Title: Inline Page Wrapper Functionality Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Inline Page Wrapper Functionality * Resolved [benau](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benau/) * (@benau) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inline-page-wrapper-functionality/) * Is there a simple way to get a WordPress page to display the contents of a file hosted on another server instead of itself? * I developed my site (www.ecsa.edu.au) with MamboServer which has a wrapper function for external pages. In Mambo I can click the link to ‘ECSA E-list’ and using this wrapper function to have and external page ([https://listserver.flinders.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/ecsa](https://listserver.flinders.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/ecsa)) load instead. * I’ve tried all sorts of plugins and to customise template files to no avail. * Many thanks, * Ben Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * [Kafkaesqui](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kafkaesqui/) * (@kafkaesqui) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inline-page-wrapper-functionality/#post-347457) * Sounds like this plugin would be what you’re after: * [http://www.redalt.com/downloads/#redirectify](http://www.redalt.com/downloads/#redirectify) * Unless I’m misunderstanding the request… * Thread Starter [benau](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benau/) * (@benau) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inline-page-wrapper-functionality/#post-347460) * Kafkaesqui – thanks for your swift response. On your advice I have just now installed and got working the redirectify plugin. However, this plugin simply redirects the browser to another URL rather than loading content inplace of the post. Any other thoughts much appreciated. * See how I have achieved this with MamboServer here: [http://www.ecsa.edu.au/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=37](http://www.ecsa.edu.au/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=37) * Ben * Thread Starter [benau](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benau/) * (@benau) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inline-page-wrapper-functionality/#post-347463) * OK…I just tried creating a template file called elist.php based on archives.php in the WP 2.0 default theme. My code looks like this: * * *

ECSA E-list

* * I created a new page, gave it a title and simply set its template to E-list. * What I get, however, is a busted junky result: * [http://www.ecsa.edu.au/ethicaltheory/?page_id=14](http://www.ecsa.edu.au/ethicaltheory/?page_id=14) * The error message is: * Warning: main(): SSL: fatal protocol error in [https://listserver.flinders.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/ecsa](https://listserver.flinders.edu.au/mailman/listinfo/ecsa) on line * [Nnyan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nnyan/) * (@nnyan) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inline-page-wrapper-functionality/#post-347464) * I feel your pain, I’ve been looking for something like this for dynamic content and never found anything. I come from CPGNuke and e107 each with had a wrapper type plugin that allow me to do this easy. * If you have static content things like StaticJack, EZStatic, PageLinksTo, SafeInlcudes, etc… work fine. But for anything that has some dynamic element you’re hosed after the first page. * Thread Starter [benau](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benau/) * (@benau) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inline-page-wrapper-functionality/#post-347711) * I have solved this problem thanks to the superlative online citizen Ronald Heft( [http://cavemonkey50.com/aboutme/](http://cavemonkey50.com/aboutme/)). I simply used an i-frame in my post. On closer investigation, Mambo Server uses i-frames as well. In my post (and with only the WP native post editing tools on – editormonkey messes with code as far as I can see) I used this code: * `` * [whooami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whooami/) * (@whooami) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inline-page-wrapper-functionality/#post-347712) * iframes suck. theyre depreciated, and are easily misued * the above stolen from Kafkaesqui. * Thread Starter [benau](https://wordpress.org/support/users/benau/) * (@benau) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inline-page-wrapper-functionality/#post-347716) * Thanks whooami. I’m just new to this, but I understand that although I-frames won’t exist in future versions of HTML, it exists in the current specs, so that means it’s safe to use? * Any suggestions on how to achieve the task I have without I-frames? * Cheers, * B * [whooami](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whooami/) * (@whooami) * [20 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inline-page-wrapper-functionality/#post-347717) * no I know..
