How to set .html extension in pages in wordpress? - wordpress

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?

Including a wordpress blog as a subfolder

So I have a weird problem here, I have created a website with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript but I have it as a PHP file so I can interact with a Wordpress blog I have also created. I have the WordPress blog in a folder inside my website eg. mywebsite/blog. Now while developing on localhost, everything works pretty fine but when I finally hosted it on a live server, the blog seems to load without the CSS; here's a link to the blog https://www.dexafxacademy.com/blog. At this point, I am lost as this is my first time, including Wordpress as a subfolder, so I don't have an idea of what the problem could be. Note that this works well in my localhost.
Thanks for providing a link to your site!
Using the Web Inspector in Chrome, I see that the problem is likely in your WordPress settings.
WP is attempting to load all your assets from https://dexafxacademy/blog
The correct URL would be https://dexafxacademy.com/blog
In the WordPress admin of your production site (not local), head to Settings > General and make sure your WordPress Address and Site Address fields have the correct URL containing .com.

How to load my own website files rather than WordPress site when I open my website

I just brought a hosting space from GoDaddy and created a website using WordPress..
Now I have made my own website with HTML, CSS, JS etc. Now, I need to uploaded those files to cpanel file manager ..
But when I load my domain it loads only the default WordPress site rather than my own site which I created (HTML, CSS, JS)..
How to load that page by default instead of wordpress site?
You have to set your domain first and then remove all default files and code from that domain path and make zip of your code and upload your code.

WordPress Import from HTML

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.

Modifying custom Wordpress pages

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.

Wordpress upload from localhost to server

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 :)
