WordPress Plugin for Static Pages

Well over a year ago, I created two plugins for WordPress that make it easy to integrate files into WordPress and have the theme wrap around the content nicely.

For example, you could upload a PHP file with the following code:


<?php
echo ‘Hello World’;
?>

Call it ‘hello-world.php’, and upload it to a directory on your server.

Using my plugin, you would be able to call up www.yoursite.com/hello-world/ and see the content beautifully nested within your theme (layout, template, whatever you want to call it).

Based on some feedback, and some of my own observations, I’ve updated the plugin. I just need to re-test it a bit, and then I’ll upload for all to enjoy.

I figured it’s about time I posted about a something that fell in line with the title of the site: “Website tutorials and tools.”

Great to hear that the wonderful Static Jack plugin will receive an update, not that it really needs it. I use it for my contact page, and it’s always worked flawlessly for my basic needs. I was just adding it to the list of Wordpress-2-compatible plugins in the codex and thought I’d see what you were up to on your site.

Thanks for the great plugin.

Scott,
Thanks for adding it in. I need to update it a bit and add a new download page, but I’m happy to hear you’re getting some good use out of it.

Hey Jack. I’m trying to set up your plugin for a library of html files on my site (wp 2.5), but I’ve having a problem with my sidebar…. I retrieve recent posts using wp_get_archives(’type=postbypost&limit=10&format=custom’);

The problem is that the posts aren’t showing up. Is there any chance you can help with this?

Either way, thanks,

John
