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.

    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:
    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 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.
  • Make a html page in your keep it in index, header, file etc,
    Page->edit your page-> template->give the page name in which you keep your html.
