HOW DO I FIND A BLANK PAGE TO USE IN WP? (NO BANNER OR SIDEBAR)

  • A friend of mine wants be to update his blog site with news, I thought I’d try a bullet news box with a slide bar on the side linked to a blank page (No Banner) just a blank page with the news links on it — news box and slide bar as seen here (scroll down a notch):

    Does WP provide a way to access a blank white page to post links on in this fashion?

    I’m sure it must, his site is using WP version 2.0.2 — 0.17

    I am an amateur as to WP but with some knowledge of HTML code –

    TIA – on any advice is much appreciated

    Thanks FZN

  • In the WP admin go to Write > Page and make a new page with whatever title you’d like (News?). Then click on the “html” button on the text editor’s button bar. Put this code in the window that pops up:

    <iframe height="200" width="385" src="https://www.your-news-links.com" FRAMEBORDER=0>&nbsp;</iframe>

    Hit the “update button and save the the page.

    This worked for me. Also, I found I had to put the &nbsp; to keep WP from striping the code out. It doesn’t like empty tags.

    Thanks for your reply my friend. I’m afraid I’ve got the code figured out, but what I need to do is access a page in WP that has nothing on it – no title, no banner, no side bar – just a plain blank page from side to side, from top to bottom that I can post news story links on –

    For an example, from the link in my first post, his news box linked to this blank page with only news links on it – which is also hooked up to a hourly updated RSS news feed:

    If I link a news box to the WP’s Write Page it will still display the banner, title, date, print button etc.. etc.. INSIDE the box along with the news links, I need to access just a blank page in WP so only the newslinks will show in the box –

    I suppose I could get a separate site to put the news links on but if there is a way in WP it will save me the trouble –

    Thanks in advance for any replies,

    Maybe this helps?

    You need to set up that blank page on your own and put it in your WP directory. When I did something like this (not an RSS page mind you, it was an image gallery with it’s own nav https://chrisjagers.net/wp/?page_id=61 ) I had to set up a mini-site that just had the content I needed. This site had no template from my WP theme in it. It was all manual. Then I simply directed the iframe to it. I’m sure there is a better way though…
