# link to "external" form

 * I am migrating a traditional html/css website to WordPress CMS. I have a few 
   forms that are already coded and running properly with their associated php scripts,
   and I want to link to those forms from the WP site
    (I have tried some of the
   form plugins, and would prefer to just use the forms I have so I don’t have to
   futz around with the formatting and stuff in the plugins).
 * My questions:
    (1) Is it possible to do this in WP? (1) If it is: I have a child
   theme built on a parent. Where should I put the “forms” folder so that I can 
   write the proper relative path? I tried putting it in both the child theme and
   parent theme directories, but when I click the link, I get “apologies, but no
   results were found for the requested archive”. (2) Would it be better to just
   have the “forms” folder on the server in the root directory rather than trying
   to put it in with the WP stuff? Would this mean that the WP folders could not
   then be in my root directory?
 * Site is currently in development on a local server, so can’t post a link.
 * Thanks.

 * To load the old forms from another site, you can use HTML IFRAME. If this is 
   new to you, you can use a generator like:

 * Regarding to the form location, just put on your WordPress site’s root, creating
   a folder for it. Just make sure to give a unique name, so it will not conflict
   with WordPress permalinks.
