hi guys. I have a blog on which i have content and i want to keep the current theme...However, i want to add something like www.mysitename.com/free-ebook where i have a squeeze page.

I want the squeeze page to be the platform wp theme,but i just want it for that page, the rest of the website i want it to be my other theme which is custom made ...how is that done?

thanks a lot

Did you try what I suggested on your other thread?

This works, I've tested it myself...

You can create as many static html internal squeeze pages as you want with Wordpress.

It's the exact same as building a static page, all you need is the exact URL to the directory that holds the html page.

1) Create a new folder on your desktop named squeeze-pages (or whatever).

2) Create the new squeeze page (page1.html).

3) Put the page1.html inside the squeeze-pages folder on your desktop.

4) Open your ftp, I use filezilla for ftp

5) Login to your online host via filezilla (File > Site Manager).

6) Find the public_html directory (folder) on filezilla, in the "Remote Site" pane.

7) Click on the name of the domain folder (directory).

8) Drag the squeeze-pages folder into the folder in step #7 on filezilla.

9) Refresh filezilla at the top Nav. bar.

You need to hard code the url on your wordpress theme php files. For this example the path of the URL will be:

<a href="hxxp://domain.com/squeeze-pages/page1.html">Squeeze Pages</a>

Change the hxxp to http

Add as many new html squeeze pages in the squeeze-pages folder as you need with filezilla (drag/drop).

I noticed that the OP didn't answer your proposal.

I just wanted to thank you for the instructions, this is exactly what I was looking for!

ps. How do I give "thanks"? Can't find this anywhere?
Or do I maybe have to have a certain amount of posts to be able to be thankful

Great tip. I've worked a lot with Wordpress but never knew quite how to do this.

I think Warrior forum has limits until you reach 50 forum post.

Really the only thing that's difficult is finding the path of the root directory for your site, the rest is basic html code. Just hard code links on the Wordpress theme/post whenever you need to send traffic to the squeeze page.

If you only go one folder deep below the root directory the URL to the squeeze page will always be short.

Example: hxxp://domain.com/squeeze-pages/page1.html

Your welcome btw.
