 * Quick question…
 * My WordPress randomly started defaulting to a different page. I have no idea 
   why.
 * The home page is supposed to be “/” and the blog posts are supposed to be “/blog/”
   but for some reason the home page keeps defaulting to “/games/” instead of “/”.
   I checked the read settings and the home page and blog page are still both correct.
 * Any idea why this might happen?
 * Should try disabling all plugins?
    Should I try a different template?

 * It was my 301 redirect plugin. Even though I didn’t have the root being redirected
   to games, I nuked all redirects and the problem was solved.
 * The specific plugin was:
    [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/)
 * Possibly a plugin error/bug? We’ll see if it happens again. For now the problem
   is solved.
 * Thanks for your quick response.
