Wordpress blog, but I want a separate standard html page?

burtonridr2 · 12-22-2009, 10:44 AM

I'm not sure how to describe this, but here it goes. I have a wordpress blog, on my own domain.

I want to create a landing page that doesnt look like the rest of my blog. I dont want the side bars and everything, just a standard page with a video and opt in form.

How do I set this up on a domain that has wordpress installed? I tried the way I am use to doing it, upload a new html document, but that didnt work.

WordPress and HTML pages can coexist on the same domain. So not sure by what you mean "didn't work"? Or you could create a custom WordPress page template. Google Custom WordPress page template.

Hi Eric,

It should work just by uploading the file.

Can you give us your url? or if you don't want to expose it, you can shot PM

All the best,
ayaw
