Convert HTML pages to WordPress pages

At the beginning (of the web) all web sites were created with nothing else than text and HTML. Web sites are much more complicated. Try it out, the world's first website! To a large extent, this is due to open code such as WordPress. The, in the last ten years or so, have managed to democratise their main task, namely on-line publication (and much more in this process), so that anyone with a WordPress installation and the right theme/plugins can have a contemporary website with progressive designs and functionalities.

It is one of the most progressive WordPress topics on the today's markets. But the most apparent is that they just don't know how to turn their HTML page into a WordPress page. Above all, without having to lose contents or make too much page-based formattings. Fortunately, as is often the case with WordPress, there are a number of ways to solve this issue.

Your decision to transform your HTML page into a WordPress page will undoubtedly vary depending on your preferences, the amount of money you want to invest and your knowledge of how to handle it. Build a WordPress topic manual from your actual HTML page. That requires that you get into your own coding.

It is necessary to FTP to your location folder and use your old location source as your point of departure. You have to generate the necessary WordPress topic data and copy parts of the WordPress text from there. Quickly and easily deploy a ready-made design and easily move your contents.

Suppose you already have web site hosted for your site, you only need to pay if you decide to buy a premier site. We will use the plug-in to import contents, which is available for free in the WordPress plug-in repository. To have an HTML to WordPress converting paid for, rebuild your website.

However, it won't do much to familiarize you with WordPress, and the costs will differ according to who you want to rent. Do you want to build a WordPress locally instead? As soon as you have decided, you have to download WordPress and login to WP Admin. When your aim is not only to get your contents from your HTML page into WordPress, but also to copy your actual layout, it means that you have to make your own customized layout.

All you need to do is make a few directories and file, copy and pasted a little and upload the results. You need a source file like Sublime or Notepad++ and you need direct acces to the HTML page and the WordPress installation of your new WordPress system. Make a new file on your computer that contains your topic file.

Call it what you want your designs to be called. Next, make a few small pieces of data (all of which fit into your new topic folder) in your source tree. Duplicating a style probably means that you have at least one style sheet that you want to store. Store and exit the data set.

So before we get to the third stage, let me give you a brief hint on how WordPress works. The WordPress application uses PHP to fetch and recall information from the base application databases. Every single piece of information we use in this little guide is developed to tell WordPress what part of your page should be shown and where.

So, when I say that we will "crush" your current HTML, we just cut and insert parts of your current HTML into the different pieces we just create so WordPress knows where to view them. Include this section in your headers. Copy this section into your headers. pdf document, saving and closing.

Include this section in your side bar. Copy this section into your side bar. pdf files, saving and closing. Third, in your index. html choose everything after your Sidebar and copy and past it into your bottom line. save your PhP files and exit. html choose everything that is remaining (this should be the root ) and past it into your index. PhP files.

Store, but do not yet exit. To complete the index of your new topic, you must ensure that it can access the other section (next to the body of content) contained in the other documents you have made. It is the primal string of phone number that WordPress uses to show your contribution to people.

Thus the last stage in the creation of the index of your new topic. php-Datei is to add the below mentioned codes within the contents area. Store your index. xphp and exit. Your topic is now ready! The only thing that remains is to download it to your WordPress website. Since you have already made your topic folders and they are all saved in your new topic folders, you need to open the new WordPress installation location.

Put your new topic folders in /wp-content/themes/. Browse back to WP Admin > Appearance> Themes and your new design should appear there. The only thing you need to do at this point is to fill your new WordPress website with the contents of your old website. To see how this is done, please refer to the following section (skip the section on using a pre-built design).

Rather than turning any of the designs you're working with into a WordPress topic, you can use one of the more than a thousand topics available in the wider WordPress Warehouse. As soon as you have selected a topic you like (and download the zip file), you will want to go back to WP Admin > Appearance > Themes and Add New and install/activate your new WordPress themed.

As soon as this is done, you have a new WordPress website and a new design - but nothing else. Previewing your website will leave it empty of contents and probably look kind of bore. That' okay, because next we will be importing the contents of your old website. Then you will live all your old contents on WordPress and have your new design on it.
