin to create a new page. Then, click the ‘Launch Beaver Builder’ button.

Launch the Beaver Builder editor when creating a new page

The Beaver Builder editor will then open up. You need to add rows and modules to create your page. Simply click on the element you want to use, and drag it onto your page.

Selecting modules or rows to drag and drop using Beaver Builder

Alternatively, you can start with a template. Go ahead and click the Templates tab, then choose a template to use.

Choosing a template in Beaver Builder

You can then click on any part of the template to change it. For instance, you can change the text, images, colors, and more.

Here, we’re editing the heading of the page. Beaver Builder’s editing process isn’t quite so smooth as SeedProd’s, as you need to type the text into a separate popup box.

Editing a heading in Beaver Builder

Once you’ve finished making changes to your page, simply click the Done button on the top right. You will then be able to save or publish your post.

Saving your post in Beaver Builder

Creating a Custom Page Template Manually

If you prefer not to use a plugin, you can create a custom page template manually in WordPress.

Editor’s note: It’s completely fine to have many plugins running on your WordPress site. Take a look at our post on how many WordPress plugins you should install if you are worried about having too many plugins.

First, you need to open a plain text editor like Notepad on your computer. In the blank file, add this line of code at the top:

<?php /* Template Name: CustomPageT1 */ ?>

This code simply tells WordPress that this is a template file, and it should be recognized as CustomPageT1. You can name your template anything you want as long as it makes sense to you.

Once you have added the code, save the file to your desktop as, custompaget1.php.

Go ahead and save the file with any name, just make sure that it ends with the .php extension.

For this next step, you will need to connect to your WordPress hosting account using an FTP client.

Once connected, go to your current theme or child theme folder. You will find it in the /wp-content/themes/ directory. Next, upload your custom page template file to your theme.

Now you need to login to your WordPress admin area to create a new page or edit an existing one.

On the page editing screen, scroll down to the ‘Page Attributes’ section. You will see a Template dropdown menu. Clicking on it will allow you to select the template you just created.

Selecting your custom page template

If you select your new template and visit this page on your site right now, then you will see a blank page. That’s because your template is empty and does not tell WordPress what to display.

Don’t worry, we will show you how to easily edit your custom page template.

Editing Your Custom Page Template

Your custom page template is like any other theme file in WordPress. You can add any HTML, template tags, or PHP code in this file.

The easiest way to get started with your custom page is by copying the existing page template provided by your theme.

Open your FTP client and go to your theme folder. There you will find a file called page.php. You need to download this file to your computer.

Downloading the page php file for your site

Open the page.php file in a plain text editor like Notepad, and copy all its content except the header part.

Template header of a typical page php file in WordPress

The header part is the commented out part at the top of the file. We are not copying it, because our custom page template already has one.

Now you need to open your custom page template file and paste all the code you have copied at the end.

Your custom page file would now look something like this:


<?php /* Template Name: CustomPageT1 */ ?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="primary" class="content-area">
	<main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">
		<?php
		// Start the loop.
		while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();

			// Include the page content template.
			get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'page' );

			// If comments are open or we have at least one comment, load up the comment template.
			if ( comments_open() || get_comments_number() ) {
				comments_template();
			}

			// End of the loop.
		endwhile;
		?>

	</main><!-- .site-main -->

	<?php get_sidebar( 'content-bottom' ); ?>

</div><!-- .content-area -->

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>


Simply save your custom page template file and upload it back to your theme folder using FTP.

You can now visit the page you created using the custom page template. It should look exactly like your other pages in WordPress.

Next, continue editing your custom page template file. You can customize it in any way you want. For example, you can remove the sidebar by removing the line that starts <?php get_sidebar.

You can also add custom PHP code or add any other HTML you want.

To add the actual content for your page, just edit the page as normal in WordPress.

You could also leave the content area in the page editor completely empty, and add custom content directly to your page template. That way, the content you add will appear on all pages using the custom template.

We hope this article helped you add a custom page in WordPress. You may also want to see our guide on the most important types of WordPress pages that every website should have, and our list of the must have WordPress plugins for all websites.

    Hello,

    Thank you for the easy tutorial. It worked so well.

    I have one question though. How do you make the custom page you create have its own separate sitemap on the website´s sitemap.xml? Like for example in wpbeginner.com´s sitemap the /hosting-sitemap.xml etc. is it a custom page?

    Reply

      It is a category for our custom post type which is why it has that page.

    I´ve already done this before and it worked, I know that many things can remove the file from where it was but my problem is that it doesn´t allow me to do it again. When I upload the custom page to the server it doesn´t appear on the template options when editing the page. Does someone knows how to solve this?

      The most common reason you would want to check is that you haven’t used the same template name and that you’ve uploaded the file to the correct location.

    What happens to your custom templates when you update your theme? Since you’re creating that new template within the theme folder. Will the new template be gone?

      If you’re using the block editor then you would want to ensure you’re editing the document. If it is not displaying correctly then you would want to double check the file name and that the file was correctly added to your files.

    Using your guide I created my custom page for my “blog” section (page with the most recent posts that doesn’t have the slider or other features that the Home page has).

    Great tutorial!

    I love to see how do you have to create custom pages :) Like table ( flex-wrap with div or about page.

    I already made AboutMe-Page with css-embedded picture and more custom pages. That is really excellent! WordPress makes us rich, right?

    WordPress is like darling / sweetheart :P Because we want make our blog-websites with money from internet.

    And how do I fix contactform of WPForm? Why does WPForm not send e-mail to my google mail. I want try if it works.

    Thanks for nice explanations with your nice videos. I am really happy because you save my life and make me reality.

    Best kind regards,

    Jens Eckervogt

    Are plugins compatible with custom page templates?

    For example, if I were to add custom content directly to my page template via a text editor, then upload and select it for the appropriate page (say contact page), how would a plugin (say a contact form), be placed into the custom page?

    Thanks

      Hi Dave,

      Yes they are. Often if you have to add something to a page template, you can do so by using the shortcode or template tags provided by the plugin.

      You are not getting anything because you should add default navigation links to your website.

    Thank you for the tutorial. I am happy to learn new stuff step by step.
    But, When I preview the page with the new template, I don’t have a white page, I have my default theme loaded.

    How can I change that?
