Re: New static “Features” page as part of custom template
hi,Your page will not be accessible as http://yourdomain.com/features.php as it resides in your theme,It should be accessible via http://yourdomain.com/wp-content/themes/your_theme_name/pages/features.php
Now my advise,better look at How to use page template in wordpress.
https://codex.wordpress.org/Pages#Page_Templates
You can use your features.php as page template and create a page features, so this file can be accessed via yourdomain.com/features
Hope it helps.
