I am having trouble, I am pretty new to Wordpress development, and I'm trying to create a page in my public_html that can be used with Wordpress and it's current theme. For example, website.com/text.php would need to include footer and header and also be able to communicate with Wordpress.

I've done a lot of research and cannot seem to find how to pull this off, can anyone here assist me?

Inside of your theme, copy page.php and rename the copy to page-text.php. In the dashboard, create a page titled Text. It will use whatever you place in page-text.php. WordPress can't access pages in the root.

In addition to this, after you create the page, you can also change the URL to be /text.php if you want. So then it will look like it is in the root.
