i have a wordpress website,
I have created html page with background and logo and "Enter website" Button
I want visitors to see this page first, and when click on "Enter website" button, they get redirected to the wordpress home ( which is in the same directory ) page.
Kindly note that this trick is different than the "wordpress static page"
I want to keep the wordpress index the same ( show the latest posts )
And want to show the intro page only once!
My idea was to upload the intro page with "index.html" name
And when you click enter, the link will be "index.php" so you see the wordpress default index.
but it failed, i don't know why, but when i go to index.php, i see the index.html content!!! not the wordpress one!
currently i am thinking about doing this trick through the template index file and the php sessions which is difficult.
Any one know a plugin or a simple way to do the trick?
Thankyou
You can set landing page as index.html in root of your cpanel and then if any one click on button called Enter Website and then it will redirect to page called home that you have to create in wordpress admin (i.e. http://www.example.com/home).

I want my landing page the same as my home page. I want it not to have a "slug" or URL address after the site's name. So, for example, when you go to "www.example.com", I want that to be my home/landing page.
Right now, when I go to "example.com", I get a page I don't recognize and didn't design. To find my home page, I can click on Home in the navbar, but the "slug" is ?page_id=6.
In the edit screen, I have clicked through "Pages ➞ All Pages ➞ Home ➞ Quick Edit ➞ Slug" multiple times. It always says that the slug for this page is home, but this is not how it appears on the web.
Furthermore, I don't want the slug for this page to be home, I want it to not have a slug at all. As I said above, I want the bare site name (example.com) to take me straight to the homepage.
Why does WordPress keep replacing "home" with ?page_id=6? And why won't it allow me to remove the slug and make this page my landing page?
How can I fix this?
First of all, visit 'permalinks' under 'settings' in your dashboard. It shows many options how your page URL should look like instead of page=x.
Thereafter, read this from WordPress site on how to declare which is your 'home' page when the site is accessed directly with site URL. That should resolve your problems.
Furthermore, generate and download a backup of your site using plugins like 'Duplicator' or other you maybe using so that you can always revert to previous status in case anything goes very wrong.
Currently I am working on Wordpress one page website,I have anchor links on my page which shows content on click event .I want that the content can be modified from the wp-admin for those anchor links. In short it is static right now and the code is written in index.php file.I want to make it dynamic? Can it be done through Wordpress? if yes please suggest me how can i achieve this?
this is an link to my website http://www.laughingcart.com/
I am converting it to wordpress theme.
yes it is possible in wordpress to create dynamic page as home page.
know delete all your code that you have inserted in index.php and remain it as default.then access dashboard panel of the word press site then navigate to the Pages and create new page what ever you want modify your text place links and publish this page. then navigate to the setting->reading and select the front page from drop down and save it you can now see the you pages as home page

I made a wordpress theme myself and now I want to upload it without "wordpress" in the link: (example.com/wordpress/home) so it should be a normal link. I followed a tutorial to reach this. The whole site is visible in the correct way, but only the index page gives an error.
For example (index page not working):
http://protoformat.nl/
(working page):
http://protoformat.nl/home
The tutorial I followed is in Dutch, but I will add it to this post too:
http://wpsitebouw.nl/wordpress-verplaatsen-van-map-naar-hoofdmap/#
Who can help me with making the index page visible without an error? I already took out 'wordpress' from the link.
Thanks!!
Try this. You need to make sure
Go to Administration > Settings > Reading panel.
Set 'Front page displays:' to 'a static page' and choose the page you created
(your homepage) as the 'Front page.' If your WordPress site will contain a blog section, set 'Posts page' to the page you created for the blog. Otherwise, leave this blank.
Save changes.
Enable "Permalinks" to show the "page title" in the address.
I have WordPress installed in the main directory. I want to create a static page so that when the person clicks "click here". It goes to the wordpress blog.
I have tried this two ways thus far.
Created a custom page in wordpress and then had it set as a static page. Problem when someone clicked the linked it redirected back to the splash page.
Put the files in the main directory. Problem the person would have to go to www.example.com/splash.html to get there. I tried creating a htaccess but host gator will not let me.
edit: I figured it out using
<?php
if( (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], get_bloginfo('home')) === false) && !$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) :
?>
What is the purpose of the splash page if its just one link on it?
One option is to create your page within wordpress and set the frontpage to show as a static page (under settings > reading). On that page link to your /blog/ category or to a custom template page that displays all your blog posts.
If you want to have the same design as the page currently has, you can make a new template out of you current index.php file.

The simple option is to use a plugin.

Gives you the option to Continue on or go back.
I would like to show a custom page when activate my theme with an Enter link instead of posts in the content area and also need to show same header, sidebar and footer as other pages. When click on the Enter our blog works same as other thems.Please help me.
I would create the page that you want to use as the index page in your wordpress admin panel. Then go to Readings Settings, and select Static Page, then select the new page you just created in the drop down menu to set it as the front page. Click Save Changes and the new index page will now be the first thing that visitors see when they go to your site. Does that solve your problem?
