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.

Also, it might pay to have a look at [Roles and Capabilities](http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities). * 3) [http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Search_Page](http://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Search_Page) * Thread Starter [jayeshj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jayeshj/) * (@jayeshj) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posting-html-code-in-wordpress/#post-374469) * Hi Karrde, * Thank you for the guidance. * It was really helpful.

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 (`, , ` 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… * Thread Starter [jayeshj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jayeshj/) * (@jayeshj) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posting-html-code-in-wordpress/#post-374490) * 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. * [Chris_K](https://wordpress.org/support/users/handysolo/) * (@handysolo) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posting-html-code-in-wordpress/#post-374492) * 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 `` 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/](http://priyadi.net/archives/2005/09/27/wordpress-plugin-code-autoescape/) * Only wrinkle is remembering to turn off the wysiwyg editor before inserting code. 🙂 * [ladydelaluna](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ladydelaluna/) * (@ladydelaluna) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posting-html-code-in-wordpress/#post-374508) * 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”. * Thread Starter [jayeshj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jayeshj/) * (@jayeshj) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posting-html-code-in-wordpress/#post-374667) * 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. * [refnulf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/refnulf/) * (@refnulf) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posting-html-code-in-wordpress/#post-374909) * 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: * `` * imeem says the wordpress doesn’t actually allow this. that’s a shame. * are there any plans for allowing in the near future tho?
