Hey guys,

So I was making a page for my wordpress website and I copy and pasted the HTML from Frontpage onto Wordpress... When I go to visual everything is outta place and looks like death.... anyone know why this is? I love word press but it's so hard to make a nice Home page using their stuff.

Thanks,
Tommy Mac

If your wondering what HTML I'm copy and pasting here it is... This is the Fontpage HTML that I'm trying to put on wordpress

<html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="en-us">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 5.0">
<meta name="ProgId" content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">
<title>New Page 1</title>
</head>

<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">

<p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p>

    You haven't give us your DOCTYPE declaration, but the first point is that the code above is not XHTML - which is what WordPress uses.

    The next point is that you're referencing CSS classes which are probably not in your CSS file - e.g. <p class="MsoNormal">. If it's not in your theme's CSS file WordPress will ignore it.

    In more general terms, WordPress has a bunch of HTML filters built in, so if you want to do pure HTML coding (XHTML!) you need to either add a plugin that gets around the filters or disable the Visual view.

    My suggestion is that you use the Visual view to do as much as you can and the HTML view if there's something you can't achieve in the visual view.

    For full HTML capability in the HTML view I use the Raw-HTML plugin - which I reviewed here:

    I second what abledragon said and would add that when you are copying from another program to WP, you copy/paste between the body tags and omit the rest.
