  • If you want a one time transfer from your PC to your website, I would open the file and copy all text, then open a new page in WordPress and paste. If you want to maintain the spacing, put it in a <pre> </pre> tag.

    If you intend to change the files and want the changes uploaded or transferred on a schedule, that’s entirely different. There are plugins that help you present files from your server. You could FTP the files regularly, and have the plugin present the file on a page (usually with a shortcode).

    I want to change the text files and those changes to be presented..so I may need a plugin.do you know of a specific one to try?

    Here’s one:

    I use the GREAT Plugin WP All Import for things like that. You can import regularly with cron jobs and it’s pretty easy to handle, depending on your setup.
    Good Luck
