    I need to delete “index.htm” from the end of my blog URL. It has been giving me problems. How do I accomplish this?

    I’m trying to avoid losing my entire blog by having to re-install WordPress with the new URL.

    i looked at your site, and am confused.

    did you add index.htm to your url or home setting? where is your blog?

    wordpress doesnt use htm(l) files so that shouldnt be there.

    I know, it’s really strange.

    Here’s where it comes up correctly: http://www.carlabray.com/blog/index.htm

    Here’s where it comes up missing information (the blog directory links that are supposed to come up on the right side index):
    http://www.carlabray.com/blog

    i see.

    when you go into your admin area..under options >> general

    is that index.htm

    tacked onto either your WordPress address (URI) or your Blog address (URI)?

    If so, remove it.

    I get WordPress through a hosting company. I installed it with the index.htm (I didn’t know any better, I was just trying to match the other pages on my website).

    the index.htm is on the WordPress address, but I don’t know how to change it. All edits have to go through the hosting company setup.

    Actually, now that I changed the URL, those blog directory links don’t show up at all anymore, even though they’re still in the stylesheet.

    Does it take a while to reset when the URL is changed? Is that what the problem is? My hosting company resets everything every 24 hours – maybe I just need to wait until that’s been done?

    Both links still work, even though I’ve changed the URL under the Options menu.
