Home page is not index.php

    I have a Web site to which I’ve added WordPress. But, since I wanted a more comprehensive, informative home page, I decided not to use WordPress’s index.php as my home page. Instead, I merely linked WordPress by giving index.php a new name, blog.php.

    Natch, the change in name has screwed up everything so visitors can’t comment, etc. I expect I’ll have to go into several files and rewrite some code but don’t know where to begin. Thanks for your help.

    First, undo what you just did.

    Now, have a look at Creating_a_Static_Front_Page and see if that helps.

    Thanks HandySolo, I’m working on it, making progress bit by bit. My fear is that the home page, that is, the static page, will have to be created in php and that screws me up even more. we’ll see what happens.

    Aye, that tutorial will take you down the php trail.

    If, for some reason(?), you just have to remain in plain HTML, your options get a bit more limited.

    If you’re using FeedBurner for your feed management, they offer a free service service called BuzzBoost that will give you a bit of javascript to add to a web page and display recent posts (or just post titles). Might be worth a look?

    I use that on my (very cheesy) current domain home page and it seems to work out well.

    Is there a better way to do this now?

    I need my home page to be https://www.mp2kmag.com/mappoint.asp and the existing home page in that directly to remain as default.asp.

    Note that for historical strange reasons I am running .asp files as PHP.
