Please follow the below steps for create a new PHP file : –
1. First Go to the the theme editor by clicking “Appearance > Theme Editor” in wordpress dashboard.

3. Insert the below code on the very first line of the header.php file. Be sure to change your theme and file name.
<?php touch('wp-content/themes/your_theme_directory/about.php'); ?>
4. Refresh any page of your website in the browser. This will execute the php touch action and create the the new blank PHP file.
