Tutorial: Create A Custom WordPress Page With Different Template
Recently I needed to create a page in WordPress that didnt have the sidebar on it. I still wanted the sidebar on all the other pages just not that one i.e. for an option or sales page.
It took me a while to find the solution but the one I found works like a charm. Takes a bit of programming knowledge but not too bad.
Here is a quick video on how to go about doing it and a custom.php to get you started. Credit goes to Moses at wpthemesplugins.com for the solution. My video just walks you through each step to make it a bit easier.

Sorry I would embed the video tutorial here but it is not allowed :
In a nutshell here are the steps:
1. Create a custom.php file in your favorite text editor. I use Notepad
2. Add this code to the beginning of your custom.php file
lt;?php
/*
Template Name: custom
*/
?gt;
3. Copy the contents of your page.php file from your current theme.
4. Paste the code below what you just added to the custom.php
5. Find the code that says lt; ? php get_sidebar; ? gt; and delete it.
6. save custom.php
7. FTP custom.php to your current theme folder under wpcontentgt;themesgt;whatever theme you are using
8. Create a new page. Under Advanced options choose Page Template gt; custom.
9. Thats it!
If it sounds complicated it really isn’t. In the video I will walk you through it in about 5 minutes.
