I just finished a WordPress blog: www.verbalremedies.com\/blog. I want to make the blog live as the homepage: www.verbalremedies.com and all the pages like this: www.verbalremedies.com\/store, etc. even though it’s housed in the blog folder. I followed the structure of a different blog that a colleague set up for me: www.b-animalwise.com\/wordpress (it isn’t live yet): used separate folder, used custom structure permalinks “\/%postname%”, etc. I know this will work b\/c the one he set up works like that:<\/p>\n
In the b-animalwise site, when I change the index_1.php page on the root folder to index.php as he directed it works fine: the blog becomes the homepage and all the links work like: www.b-animalwise.com\/about, etc. (note no extra folder in link even though the permalinks in WP Admin adds the “wordpress” folder”. When I do this same thing with verbalremedies, it won’t work. How did he do that? <\/p>\n
I tried changing my header links to his structure but whatever I did, didn’t work.<\/p>\n
Below is the code for both index.php pages and the navigation for both header.php pages.<\/p>\n
What am I missing? You’re help is soooo appreciated! <\/p>\n
<?php
\n\/* Short and sweet *\/
\ndefine(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
\nif (preg_match(“\/b-animalwise.com\/i”, $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’])) {
\nrequire(‘.\/wordpress\/wp-blog-header.php’);
\n}
\n?><\/p>\n
<?php
\n\/* Short and sweet *\/
\ndefine(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
\nif (preg_match(“\/verbalremedies.com\/i”, $_SERVER[‘HTTP_HOST’])) {
\nrequire(‘.\/blog\/wp-blog-header.php’);
\n}
\n?><\/p>\n
Here’s mine: Here’s his:<\/p>\n <li <?php if (is_page(‘Welcome!’)) {echo ‘class=”currentpage”‘;}; ?>>HOME<\/a> Barrie”>ABOUT BARRIE Blog”>BARRIE’S BLOG title=”Consultations”>CONSULTATIONS title=”Contact”>CONTACT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-886912","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/886912","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/886912\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=886912"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
