Hi. A buddy asked me to create a nwe page for his site. I have made the page (results.php) and I have ftp access to his site, but i have never wored with wordpress before, and I can't even find where to put the new file. I downloaded the entire site to my apache server at home, so I could root around in the files without destroying anything but there are almost 10,000 files, in 30 directories and after an hour of searching, I still can't find the folder with the content files. I need to add a page and add a link in the navigation header, but I can't even find the navigation/header file.

I found a folder called wp-content, but it just has a couple cache-config files. Any hints or a good tutorial would be great, thanks.

You should use the dashboard to upload new files but if you're also looking for where the file will be put, you should be able to find it at
<path to wordpress install>/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/

The dashboard login page will be at <website url>/wordpress/wp-login.php

Ok, I will try that. He only gave me the ftp login info, so I will get the wp login info and try that. Will let you know how it goes.

What info will you put on that new page?

Wordpress has a function for a new button/page.

Hi, you could possibly try using Exec-php, it allows you to add code directly to a post.

So you could have one page or a sidebar widget for a search field and then have it use post pages to process the results/display results rather than making another page, it is easy to use and uses the WordPress security.

One thing to note is make sure that in admin/settings/writing the formatting for correct invalidly nested XHTML is not ticked or it will just add a space to the <?php ?> tags and your code will fail.
