"I want my WordPress site to look exactly like the

HTML site I coded — as the main site — but still


keep WordPress working in the background, so I
can use plugins, blog, etc."

✅ My Goal in Simple Words:


Use the design and layout from your full HTML code.

Keep WordPress running behind the scenes.

Install plugins, manage content from WordPress dashboard.

Site shows at https://yourdomain.com (not in a folder).

Everything looks like your HTML, but powered by WordPress.

🔧 The Solution: Convert your HTML site


into a WordPress theme
This means wrapping your HTML site structure into WordPress's PHP theme
structure.

🧰 Step-by-Step Overview (Basic Version)


You need to create a custom WordPress theme using
your HTML files.

✅ 1. Prepare your HTML site files

Make sure your HTML is clean and structured — usually you have:

index.html
style.css

/css, /js, /images, etc.

✅ 2. Set up a new WordPress theme

In your WordPress hosting:

Go to wp-content/themes/

Create a new folder, e.g., mycustomtheme

Inside that folder, you need these basic files:

style.css
index.php
functions.php
header.php
footer.php

✅ 3. Start converting your HTML to theme files

You take your index.html and split it:

Goes
Part
into
Everything before <body> or header header.ph
section p
Main content area index.php
footer.ph
Footer area (scripts, etc.)
p

Add WordPress template tags:

For example, replace hard-coded titles and menus with:

<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></title>


<?php wp_head(); ?>

In footer.php, add:

<?php wp_footer(); ?>


✅ 4. Activate your theme

Go to Appearance > Themes


You’ll see My Custom Theme


Activate it — now your WordPress site uses your HTML design!

✅ BONUS: Still Use Plugins & Pages


After this setup:

You can install plugins as usual


You can enable menus, blog posts, etc.


You can edit content in WordPress while keeping your original design


💡 Easier Alternative: Use a Page Builder
If this sounds too technical, you can also recreate your HTML layout using a
WordPress page builder like:
