    Hi there!

    Im making a friends website in word press and I would like to change the landing page URL from this: http://www.liaisonintl.co.uk/ to this one http://www.liaisonintl.co.uk/home

    Word press has a default landing page that make a not convenient search message on the main page that saids:
    Nothing Found
    Apologies, but no results were found for the requested archive. Perhaps searching will help find a related post. Into the Website.

    Is there a way to delete this message? or make the landing page point to the http://www.liaisonintl.co.uk/home link?

    In WP admin.

    Settings, General. - "WordPress Address (URL)"

    You can also make a simple redirection of your domain.. Has nothing to do with WP though..

    I tried what you said:

    In WP admin.

    Settings, General. - "WordPress Address (URL)"

    And now I can't login in to admin anymore...

    Maybe I missunderstood what you wanted to do..

    Anyway how to fix it back -

    In your theme folder with the file functions.php

    Below "<?php" at top

    Add

    update_option('siteurl','http://example.com/blog');
    update_option('home','http://example.com/blog');

    With your site url. www is not neccesarly.

    When site is 'back' and the settings within the admin is as they should within settings. I think you should remove the above line of coded added to functions.

    For more information on the feature...

    You can restore your site by putting in some code in your wp-config.php file
