Creating dynamic static pages - Jessica Jane Clement
The first time we should to do is create Custom Page, it’s really simple, duplicate your page.php and give another name (example page-dynamics.php) and added on the top code
<?php /* Page Template: Dynamics Page */ ?>
That’s all, so simple right? The next step is added Custom Loop like on this example
<?php
$customQuery = new WP_Query();
$customQuery->query('meta_key=this-is-page');
?>
<?php while ($customQuery->have_posts()) : $customQuery->the_post(); ?>
<!– Do query stuff here –>
<?php endwhile; ?>
On our current example, on each post that we want play as page, we only need to added custom field this-is-page. If you need real example for this tricks you check it on WP Shout.

Hello, I’m days old with WordPress and I;’m also using Thesis. How would I make a page with a custom database query? I’ve read your post but I’m unable to understand how to start the page. Do I use the page editor in the dashboard or make a new file on the server?
Dan,
If you are wanting to create an additional CUSTOM page into WordPress you need to do this on your server via FTP and a text editor NOT the WordPress editor.
You would make a unique file. You can do some research on WP_Query and it will help you a lot. WP_Query accepts dozens of helpful parameters in the form of a request string or an array to grab the information you need.
