Building a Custom "Page" Template in WordPress | Theme Development Tutorial

In this lesson from our WordPress custom theme development series, we focus on creating a dedicated page template (page.html) to properly handle static pages like "About" and "Contact." You'll learn how WordPress uses different templates for posts vs. pages, why the index template is only a fallback, and how to build out a clean, reusable page layout using blocks like content and featured image.

We also walk through customizing the recipe page using a query loop, filtering by category, and linking featured images and titles to their individual posts. This is an essential step in developing professional, content-rich WordPress themes that scale.

• The role of page.html vs. index.html in WordPress themes
• How to insert dynamic page content with the Content block
• Filtering and customizing a Query Loop by taxonomy
