I've just inherited a WP site to maintain, and every page on the site loads from
www.site.com/index.php/page
For what reason would a Wordpress site be set up like this? Can I possibly change this in the Dashboard, or would I need to modify htaccess?
Internally, all requests go through index.php. You can override this in the "Permalinks" section of your WP Admin Panel.

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 Magento site installed at the root of my domain and a Wordpress installed in a subdirectory. Currently I access my sites like this:
Magento: "domain.com"
Wordpress: "domain.com/blog"
I would like to be able to use Wordpress Pages seamlessly, without the "/blog" subdirectory showing in the url, such as:
Wordpress Page-X: "domain.com/page-x"
Note that I do want to keep the "/blog" subdirectory showing normally for blog posts etc... I just don't want it for Wordpress Pages.
Could anybody help on how to set that up? I was think tweaking the .htaccess would've work, but I can't find out how. Other solutions are welcome too. Thank you.
Magento provides you with an option to create custom URL rewrites in the backend (admin) you can find it here. This way you should be able to create rewrites. Also if you want to automate the creation of rewrites you can refer to the core_rewrites table in magento's database. Also this is a good read if you want to do logic based rewrites on the fly.
I want to change my old domain name to new domain. What I ask here is how to redirect permalink structure with htaccess from
http://www.OldDomain.com/postname/ to http://NewDomain.com/postid/postname/
/%postname%/ /%postid%/
Straight answer is NO, you must not do this via .htaccess.
Wordpress already supports (and enforces) this permalink structure so it is much better and cleaner to goto Wordpress admin panel and change the permalink structure to /%postid%/%postname%/ in the newer installation of Wordpress.
PS: Note that even if you rewrite these URLs differently via mod_rewrite, WP will enforce and expect this to whatever is defined in it permalink definition.
There is a problem on my client site.Due to some of the redirections set up for magento.. I am not able to access the wordpress pages.. Whenever I try to access a wordpress page, I am redirected to a magento 404 not found page.... so please let me know how to remove redirection on my magento site??
Your question is ambiguous. Is it the rewriting in .htaccess (or somewhere else) doing the redirect, or do they have redirects in the core_url_rewrite table that conflicts?
I would guess the former. You need to create an alias or location for your Wordpress area that are distinctly different from your Magento area. Often this is accomplished through a separate subdomain, like http://blog.example.com/ or through a suffix like http://www.example.com/blog/.
I've got a web site based on wordpress, I need to temporarily hide the web site.
I thought about using a PHP 301 redirect. I tried to put at the begining of index.php and xmlrpc.php without success. How does wordpress file-structure works?
Tnx
Giuseppe
I've used this for redirects in the same purpose:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/
I put the temporary html-file that I wanted to display in a folder which was placed in the same place as the main index.php file.
If you really need to hide a website under development, block search engines in Dashboard/Settings/Privacy and use something like WordPress › Absolute Privacy « WordPress Plugins to disable RSS feeds and redirect to a static page you choose.
