I found the solution: <?php the_excerpt(); ?>.

I found out that to create a custom search page, I use a page in the theme called search.php. However, I want it to be able to display just part of the text of a page (preferably the part that contains the keywords being searched for). I was able to use <?php the_content(‘Rest’); ?> to display the page content, but that displays the entire page, including images.

Also, I haven’t been able to find a plugin that runs ASP files, so if anyone can refer me to one that would be helpful.

Sorry, but I am not allowed to show people the website so I cannot post a link. The only page that is not showing up is on https://mydomain/services/. I wonder if “services” is a reserved name that could be causing a conflict.

I just renamed a URL of one of the pages that was not displaying content, and then it displayed content. However, when I renamed the URL back, the content dissappeared again. So it seems like this problem has something to do with the URLs.

I just added a template name to the index.php file in my themes directory. The template option appeared, but it still did not display content.

No, I haven’t created any templates.

I don’t see where I would check to see what template the pages are using. I know I’ve seen this option in the past, but I don’t see it now. I think I’ve seen it under “page attributes” in the past, but right now under “page attributes” all I see is parent and order options.

That was simple. Thanks for the help.

Never mind. I found my answer on this thread: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/where-do-i-upload-a-javascript-file-in-the-file-heirarchy?replies=5 .

What I’m trying to achieve is to transfer an HTML document into WordPress. I copied and pasted the source code of the HTML document into a new page in WordPress but this leaves a header and footer and a place to leave comments, none of which I want. I need to make the WordPress page look exactly like the original HTML page.

Thanks for that link. However, it does not fully answer my question. The page says to add the tag <script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/emailpage.js"></script> to load a page into WordPress but it does not explain how to put the file emailpage.js into the WordPress system.

Thanks for the quick response. I created a blank template but it caused my whole page to end up blank instead of displaying only content without other aspects of the theme. I used the following code to make the blank template:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Blank Template
*/
?>

I experimented by adding code like <!-- #content --> and <?php the_content(); ?> to the template (based on what I saw at the page.php template for the twentyeleven theme) but it still did not work.

I am new to WordPress and I cannot tell if I am on the admin dashboard or not but since there was no appearance I guess it is not the admin dashboard. Is there a way to add CSS to a page without access to the admin dashboard?

There is no appearance tab on my dashboard.
