Re: How do I convert a WP template to a TxP template
Hi David,
The easiest method that I have found is to save off the site as an html page, trying to make heads or tails of all the php files is not something I care to do.
Then open up the html file in a text editor, you will see how everything is laid out, where the header, body and footer are, etc. When you feel comfortable, copy/paste the code into a page template into your new TxP site and start adding txp:tags where appropriate. Copy/paste the CSS into a style and you’re ready to see how it looks, just assign the page and style to a section.
Of course in TxP we have forms, what I do is abstract the head, header and footer into forms, or anything that I deem would clutter up the page template with repetitive code. I tend to want a lean page template calling small forms, so I hang out in the forms tab most of the time.
Give it a try and ask questions when you get stuck.
