Custom Theme Page

When you add a new page in wordpress you can choose a template on the right hand side. If you upload a php file with a custom template for a page and provide the template name it will show up in the dropdown list.

<?php
/**
 * Template Name: Full Width Page
 *
 */

	'height'        => 198,
	'default-image' => get_template_directory_uri() . '/images/header.jpg'
