I've got a wordpress blog and I'm about to start building a list. I've never built one with workpress on need some technical help.

Is there a way to create HTML pages in Wordpress.

If so how would I make them 'no index'

If not how can I create a .PHP file that's seperate from my blog without all of the formatting stuff.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanx

  • Plugins plugins plugins..!!

    Everything can be done! Meta Plugin, List Building Plugin etc can help you. You can make finest html pages, (customizing hiding sidebars too)!!

    Just go - wp-admin->plugins->add-new-plugins-> Shoot searches. You will get it. If you still fails buzz me I can find some exact plugins for you, no problem!

  • The idea behind wordpress though is to never again use a static html file. All of what you want to do can be achieved as stated either with plugins, or you could simply use a text widget in a sidebar, you could widgetize a page or post via a template and add your form via widgets still. You could also make a template that has your form code right in there. And still there are many more options.

    In all of these examples, a static html page is not needed.

  • Thanks for the help, I'm gonna search for a plugin now.
  • Ok, thanks again for the advice, I have a hide page from navigation/no index plugin, a mailchimp plugin. I need 1 more thing that I'm having trouble with.

    How do I create a seperate theme for my squeeze, and OTO. I read you can just upload a seperate template and I've seen a demonstration but I just don't know how to do it.
  • This is where it starts to get a little technical. First you need to create a template file with any php or styling that it will need and save it as template-name.php. In the comment URI you'll need to declare the file as a template. Then finally you upload that to your theme directory via ftp.

    Check out the the wordpress .org site and search around a bit. There are thousand upon thousands of how to's on this.

    • usually I do in this way - upload a particular template or style file in php format. will create an wordpress page (add new page) in html and use this particular template as the page template while the sidebars can either be kept or hidden!!


  • Why not just create a new folder in you root directory and upload your html or php based squeeze page template to it and just link to it from your Wordpress blog? Then you can add noindex, nofollow, noarchive tags to whichever pages you please, such as a download page.
