HTML squeeze page in wordpress?

by Anoopchawla

Hi there,

I want to show an HTML squeeze page on Wordpress blog, but I notice after uploading the files including CSS, and pics the squeeze page still appears as just text without any images or formatting.

To be precise here is what I want to do, my main site should be on word press but when a visitor clicks on the Free report page it should take him to an HTML squeeze page, since I don't have any tool to create a nice looking squeeze page in wordpress itself.

    You can create a static page and just put it in the folder of the
    theme you're using.


    Just save the page as a php page and put this at the top.

    Code:
    <?php
/*
Template Name: Sales Page Video Course
*/
?>
    You can call it anything you want. Here mines called 'Sales
    Page Video Course'. Then save it, again with any name.
    Drop it the folder of your theme and go make a post.

    Choose the template you've just created and give the post
    a title but don't bother writing anything for the post as it won't
    show.

    Hope that helps. Any problems just ask.

    Steve

    I bought a the HTML2WP plugin from a WSO by George Katsoudas that does a really great job of converting any html page into a Wordpress page.

    It's really easy to use as well.

    I have got a squeeze page template and now I just want it to show somewhere on my blog like wwwdotblogdotcom/freereport.html.

    Is it that complicated?

    My only issue is that formatting and beautiful images disappear from the squeeze page.

    Yes, you can do that.

    If your images are in a folder make sure you are uploading that also and then check that your html is correct, for example if your images folder is named 'images' then the html would look something like this:

    <img src="images/nameofimage.jpg" height="200"
    width="770" />

    Just upload the HTML file of the squeeze template to your root directory and simply link to it from your wordpress site. Would be something like:

    http://www.yourwebsite.com/squeeze-template.html

    Then in your Wordpress navigation menu, simply add a custom link with that URL and it should work fine.

    Nothing is correct: you didn't upload the stylesheet directory and, seemingly, the images directory... Without those your page will always be as you see it now.

      Sir, I am pretty sure I have because I uploaded the whole thing as a zip then unzipped it.

        And that "method" may not work on a lot of hosts. By that method you may have lost the directory structure of the files related to your squeeze page...

        I said what I said based on checking the page you've linked to - there is NO stylesheet and images on the server. Not in the right place where your "correct" html file is looking for it!

        Before arguing about things that you don't know (because otherwise you wouldn't be here asking questions and for help), please go back to the site and really check out via your FTP client that the files and folders are in the right place. Right now they are not there. Even if you are "pretty sure"... :rolleyes:

    Do you have a Dropbox account? If you do, simply upload the images and stylesheet in your public folder and then manually copy the URLs for each file and paste them into the appropriate places in your HTML template. That may be less confusing, or it might not be. Depends on your experience, I suppose.
