Hi all

I use wordpress to publish my website. However, I also want to create some HTML pages as it is more flexible sometimes. But when I put the HTML page in public folder on web-hosting, I can't access through browser. Anyone can tell and why and how to solve?

Really thanks.

Dave

    IMO it's easier to stick any html pages directly inside the Wordpress directory folder, or make a sub-directory of the install folder.

    Example install location on a typical self hosted WP install:
    www ---> domain.com ---> html-folder
    I also use filezilla (free ftp) it's easy drag & drop from the desktop to the online host.

    Also, don't forget to add the .html to the URL when linking to the page or you'll probably get a 404.

    Coincidence! I have written a tutorial on adding HTML page in WordPress sites. Check here: Add Custom HTML webpage in WordPress - Smart Web Worker

    You should use Menu option in WordPress dashboard, after putting html pages into directory on the hosting.

    If all you need is a plain html squeeze page, it's easier to just create a regular html document & drag the page into the WP install folder (FTP).

    I agree, use Wordpress menu option. Make your custom menu and place it anywhere on your Wordpress site.
