    Hi to all.

    Ok, my situation is a little different I think. I'm using WP to create a website not a blog. On the homepage I created which would be index.html on a standard website I used permalink and changed it from mydomain.com/?p=7 to mydomain.com/whatever.

    Now going to mydomain.com the home page doesn't show up anymore.

    How in the world can I fix this?

    I reset the permalinks to normal and still it goes to what appears to be a 404 page. I have yet to find the file and location in the file that keeps pointing it to the wrong page.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    Your homepage would not be mydomain.com/whatever but mydomain.com/

    Did you change settings -> generalsettings -> wordpress address (url)? to mydomain.com/whatever?

    If so change it to mydomain.com

    You can set which page to make your homepage in settings -> reading
