    There’s probably a very simple answer to this, but I cant come up with it. I’ve been using WP since february. Very little coding experience. I have a client that wants a full open screen to appear before the wordpress site loads. It’s kind of like a greeting or something new that will change every quarter. the full screen comes up, the user clicks anywhere and then the regular wordpress site takes over.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated

    Well, one very simple solution would be to install wordpress in a different directory than the root directory, so for example:

    WordPress is installed in wp/ directory

    http://www.example.com takes you to the index.php (or index.html) where the splash screen is and then you link that to http://www.example.com/wp/

    This way once a user clicks on that splash screen they’re taken to the wordpress directory

    I don’t think even that is necessary. From what I understand, all you need is an index.html page beside your home directory’s index.php. The html overrides the php, and you can point from it to the php file. There’s a hierarchy involving the index.html, index2.html and home.html, all of which I believe go before index.php.

    oh yes, that would be even better
