   I would appreciate any help with this. Thanks!

   Actions prior to problem:
   - Installed and activated "HTML Page Sitemap"
   - Created new page on site named "sitemap"
   - Installed and activated "Google XML Sitemaps"
   - submitted /sitemap.xml to google

   Problem I am experiencing:
   - when typing in the url of my website I am automatically redirected to the sitemap.html. I don't want my website address (www.website.com) redirected to http://www.mywebsite.com/sitemap.html.

   Why is this happening? How do I fix it? Please and thanks!

   Have you tried:

   - deactivating all plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works, re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).

   - switching to the Twenty Ten theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?

   - resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.

   Hi Esmi - thanks for your response.

   I deactivated the redirection plugin I was using and am no longer experiencing the redirection issue.

   Hmm, hope this doesn't mean that now I have to learn how to do redirections manually without a plugin :S

   update: found post at http://urbangiraffe.com/support/topic/home-page-is-redirecting-to-another-wp-page-without-my-instruction-to-do-so
   Reactivated redirection plugin and followed someones advice there:
   "If you go, from the Redirections settings menu, click on [Groups] then [Modified posts] you'll probably see a 301 in there for just "/". Remove it. "
   so far its working okay.
