I’ve got a site which is quite small which I created with ECT and Dreamweaver back in 2009. I'm attempting to convert it to a WordPress site. Here’s what I’ve done so far and some questions on my next steps:

• I created a new database for WP and uploaded the most recent version of WP to their server. – All working fine.
• I updated the db_conn_open.php file as instructed in this link: https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/wordpress/wp-convert.asp. – That seems fine as well (the vsadmin looks to be working properly)
• Next I added the necessary text to the header.php file as instructed here: https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/wordpress/default.asp#step4
My next step was to start adding the "store" pages -- but I realized that there are already pages such as "cart.php" on the site.

Do I delete those pages?
Do I edit those pages somehow?
Do I still create each (blank) page within WordPress?

I'm stuck. This is the link to the site - the basic WordPress pages of the site are working fine (home, about, etc), the links to the store pages simply open the pages from the old site.

What am I missing..forgetting...doing wrong?

Thanks,

Hi

You would delete those pages and then set them up again as per Step #5 https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/wordpress/default.asp#step5

I'm missing something....

So I delete the current "products.php" file (and all the other store pages).
Next, I create a "new page" in WordPress for each store page.

It's the next step, I'm confused about...if the "products.php" page is just a blank page...how does it get populated?

Do I go into an editor (like Dreamweaver) and create a page called "products.php" and enter this into the code and then upload it?

<?php
$GLOBALS['ectcartpage']='products';
require('./wp-config.php');
$wp->init();
$wp->parse_request();
$wp->query_posts();
$wp->register_globals();
get_header();
?>
<?php
get_sidebar();
?>
<div>
<?php
include "vsadmin/inc/incproducts.php";
?>
</div>
<?php
get_footer();
?>

Yes, that's pretty much it.
