WordPress Question - Page 1

So I've read a few posts about inserting forms into WP pages and it seemed pretty straightforward, but I'm not having the success I anticipated.

Can someone help?

I've read this: http://www.coffeecup.com/help/articles/ … ress-blog/

I suppose my big question is on a non-wordpress.com site, EXACTLY where do the files go?

I've tried placing them in the root folder of the WP install to no avail (404 error).
I've tried placing them in the wp-content folder of the WP install to no avail (404 error).

When the instructions from the link above say to "Upload the contents of the exported folder to the same location as the WordPress blog" where exactly does this mean?

I even tried using the optional hacking the code tip, also getting the same problem.

Any suggestions?

Thank you VERY much for any help. :)

Hi Todd,
Have you tried making the links in the form iframe script absolute?
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Eric, yes I tried that too. kept getting errors of page not found.

I've finally gotten the page to actually display using this: http://www.whitestonefellowship.com/upcoming-events/


<iframe height="830" id="fb_iframe" src="http://www.whitestonefellowship.com/hearingvoice/hearingvoice.html" style="border: none; background: transparent; overflow: hidden;" width="100%"></iframe>


This only worked when on the server I first created another folder www.whitestonefellowship.com/hearingvoice/ and then placed all the files into that folder. It displays sortof but does not actually work right.

Of course when I just directly upload the files outside of WP, all works easily and flawlessly.

I truly wish WFB worked seemlessly with WordPress, that'd make it my absolute goto for all things forms, but wow, this is much more difficult than it should be. :(

Any other suggestions?

The form works here Todd. It seems you are redirecting to a page that does not exist. Where is http://www.whitestonefellowship.com/HearingVoice.php located?

Simple way to get it to work is use S-Drive

S-drive is not an option Keith, thanks! :)

When I go to that page Scott, I just get a 404 error.

It is right there, that has been my problem.

I've moved it to
1) whitestonefellowship/HealingVoice/
2) whitestonefellowship/HealingVoice/HealingVoice/
3) whitestonefellowship/wp-content/HealingVoice/

Only #2 'sort of works' in that it allows the form to display on the page but everything then fails to work as the form workings all point to #1 as it should be.

I am totally lost on this, no matter where I put the files it gives me some type of error.

If I go to that exact folder via FTP all the files are right there.

I even went so far as to put the files in both places at the same time.
