I have imported a static html site into WordPress using the WordPress HTML imported plugin. However process was not completed hence many page links are not working. Once I edit the imported page then permalinks are working. It seems alias are not generated for all the imported pages. Is there any WordPress function available to automate the process ?
Not sure if this helps or not as I dont know how you set up your old static html site.
Try go to your wp admin site -> settings -> Permalink then pick the one close to your static html site.

my website using wordpress template and I want to edit the homepage but I can't find the source file of the homepage...i go to chrome - view source but can't find the index.php that has the source code of the homepage
how to find the file of the source code of the homepage
its depending on the file used by author. by the way, most of the themes have, home.php
front-page.php
index.php
otherwise, we can create a custom page in wp-admin and assign it as home page or front page to a wordpress, that will be configured on the settings page.
Go through it.

I was wondering how I can export the whole template on WordPress. There is export under tools, but it only exports the database. I have edited the WordPress template and I would want to use this template for another website. How would I be able to do this?
I think its not enough to copy the theme folder to another WordPress because some themes needs some extra plugins to work Ex. theme builders etc.. and there may be database related configs
to clone a word press website
export the database using a tool like phpMyadmin
import database
copy whole WordPress website including all files (you can use filezilla ftp client for this or use hosting panel. there should be a file manager compress the all files and take)
find the wp-config file in the root and change the new db, usernames, password ..
you may need to login to the wordpress dashboard -- > settings --> general and change the wordpress base URL
it should work
With an FTP program you can download all the template files from /wp-content/themes/[YOUR TEMPLATE NAME]
There are different plugin for exporting Wordpress pages to HTML/CSS files.
One of them is "Export WP Page to Static HTML/CSS" from ReCorp
Sorry if this question is too basic (It would be great if someone could recommend me on a good resource/tutorial for starting up with wordpress development)
I am new to wordpress development. And I work on a Mac.
I downloaded MAMP, installed wordpress, and installed a custom theme which I bought online.
So far, I've been using the wordpress wp-admin interface to customize the theme.
I created a new Page called "myPage". I'm interested in making some design changes to myPage but the wp-admin tool is limited and I realized I have to start looking/modifying the code.
I'm using Netbeans, and created a new project of my local wordpress folder which contains the wp-admin, wp-content, wp-include folders.
However, I am not sure where in the code to find the page I created "myPage", in order to modify it.
I ran a search on all the code but I don't find any mention of it.
I guess my custom page is saved elsewhere? in the database?
Thanks!
Drill down through wp-content > themes > to your theme's folder. Inside there you will find a file called page.php. That is your default page template. To double check this is the page being used, in your wordpress backend, edit the page and on the right hand side in the 'page attributes' panel, you will see a dropdown under 'Template'. You're purchased theme may have many templates, so that is how you can tell which one is being used.
Note: Creating a page inside of the wordpress backend does not actually create a new page file for that page.
Hope this helps.
Yea, you can find your page in DB, check out link for more info.
To access your database, you need to go to url http://localhost/phpMyAdmin/ if everything is set right; or your local IP/phpMyAdmin/ if host alias is not set.
EDITED
If you are looking for file, you should look in wpfolder/wp-content/themes/some-theme/ and now ether page.php or content-page.php I am not sure.
I'm facing problems with Wordpress's permalink structure, with a set custom structure : %postname%. I want to display the page as page.html... I've used html on pages plugins for that. It is working on the local server but not working on the live server.
Any Ideas?
I uploaded my wordpress site from my Local host to a folder off my main domain (http://example.com/folder) using this tutorial http://www.webdesignerwall.com/tutorials/exporting-and-importing-wordpress/
(im working on a mac)
Everything went ok - admin panel is fine homepage is fine etc - only any page apart from the homepage redirects to this (http://example.com/folder/pagename) except instead of showing the content from that page it shows the unstyled information from the index page of my main root (http://example.com/)
What can I do to get this working?
Thanks
Do a general search with phpMyAdmin in your database for localhost URLs. And see How to Find and Replace Text in WordPress MySQL Database using SQL When Changing Domains » My Digital Life and Search RegEx « WordPress Plugins for grepping through posts and pages.
Better yet, use interconnectit.com WordPress Serialized PHP Search Replace Tool
And check your theme files for hardcoded links (as opposed to links using Template Tags/bloginfo « WordPress Codex
) to style sheets and pages.
Reset permalinks in Dashboard/Settings/Permalinks.
Check:
wp-admin > Settings > Wordpress address and Blog address
to include "folder"
to get this working ... delete all the posts/pages - go to ur local wordpress blog and export it.
login to ur web blog and import.
that would be an alternative solution to working with the database and as far as i know exporting/importing content works good in wp :)
