 * My website is [http://www.goldcupexploration.com/](http://www.goldcupexploration.com/)
   and when I go to this domain, it doesn’t bring up a wordpress site. However, 
   I’ve set the home page in wordpress to [http://www.goldcupexploration.com/index.php](http://www.goldcupexploration.com/index.php).
   When I type in [http://www.goldcupexploration.com/hello/](http://www.goldcupexploration.com/hello/)
   I go to my wordpress site and when I click on the home page it take me to [http://www.goldcupexploration.com/index.php](http://www.goldcupexploration.com/index.php).
   I was wondering how I could set my site to go straight to word press.

 * Where is your WordPress installed? If it’s in the root you don’t need to add 
   in the index.php as the site URL.
 * Your links are dead at the moment anyway.

 * Sorry they should be up now. Yes wordpress is in my root folder. Currently I 
   only have the index.php file in my root folder, the other wordpress files are
   in the root in a subfolder.

 * Yeah I read that, I never get the file non-existant error. If you check it out
   now, it says that the home page is not found.

 * Your CSS and other resources aren’t loading because all the links are to localhost.
