    Do you mean adding HTML code within a WP post or page?

    Or do you want to have a completely independent HTML page that is linked to by your WP site?

    Both aren't too difficult but wasn't completely sure of your questions, let me have have some more details and sure I can help you out.

    If you are trying to add a webpage that is independent of wordpress, just upload it to your site. Wordpress actually checks for the physical existence of the file before deciding to serve content from the database, so if it sees mynewpage.html in the file directory, then it will tell apache to serve it rather than serve it via wordpress.

      This is spot-on, you can always just upload the .html directly onto your server and it'll still be read like a regular site.

      Alternatively, if you'd like to edit the HTML of a page/post - simply click the tab labeled 'HTML' when in your wysiwyg Editor.

    Not entirely clear what you are trying to do...

    1. Let's say you have a blog installed at example.com and you want to add a HTML file, named something.html
    - just upload the file via FTP into the root directory of your install (usually, public_html folder on your server)

    2. You want to copy/paste the whole HTML file into a post/Page of a WP blog...
    - DON'T DO IT!

    3. You have a HTML file and you want to use it inside your WP theme as a Page template

    4. Something else... you must be more specific

      I have a program that produces multiple html pages. I would like to use the created pages as posts in my WP Blog. How is this done? The pages I have created are blank pages with only the post and a video insert. Nothing else.

      What I want to do is to upload the pages as posts to the WordPress blog. How can this be done. I have an autoblogging program which will upload pages to the blog as posts, however, it will only upload plain text documents and my program will only create .htm/.html documents.

      When I upload html documents via this program, the posts show the html coding instead of the page. Now you can go in and manually copy the html code and paste it to the html tag of the posts, however, this is somewhat problematic. I need a way to upload these documents to the html tab of the wordpress posts page.

      Can you help?

      Thanks,

        It doesn't matter whether you THINK they are blank or not.
        It just doesn't work... because the pages you create with whatever program are FULL HTML pages: having code starting with <html> and ending with </html>... and your WP Pages are also full html pages - and you can NOT place a full code into another full code.
        Actually, you can but the result is disaster!

        You know you can not do it... you are just hoping someone would say otherwise :rolleyes:
