I have been trying to create just one page based on the Wordpress CMS called blog. Now this page created will need to be linked to my normal website which was created using the foundation framework HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
I am having no luck in linking my website to the Wordpress blog page website. I have been told to create a sub-folder within the public_html folder in Filezilla. I just can't seem to migrate both of them together.

I have a simple jekyll site and am trying to get netlify cms to work as the editor for the pages aswell as the posts.
If I tryt o move the pages into a pages folder in the the custom collections folder then it doesn't seem to build them unless they have an .md extension but the pages have plenty fo custom html in them and using .md appears to render the html on the page as text not html.
If I leave the pages in the root then netlify cms doesn't pick them up however I configure it.
There are 3 main kinds of page, Home page, a second level gateway type page, content pages
and then blog posts.
How should I configure this so that netlify can edit my pages and users can create new pages?

Thanks.
Netlify CMS is a great system. However, if you want a WordPress-like experience that is also very forgiving for the developer, I recommend CloudCannon. This is a paid CMS, but it supports visual editing, which means any static page with <div class='editable'></div> can be edited within their system. It also supports image resizing. Creating new pages in CloudCannon is as simple as cloning old ones and renaming them. It is absolutely worth checking out.
Back to your question... It seems like you wrote 'page' instead of 'pages' in your config.yml file. Here is a working config file for Netlify, in which you can see that the correct name is 'pages'.
PS. I noticed you have a 'customcollections' folder. This seems odd to me. Aren't all collections custom collections in Jekyll?
I have developed a website using xampp. And I want it to replace a current website on Wordpress.
I tried looking for tutorial/steps online, have tried a few, nothing seems to work.
I desperately need to upload it, so it would replace the current website. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S: the website is fully static, no database is required.
Remove everything in the wordpress folder (or move it to a subfolder for the time being while you test) via ftp and upload the html site. As long as your new site has a index.html/index.htm it will replace the wordpress site at the url.
Step 1. Create Template in theme folder
Step 2. Give Template at the top of the page Like this
Step 3. Place all Html code below the template name
Step 4. Go to wordpress dashborad choose your template 'CustomPageT1' from dropdown

I want to make a single page HTML site. I have made the template, but I wanted to know how to make it go live on my hosting.
I have tried many things but none of them work, I don't want to use any CMS, just a plain and simple HTML site. I have both a domain and hosting.
If as "template" you mean HTML file than you should name your file as index.html and upload it via FTP to the work directory of your hosting server.
So I have been using the foundation framework to create my website. Its full of HTML,CSS,JS and images. I was looking at a tutorial from HTML to Wordpress conversion. I understanding having separate files called header.php, footer.php, aside.php and index.php.
What I don't understand that has not been spoken about is I have 3 pages in my website. HOME , ABOUTUS and FAQ. They all have the same footer and header. Is the index.php a template for the actual theme from which I can build upon to create the other pages or do I have to do this process manually for each file.
the index.php is your front page. The page.php file includes your pages but you have to create the file. Please read a tutorial how to do this. If you would like to create a page you should copy the content from your HOME, ABOUTUS, FAQ in the textfield in wordpress where you create your pages. HTML is allowed it should be no problem but you have to remove the header and footer from HOME, ABOUTUS and FAQ because you include it in your theme. If you would like to use a menu on your website which display the links to your pages you have to register a menu in your functions.php and to include it in the header, footer, page.php, index.php etc. But read a tutorial, please. After that you should know how to create a WordPress theme
I have a WordPress site with a couple of posts on it. To this site I need to add a few HTML pages (including index.html). I need both of them to work properly.
The home page should be the index.html page, and all its links(HTML pages).
The previous site URL's i.e. WordPress URL's should also work.
I put them together and the index.html page displays as home page, the subpages(HTML) also work fine. Although all WordPress URL's are re-directing to the index.html itself.
Is this possible? How do I make the old WordPress URL's work fine (i.e. not redirect the index.html page)?
When dealing with issues like this, I like to create page templates in Wordpress (with page names like About, Projects, etc.) And then I create a .php file using the slug title of it (so a projects page will correspond to a .php file called 'page-projects.php'
One example being I make a page called 'about', then I create 'page-about.php' in my Wordpress directory. The Wordpress Template Hierarchy will, along the way, look for a .php file called 'page-about.php'
A solution like this is great because those pages are linked through your site, so using /about or /projects will bring you to the proper pages instead of redirecting to the main page (because it redirects to your index when Wordpress can't find any other suitable template to display)
