    Hey everyone, I am trying to create a landing page for someones blog, but there are a couple of issues I’ve been having I hope someone can clear up for me.

    There is only one link on the landing page and I need it to link to their blog (at index.php). So I can’t just select the landing page in the control panel as the home page because it will just redirect back to the landing page when they click the link.

    So I made a new page called “Welcome” and copied the index contents into it, and selected it as the blog page in the control panel.

    This works, but now the customer doesn’t want their blog section renamed to “welcome” or anything else.

    How do I create a landing page, and still keep index.php as the blog page? Thanks,

    JW

    what you need to do is figure which page you want as landing page
    leave the title blank
    configure this as your static home page
    admin – settings – reading

    now create an empty Page titled “Blog”
    configure this as your posts page
    admin – settings – reading

    But that will make the URL of the blog page read:
    http://www.myclientssite.com/blog?
    That is what they don’t want, but I can’t figure out a way to avoid it.

    I was trying to adjust the htaccess file to direct to my landing page:
    DirectoryIndex landingpage.html

    But then there is no way for me to define index.php as a link to the blog.

    Any ideas?
