When we talk about the wordpress templates  its to customize the look of  wordpress themes , if we want to make the page looks  different from the   regular pages  then we assign  a page  templates  for a particular  page .page  templates are needed to give   professional look of the  web site and  , page   templates allow easy customization of pages  and  a look totally  on our wish .its   good way to make  custom pages.well  templates is good way to make professional look.. lets learn  here  how to  make it

to make a  template we need  to assign a name of the   templates as that wordpress recognize it

<?php

/*

Template Name:forum

*/

<div id=”casing”>

get_header();

if(have_posts())while(have_posts()){the_post();the_content();}

</div>

get_footer();

?>

this is simple  page template   named  forum.php

if we  want to make page template from  the  default page  template   then  open –> page.php file  of  wordpress theme

put the template name  on the top of the  code  after php tag

<?php

/*

Template Name:forum

*/

rest of the code………

?>

now  save it as   as   the name of the  template here use   forum.php

Now giving example   of existing  code    page.php

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id=”foxmenucontainer”>

<div id=”menu”>

<ul>

<?php wp_list_categories(’sort_column=name&title_li=&depth=4′); ?>

</ul>

</div>

</div>

<div id=”casing”>

<div id=”content”>

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>

<div>

<h2><a href=”<?php the_permalink() ?>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

</div>

<div>

<div>

<?php the_content(‘Read the rest of this entry &raquo;’); ?>

<div></div>

<?php wp_link_pages(array(‘before’ => ‘<p><strong>Pages: </strong> ‘, ‘after’ => ‘</p>’, ‘next_or_number’ => ‘number’)); ?>

</div>

</div>

</div>

<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

now we  make it as page  templates   test.php  by editing  code and  removing the code that we not want on the   to see   in the page  .

<?php

/*

Template Name:test

*/

get_header(); ?>

<div id=”foxmenucontainer”>

<div id=”menu”>

<ul>

<?php wp_list_categories(’sort_column=name&title_li=&depth=4′); ?>

</ul>

</div>

</div>

<div id=”casing”>

<div id=”content1″>

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div>

<h2><a href=”<?php the_permalink() ?>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

</div>

<div>

<div>

<?php the_content(‘Read the rest of this entry &raquo;’); ?>

<div></div>

<?php wp_link_pages(array(‘before’ => ‘<p><strong>Pages: </strong> ‘, ‘after’ => ‘</p>’, ‘next_or_number’ => ‘number’)); ?>

</div>

</div>

<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

</div>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

upload in the theme directory  and  assign the page template for  any page we wish .
