I would like to redirect my WordPress website to the homepage
For example, when the user goes to the following address
mywebsite.com
It will redirect to
mywebsite.com/homepage
What is the best way to do it?
Thanks
Go to Administration > Settings > Reading panel.
Set Front page displays to a static page
In the drop down menu for Front Page select "Home."
In the drop down menu for Posts page select "Blog" or the name you
created, or leave it blank if you will not feature posts on the
site.
Save changes.
Using .htaccess :
RewriteRule mywebsite.com$ mywebsite.com/homepage [R=301,L]
Usage of Redirection plugin will do the trick for you. and It is one of the very Easiest method.
Plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/
Install this plugin and you will find the settings page and you can provide the URL over to there.
After Installation of the Plugin it will appear on Tools Menu under the Admin Dashboard.

How do I add a /lang to the home url of a Wordpress site? I've got a project with a special Wordpress multisite setup instead of a language plugin setup. I need to be able to set the homepage to www.homepage.com/lang-1 without always having the /lang-1 in every url.
I've tried doing this via permalinks but Wordpress redirects to the link without /lang-1. Is there a way to fix this? I know how to change the home page but I want to change the link to the home page.
To set the home page with custom page
Click on Settings >> Reading in your admin dashboard.
Set Your homepage displays to A static page (2nd option)
Select the static page we created (lang-1) as the Homepage
4 .Click Save.
I have installed wordpress inside one folder called blog. when we open the blog, the blog links are broken 404 page error. How do i fix this issue, if its installed on root directory it will work, but this time it is directory, Is there any way to fix this issue
Normally such issues can be fixed easily by refreshing your permalinks. To do that go to WP > Settings > Permalinks and click on the save button once.
On some servers it is not allowed to edit .htaccess by clicking save in that section, therefore if you get an error; contact your hosting provider.
You may also want to check that the URL of your site corresponds to the URLs shown inside of WP > Settings > General.
First ensure your server support rewrite_ module
1.Login your WordPress dashboard
2. Click Settings
3.click Permalinks and change your permalink then click save
I've just installed WordPress and I want to work on the theme. So I need to have an under construction page. I made an under.html file and addressed it in the .htaccess file as a default page.
But when I want to go to mydomain.com/index.php to see the WordPress main page and work on the theme, It redirects to mydomain.com again and shows me that under.html.
Any solution to have both under.html as the default page and the wordpress first page at the same time?
If you want to show an under construction page, you can simply use a plugin.

Hope this will work for you.
I have a wordpress installation on a wp folder.
I need my clients write
www.example.com
in the browser, and the page
'about'
to be displayed, preserving the www.example.com address, not showing the www.example.com/wp/about/ address.
Which are the proper way to do this?.
You can assign it by go to setting -> Reading and choose the page you want to display at Front page displays. You can choose either page or posts.
Just update WordPress.
This bug is not present in current versions...
For some reason my blog posts are creating their own URL's.
Blog is on www.website.com/blog/ but when I make a new post, the new post URL is www.website.com/new-post-url/.
What I want is for the blog posts URL to be www.website.com/blog/new-post-url/ as their URL.
I use All in One SEO as my SEO plugin (if that matters).
You should check your blog setting.
login as administrator and go Settings >> General Settings
check here Site Address (URL). This should be http://www.website.com/blog
Hope this is helpful.
all the best ;)

Have you checked your .htaccess file?
Because you when you're having /blog kind of redirect to your WordPress Blog then you must have to add below code in your .htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www.)?website.com$
RewriteRule ^(/)?$ blog [L]
Go to Settings -> PermaLinks from Dashboard and select Custom Structure
give /blog/%postname%/
Check your blog by going to any post/page.
Log into your Wordpress admin panel and check to ensure that permalinks are set to the appropriate settings. Also check to make sure that your theme is not overriding the settings you might have chosen. Some themes for example can explicitly request you set a blog page for the blog posting which can interfere with what you assume to be happening.
Your go to admin page and click setting page, change the url types.
