    Hi everyone,

    Thanks for reading my question,
    hope to be able to get some help from the people here.

    I have been using wordpress for a couple of years now and now I intend to use my vbulletin as my front page.

    My question is, how do I keep wordpress working while not using its index.php anymore?

    I wish to keep the wordpress structure which is currently in public_html

    I have tons of wordpress post that I intend to keep serving be it from internal links or search listings.

    I tried replacing the index.php with the vbulletin one and it wont let me load any wordpress post anymore.

    Thanks in advance!
    Tom

    Nevermind, found the answer.
    I’ll share with whoever needs in the future.

    Here’s how to retain wordpress but not use index.php

    For example, If you are running wordpress but intend to use other CMS or something so you naturally want to lose the wordpress homepage at the very least to replace with your new homepage from other CMS.

    This solution keeps wordpress working so people can still find the old posts. and search listings still work

    Use Htaccess:
    http://htaccess.wordpress.com/2007/12/08/removing-indexphp-with-htaccess/

    simply change the name of the wordpress index.php to wp_index.php or whatever you like.

    open htaccess (found in public_html / root. if you can’t see from ftp, you can also directadmin)
    change the index.php to wp_index.php
