I was all ready to install it already. I guess I’m just to early. ??

Thanks Otto42. My guess is that WordPress only updates the feed ever so many minutes so I’ll have to wait for that. ??

I’m sure this feature has to be a possibility.

Thanks everyone. I got this error this morning and repaired my table and it works great now. ??

Sorry forgot about the post. ??

Just run your pages like any other. Forms all work just as if they were uploaded on any other server. The only thing you’ll want to do is have the script that precesses the PHP form separate from the rest of WordPress. Meaning not in a template. Course, a custom page could probably do it.

Ohh and make sure to use $_POST as stated above.

I’ve started getting this error recently and I was using gzip for months. All of a sudden it’s having issues? I don’t get it.

Disabling gzip worked, but how come it started to freak out?

manstraw – I’m trying to host a web based tool on a domain that has WordPress installed at the top level. However, I didn’t want WordPress to interfere with the tools use as the tool has nothing to do with the blog.

JasonFun – From what I’ve seen (briefly), WordPress doesn’t touch files in other folders.

I’m an idiot. ??

I’m sorry to have wasted everyone’s time. It seems that I’ve been chasing all the wrong problems and I just needed a good kick in the head to think straight.

WordPress does exactly what I want, I just didn’t try it. ??

Again, my apologies. I was doing everything the hard way.

manstraw – The question is “How can I create a directory, or pages, completely separate from WordPress so I can run my custom code?”

The plugin is not the tool. The tool is the form. Two PHP pages, 5 PHP include files and lots of variables and images. I’m not trying to implement the Chicklet Creator code on the blog, but the Chicklet Creators entire web application. AKA: Hosting the application on a different site.

The tool is the Chicklet Creator https://www.twistermc.com/shake/RSS-index.php and it’s going to be hosted on https://www.toprankblog.com

The issues:
1) $_POST form variables are not passed to files that are included in the code page, thus I’m having to re-write everything.
2) WordPress won’t display the WordPress specific functions on the code page.

What I’ve come to figure out is that it’d be much better if I could just create a /tools/ folder and put my files in there. Then tell WordPress to not to control that folder.

Solved: Have to use $_POST not $_post

Still, I can’t get the post variables to show up on the thanks page. No matter what, the post variables don’t seem to be making it.

Ok, changing the input name from element from ‘name’ to ‘name1’ fixed the 404 issue, but the PHP is not working. I think that just needs a plugin. Humm….. so much closer. ??

Here is my example: https://www.twistermc.com/blog/formtest/

When you submit the form it says ‘404 not found’ but if you just try to load the thanks page url https://www.twistermc.com/blog/formthanks/ without submitting the form, it works fine.

Why is that and how do I fix it?

moshu – My form still doesn’t seem to be able to submit to another page. I’ll try and create an example to post here. ??
