Question

how to create a static page with wordpress header and footer? I am not talking about static homepage just a static page using only wordpress header and footer.

Answer 1

Templates!

Create a blank .php file called whatever in your theme folder, put in the following at top:

<?php
/**
* Template Name: My very own template!
* Description: Look pah! I made a template!
*/ 
get_header();
?>
Whatevercontent you want the page to have, could get content from the wp_editor like this:
<?php the_content(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

Create a new page in the admin area, check your right for “Page Attributes”, in there you will find a “Template” dropdown, chose your own template here “My very own template!” it would be called in this situation.

Now that page will load the php code in the template file.
