    Currently, have WP running in /blog directory with my website default page as /index.htm.

    When I changed my website default page to /index.shtml WP stopped working. I haven’t touched anything inside WP.

    Any suggestions to fix this? Thanks.

  • Works when I try it…maybe WP prefers Sonoma County over Mendocino ??

    I changed it back to the default of /index.htm and then made index.htm a redirect page to /index.shtml just so I’d have a working website.

    But I want to set up /index.shtml as the default so that it doesn’t have that few second display of the redirect page among other reasons.

    Thank you for trying to help.

    Solved my problem by creating .htaccess file in root directory with the statement:
    DirectoryIndex index.shtml

    Then in my wordpress directory (/blog) I added a second .htaccess file:
    DirectoryIndex index.php

    Now my wordpress blog works and my website default page is changed.
