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:

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 created a category in WordPress and I gave to this category the url of my blog page. It gave me a 404 error so i deleted the category. The problem is that now my blog page redirect to my homepage.
I don't know how to start . Any idea of what to do ?
You can start by ensuring the blog page is different from the homepage in dashboard->settings->reading
In your admin dashboard, go to Settings > Permalinks and make note of the current setting since you need to temporarily change it. Select the Plain radio button and click Save Changes at the bottom of the page.
Once saved, click the previous pretty permalink option you had and click Save Changes one more time.
Your permalink settings have been reset and you can check your blog page. You shouldn’t see any more 404 errors. Please check the blog page in other browser to prevent also the cache.
I want to show a category-page on the frontpage without the url changing (eg. redirect).
The frontpage should implement the categories' head and meta tags then and also the top menu should display the appropriate category selected. also there should be a canonical tag to the categorypage so no duplicate content will be generated.
short: the frontpage should exactly behave like a categorypage.
is there a solution?
You can create your own page template and set is as start page.
Go to:
Apperance->Customize
Then Static front page.
Choose "Static Page"
Then choose your page from the dropdown list.
If you need help look at this.

In addition to Tan's answer, you'll need to go to Settings -> Reading and then select 'A static page' for the 'Front page displays' option. After that you can select your previously created page template from the 'A static page' drop-down menu.
When you finish the above, you'll have to edit the source code for the chosen file in order to include a standard wp loop. For more info, please check this thread:
How do I make a Wordpress Page act like the default home page displaying multiple posts?
To control which posts will be shown in the loop use the query_posts(). You can find more details here:

I chose Wordpress for my last project but I have a question. I'll use Pages so the client is able to change the content himself. For the moment there are no Post or blog in it. Is it possible to run Wordpess without a blog? It'll be a blog in a future but not now. Thanks.
Absolutely you can have a WordPress site without a blog. You just need to do a couple of things in the admin.
First you need to create 2 pages: a static 'home' page, and a 'blog index' page. The home page is what will be displayed when a visitor comes to the site. The blog index page is just a blank page, with a title you can remember.
Next, in Settings > Reading, select Front page displays a 'static page', then set 'Front page:' to the home page you made, and 'Posts page:' to the blog index page you made.
Yes, for sure you can do this.
Just do the following:
In your admin backend click on Settings -> Reading and set "A Static Page"
Go to Appearance and build a custom menu and add there your pages to a active menu.
Disable all widgets which link to posts.
In fact you need only the first step, but with the second you allow users to navigate on your site. To make the UX better, just add a plugin like Map Categories to Pages to add a category widget or something in this way, to let people browse your site more nicely.
I'm building a photography portfolio for a client using the digifoto theme. When I try making a portfolio, it comes up in the gallery page, but when I click to see the photos in it, it says "Not Found - page being requested could not be found".
I'm clicking into the portfolio tab, making a new one, titling it and inserting photos, then the details in the correct fields, I create the "post" (portfolio), but I can't preview it (I got the 'not found' error) and I can't see it as a published thing anyway.
It seems like there's no documentation on the Digifoto theme (how to use it). Any WP experts here that can help?
Seems to be a Permalink problem. It often happens when you register custom post type (portfolio in your case) and the link goes 404. Try saving the permalink structure once again and it will work.
Permalink Settings:
Navigate to Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks
I have a wordpress multi-site:
site1.local.loc [with subdomains on my local] and I would like to have three pages on this.
site1.local.loc/works - (posts page, but I want 'Works' as my title)
site1.local.loc/about - (static page)
site1.local.loc/contact - (static page)
Since 'Works' is my posts page where I keep putting in content, I changed my permalinks for this site to:
/works/%postname%/
However, when clicking on 'view post' at the end of posting anything, it leads me to a '404' page which means there is a disconnect. This is also the case for viewing any page. Is my .htaccess file faulty?
How do I solve this? Also how do I make all my posts appear in my 'Works' page (as in, how to make that page the posts page?)
Thanks!
Updated: I've found out that I get a 404 for any page that I create for a site in a wordpress network.
You do not have to touch .htaccess file.
Make a custom post type that is called works. All those posts made in that custom post type will have that url that you desire. There is no other way to do it. (even if there is, it must be dirty) That is celanest way, and since wp does it by itself you can expect that nothing will go wrong wnen you update, install plugins, etc.
Create a category called "Works" that would then show all posts added to that category by simply going to /works/ all posts would then be shown as /works/post-name/.
You will need to change the permalink structure to /%category%/%postname%/
Check this in administration
Settings > Permalinks > Post name
