How to Add an shtml file to Wordpress

Question

I'm trying to pull in data from another site via an iFrame. The other site requires that we have an shtml file within Wordpress using our vantage theme. Wordpress doesn't have urls that end in .shtml How can I add this file to wordpress?

Answer 1

Since WordPress doesn't recognize this file type by default, you'll need to add it.

Append this to your functions.php file in your theme:

function my_theme_custom_upload_mimes( $existing_mimes ) {
// add shtml to the list of mime types
$existing_mimes['shtml'] = 'text/html';

// return the array back to the function with our added mime type
return $existing_mimes;
}
add_filter( 'mime_types', 'my_theme_custom_upload_mimes' );
