Yes, I understand that. Back to your advice regarding setting up the Landing Page. I think I follow you and would want to proceed with the "cleaner" way that you advised. I've copied the part of your message below that confuses me. What other stuff? Fragments? Then you say "Best to create a new simple layout altogether" (as a third option?). I'm confused. Do I do this by starting the same way in creating a template. (Haven't tried to create a template and assume it's self-explanatory in the Theme Dash as opposed to WP Dash?)
Wordpress for Dummies describes a simple approach using the Default Theme. Can I follow this without affecting my Atahualpa functionality?
Here's the excerpt of your reply tat I referenced above. Thanks, Flynn.....
... plus other stuff copied from the <head>...</head> section of Atahualpa's header.php depending on what WP functionality you actually need for this page
</head>
<body>
Free style HTML here, and can use fragments from Atahualpa's index.php and Wordpress functions
The Atahualpa layout code is spread over header.php, index.php and footer.php: Best to create a new simple layout altogether, a simple centered div
<div style="margin:50px auto;padding:50px;border:solid 2px #000000;font-size:1em;text-align:center">
Content of landing page...
</div>
</body>
Upload this landingpage1.php into the Atahualpa theme directory, write a page in the WP write page panel, choose "Landing Page 1" as the page template (see drop down select menu at top right of Write Panel), and in ATO -> Page Menu Bar -> Exclude pages from Page Menu Bar? put the ID of the page to exclude it from the page menu
