did you follow the instruction in the documentation...?

https://developers.whmcs.com/advanced/creating-pages/

you basically just need a .php (similar to the one above) in the WHMCS root folder and a template in your active /templates/ folder (e.g Six).

as a VERY basic example, imagine you put a 'kyle.php' file in your WHMCS folder, which contains the following code...

<?php

use WHMCS\ClientArea;

define('CLIENTAREA', true);

require __DIR__ . '/init.php';

$ca = new ClientArea();
$ca->setPageTitle('Your Page Title Goes Here');
$ca->addToBreadCrumb('index.php', Lang::trans('globalsystemname'));
$ca->addToBreadCrumb('kyle.php', 'Your Custom Page Name');
$ca->initPage();
$ca->setTemplate('kyle');
$ca->output();

and in /template/six/ you add a 'kyle.tpl' template that just contains...

hello world

when you then visit kyle.php in the browser, you should see...

as I said previously, this is a VERY basic example because i've removed the database/sidebar/loggedin features.... depending on what you want to do, you may need to add some of those features back in... but you should at least be able to create new pages now.
