I need someone to help me so bad. When i go to my blog's homepage, it redirects it to one of my blog post instead of going to the homepage. I didn't set this up like this and this just recently started happening after i published my latest blog post. I deleted the blog post and that still didn't help anything
My homepage should be:http://www.vivalavoiz.com but instead it goes straight to http://www.vivalavoiz.com/2009/01/congress%E2%80%A6please-bailout-the-porn-industry/
Somebody please help because i can't even get back to my homepage and i have no clue how it got like this. I already checked the settings to and that is set to my homepage but it still redirects

Check your .htaccess files

In Admin, try checking your settings under SETTINGS >> READING:
First setting: "Front page displays": Is the setting here "Your latest posts" or have you selected "A static page (select below)" by mistake?
/Rob
what ipstenu said. if htaccess check/fix not the problem, you might want to check index.php or home.php in the theme folder on your server, someone might have hacked your files to redirect to a page you didn't create re save porn something. Delete the index.php or home.php and reupload the "clean" file from your computer. Then go about hardening your WordPress - special mention to your database.

Have you at one time made the page http://www.vivalavoiz.com/2009/01/congress%E2%80%A6please-bailout-the-porn-industry/ ?
If so, have you checked the setting I suggested?

What's in your .htaccess? It should have this for WordPress:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

where is my .htaccess files supposed to be located? I don't even see it. The only one i see that says.htaccess is included in a redirect plugin folder
It should be in the root of your public_html folder.
Is WordPress installed to a SubFolder or the main public_html folder?

The dot/fullstop/period in front of .htaccess tells *nix that this is a file that is normally hidden from the user, so you may not see it unless your file browser is set to show you the dot/hidden files.
Paste Ipstenu's code into a file you create using notepad (not Word etc) and ftp it to the root of your public_html folder (or where the index.php file was if using a subfolder like blog etc). You can get another copy of the index.php file from the wp2.7 source zip...

its installed in the public_html folder
Okay, then your index.php in your root should be:
<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
?>
And you should see a .htaccess file in that folder (you may have to turn on viewing of hidden files)

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

this is what my index.php in the public_html says
<?php
/**
* Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
* wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
*
* @package WordPress
*/
/**
* Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
*
* @var bool
*/
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require('./wp-blog-header.php');
?>

Your .htaccess is fine.
Go into your wp-admin side, see if there are any users you don't recognize.

oh so i have been hacked??
It's a possibility, but the debugging methods of a hack are about the same for this so... Assume the worst and be surprised if it's not.

gt-cache is from the global translator plugin, you can probably leave it alone.
