    Hi

    I'm trying to upload a text file (.htm) as a post in wordpress but I cant get the contents of the file to show as a post/page, just comes up blank.

    Any ideas?

    Got a link?

    You could open the htm file in browser, copy the text and paste that into the WordPress Edit Post screen. It will work for text but not pictures.

    Can you provide urls to explain it?

    Ok so I'm guessing you are updatin the .htm file automatically from another site or other software

    Pretty easy to do, it will NOT however update the page in wordpress so to speak and subseqentially I dont think the search engines will reflect the content as updated. BUT it will display the contents from it.

    Simple Solution: use an Iframe and embed the .htm url.

    If I understand correctly, I think what you need to do is paste the html for the page into the HTML editor tab of the New Page in WordPress.

    From what he posted it looks to me like the HTM file is being written automatically (from somewhere) and he wants the wordpress post/page updated with its contents updated automatically as well ?

    I think you are right and your iframe suggestion is a good one.
