I had it in debug mode but it really messed up my site so I copied the comments from the code. Here they are:

Give a link to the exact page please. You need to explain the problem better because I'm not sure what you're doing to get those errors. I'm guessing from the errors you posted that you're maybe trying to access the custom page wrong.
This is the link to the custom page:
http://fiction.spot-design.net/viewpage.php?page=affiliates
And it seems to be working just fine.
Just letting anyone else who has this problem know that it was caused by incorrect url. I added .php to the end of the url. It should be:
http://fiction.spot-design.net/viewpage.php?page=affiliates
Not
http://fiction.spot-design.net/viewpage.php?page=affiliates.php
So if you have this problem check your urls.
After you edit a custom page, the link to the page should show up under
Custom Pages
If you click on the link of the page that was just edited, you will see the page. Get the url from that page next time so you know it's right. 🙂
Also, all the custom pages are supposed to have variables that you can use instead of <a href=""">." They look like {NAME_link}
for example, I have a custom page called links. In my header menu I use {links_link}. When people visit my site, they see Links there.
Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried slamming a revolving door.
