 * It didn’t do that for me. It used to, until I deleted the .htaccess file that
   I programmed to cause that to happen. I had set up the redirect because of what
   is happening to me now, i.e. the / page is not pulling up index.php as the default
   landing page.

 * I thought all was well. I was wrong. Yesterday [http://www.jenniewolff.com/](http://www.jenniewolff.com/)
   points straight to [http://www.jenniewolff.com/index.php](http://www.jenniewolff.com/index.php).
   Today it points to a file that does not even exist anymore in the root directory.
 * I can’t figure out what is going on. Where is this file coming from?

 * Well now. I removed the .htaccess file and all is well. I wonder what was going
   on last night when the site was not referencing index.php as the default page
   for the domain. It must have been a prior version of .htaccess that I overwrote.
 * Thanks for the help. That solved all three problems.

 * Here is the .htaccess contents:
 * > Redirect permanent /index.html [http://www.jenniewolff.com/index.php](http://www.jenniewolff.com/index.php)
   > 
   > Redirect permanent /mainmenu.html [http://www.jenniewolff.com/index.php](http://www.jenniewolff.com/index.php)
 * If the index.html file didn’t keep showing up everywhere I would not have tried
   to accomplish a permanent redirect. Perhaps there is another strategy.
 * I am not familiar with means of editing .htaccess in wordpress.
 * Thanks,
 * Will
