# index.php / home.php

 * I have home.php as well as index.php.
 * The problem is that the domain is defaulting to home.php.
 * Is there any way I can view index.php through a link? I have tried {siteroot}
   index.php but this only redirects me to home.php.
 * Failing this is there anyway to search for the last 5 blog entries?

 * I think as long as you have a HOME.PHP file, your home page will always be displayed
   through HOME.PHP.
 * So a simple way to get your job done is to remove or rename the HOME.PHP in your
   current theme directory, which may be found at: **WORDPRESS_PATH\wp-content\themes\
   CURRENT_THEME\**
 * when you have no HOME.PHP, wordpress uses the INDEX.PHP to show your home page.
 * So give it a try…
