Wordpress Home page and Index page - wordpress

How do I make my Index.php page my home page. Please I am trying to make a slide show on the home page and I don't think it is working because of the Index.php is not set as the home page.

Create a new page - put your HTML code on that page(only in Source) and set that as Frontpage in Appearance -> customize -> Static Font page -> Front page displays.That will do the work . :)

How to change home page url in wordpress

create "Enter website" page

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).

wordpress homepage not main url

We are currently developing our own theme for Wordpress. Now we set up the index.php and added the first page which is functioning as the Homepage. (we have installed WP on a subdirectory)
We setup Wordpress that the Homepage is set to that new added page. But now this new page is only accessable by www.domain.com/wp/home instead of www.domain.com/wp
How can we set up WP that it will show the new added page at the Homepage?
By default WordPress shows your most recent posts on the front page. In order to change that you need to set the Wordpress front page to be a static page.
Go to Administration Menu > Settings > Reading panel.
Set 'Front page displays:' to 'a static page' and choose the page you already created for 'Front page:'.
Save changes.
For More Information:
Creating a Static Front Page
Wordpress Settings Reading Screen
you have to set it up in Themes menu. You will find an option there,what do you want to show on your start page, blog, or a page. Specify your page there.

How to show custom page as Wordpress theme home page instead of index.php

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?
