With a little bit of toying, I got it to work.

Thanks a lot guys, especcially you michael.

PS: I ended up making a function for the whole post loop and then calling it at two different times with different arguments depending on weather its the home page or not.

Anyone got any ideas…?

clear as mud is a good way to put it.

I didn’t like your idea, so I tried putting the following my header.php file:

<?
$cat = $HTTP_GET_VARS[‘cat’];
$p = $HTTP_GET_VARS[‘p’];
if (($cat==null)&&($p==null)) { header(“location: https://g1c9.com/?cat=1&#8221;);exit; }
?>

but now I’m getting a 403 forbidden error, and without the exit; i get a “Redirection will never complete” error..

Why isn’t this working..?

Thanks for the response, but how would I go about implementing this to ONLY the root index?

example: https://www.mysitehere.com/blog/

becuase if i go to:

https://www.mysitehere.com/blog/?cat=3

I still want to see posts from category three, I only want this to apply to the index. :-/

umm.. please?

strange, i tried that, left the file completely empty. I could go around the site like normal but post links and all left me 404’s.. :-\

the htaccess file is gone, becuase i deleted it becuase of the problem. So i went to the permalink options page, and refreshed my FTP, and a htacess file had been made. However, no matter what i set it to, 777 even, it is still the same result after going to another site. It seems like whenever I have an htaacess i cant even access the darn site.. just 500 errors for everything.

THANK YOU!
