    I am ready to replace my old site with my new Word Press site. My Word Press site is under the original site as http: //myblog. I now want it to be w ww. http: //myblog, removing the old HTML site and replacing it with the blog.

    How can I make the WP home page the main page when it doesn’t have the “index/html” in the name?

    What steps do I do to make the change?

    Thank you in advance.

    If WordPress is installed in your domain’s web-root folder, then you should just be able to rename (or delete) the existing index.html file and that will let the WordPress index.php take control.

    If you continue this thread, please provide a URL to the site.

    I removed the html.index but it didn’t work. Here is the main site http://www.zebracorn.com/
    Here is the blog site http://zebracorn.com/blog/
    I want the main site gone and the blog site in its place.

    To make WordPress available at http://zebracorn.com just change in Settings->General, the Blog address (URL) to http://zebracorn.com and put this index.php file in your web-root folder (it is the same folder that contains the blog folder)

    <?php
/* Short and sweet */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
require('./blog/wp-blog-header.php');
?>

    Then update your permalinks in Settings->Permalinks.

    The Dashboard is now not available. I changed the link and now am getting a 404 message.

    I have asked my hosting account to reset the URL. If they can do that I can try this again.
