 * Hey, I’m kinda new to wordpress and have a pretty simple question. I was wondering
   what code can I place in my wordpress template so that if people reach my blog,
   I can automatically forward them to another page. Also, the location of where
   I’d put that code would be appreciated. Thanks

 * I’m not sure I follow. If someone reaches you at yoursite.com, you want to forward
   them somewhere else? If that’s the case, why have the install in the first place?

 * You could either redirect by using the header in the file/s. Example here:
 *  [http://www.billstclair.com/html-redirect.html](http://www.billstclair.com/html-redirect.html)
 * You could also use a server redirect. Your host may have a front-end like cPanel
   to simplify the creation of a re-direction.
 * [@miklb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miklb/), maybe the OP wants to migrate.

 * I understand he may be migrating, but there would be no reason to have WP at 
   the previous location then, and could simply have an index.php/html with redirect.
   But by using the word “page”, I wanted some clarification before offering up 
   a specific solution.

 * basically, I’m pulling in rss feed from my blog, so I don’t want my actual blog(
   wordpress installation index) to be accessible. I was planning to just put a 
   redirection link in if anyone were to get to it.
