File Structure

Rhyno, I don't understand your question.

I guess what I am trying to ask is how the files of a website are organized can be important. I have learned that the hard way. Using wordpress, are there going to be other HTML files or other PHP files involved too? I'm trying to plan ahead before I have everything in place and find that it might be much better to move them. Is it likely that the files that you gave me will be most of the files that I need? Is it common that designers would just use the file structure that you supplied, or should that be placed in a way that other types of files are seperate. I know it may be of personal preference, but I'm just trying to think ahead. I hope that my question now makes sense.
Thanks

Thanks for your help. I'm sure I'll have more questions soon. Until then, I will be reading through your directions. :)

Yeah Rhyno, it does.  I was kind of spinning there for a while.

OK, one of the big reasons I steered you over to WordPress is it's fantastic consistency in installation and deployment.  Once you learn how to set up WordPress and the default theme I gave you, you can use this same installation to start one new website after another.  Every single one will begin exactly the same.  Once you have this basic installation, you simply add to it to add more features.

As long as I am guiding you, your files will stay organized.  There will be no reason to move files in the future.

WordPress uses PHP exclusively to set up HTML.  There are never any HTML files.  There may, as I have pointed out in the addition of new features, be a need to create new PHP or other scripting language files, however.

But with WordPress, all these added files (for the most part) will either go into your theme file or (in the case where you develop a custom plugin) into the plugin's folder.

It is very common that designers will start out with a basic theme structure, maybe not exactly like mine because mine is set up for a variety of different sites, but using my default theme, you can basically create any site imaginable.

Personal preference only can play so far with WordPress.  Since it is a program platform, certain rules must be abided by.

I hope this helps to answer your questions.  If not, post again and I'll take another shot at it.

Hi Omni,
Sorry... Still having trouble. I told you it wouldn't be long. I have an error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_header() in /home/rhyno99/public_html/observemath.org/index.php on line 7.
You can see it for yourself live if you like.
What did I do wrong?
Thanks,
rhyno
I'll post new question: Line 7 error?
