    Hi All,

    I am pretty new to word press and is now updating my site's blog (wordpress) with few data. I want some help regarding the below

    1 ) I would like to post some data code ( html or php extra )

    For example I want to update the blog with a HTML code for some solution. When I try to do this I get a post which is blank.

    2 ) I want to make the blog read only. That only I should be the person posting the contents.

    3 ) How to enable search feature to locate the contents in the blog.

    I hope to get your guidance.

    I am not sure if these queries are repeated. I did search a bit but could not find the answers. Sorry, if these questions are duplicates.

    Thanks in advance for your time.

    1) Use the <code> and </code> tags around the HTML in your post, and it should display properly.

    2) To write a post, you generally need to have a username and password on the blog - just don't let anyone else register! Also, it might pay to have a look at Roles and Capabilities.

    Hi Karrde,

    I have posted the below data in to the blog.

    <html>

    <head>

    <title>abcd.com</title>

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

    </head>

    <script language="JavaScript">

    document.write("<frameset rows=* frameborder=NO border=0 framespacing=0 cols=*>");

    document.write("<frame name=main src=http://www.yahoo.com"+document.location.search+">");

    document.write("</frameset>");

    document.write("<noframes>");

    document.write("< body bgcolor=#FFFFFF text=#000000>");

    document.write("</body></noframes>");

    </script>

    </html>

    And the output I got again is a blank page. What am I doing wrong here.

    what the heck?!? You're putting that all in a post using the post editor?!?

    Um, why?

    WordPress, and the theme you're using, already provide all the framework (<html>, <head>, <body> tags, for instance).

    You, as author, provide content using the Write Post or Write Page options. Your theme provides layout.

    Perhaps if you explained a bit exactly what it is you're trying to do...

    Hi HandySolo,

    Sorry for putting that.

    I just want to put a blog post which has the above html code.

    But when I create a post like that I am getting a blank page. So I was adviced by Karrde to put the code with a block. I tried the same and it didn't work. So for explaining the same I had put the above code.

    Hope to get your valuable guidance.

    Ok, so all of that "gunk" above is what you want to show in a code block within a post? Gotcha.

    As you've noticed, just wedging it in <code> tags doesn't do much for you. There are a few plugins out there that will help though. I use: http://priyadi.net/archives/2005/09/27/wordpress-plugin-code-autoescape/

    Only wrinkle is remembering to turn off the wysiwyg editor before inserting code. :-)

    HS - I think he wants to have that code OUTPUT to the live site... I don't think he's trying to display the code, but rather thinks that it's necessary to post all that code in the editor to get a page/post.

    IF that's the case, jayeshj - the editor is designed for you to just TYPE what you want it to say in there - you don't need to use HTML to build a post/page on the site if you're using wordpress. You just type and hit "publish".

    Hi HandySolo,

    Yes you got me exactly.

    I am trying out the plugin now. Will get back if any further help is required.

    Thank you a lot all your guidance.

    ladydelaluna, thank you for the update.

    i just decided to post my query to this topic rather than create a new one..

    is there no-way to post html code? i didn't really understand much of what was said prior so forgive me...

    for example, i want to post the imeem playlist thingamajig, the code for which is:

    <object width=\"300\" height=\"290\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http://media.imeem.com/pl/3Ezbzi7hxO/aus=false/\"></param><param name=\"wmmode\" value=\"transparent\"></param><embed src=\"http://media.imeem.com/pl/3Ezbzi7hxO/aus=false/\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"300\" height=\"290\" wmode=\"transparent\"></embed></object>

    imeem says the wordpress doesn't actually allow this. that's a shame.

    are there any plans for allowing in the near future tho?
