Just to update…

I was able to successfully redirect my domain to the home sub directory using my host’s cPanel redirect feature as suggested above.

If anyone else still has this problem after a cPanel redirect, take a look at https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

I’m having a similar problem.

I customized a theme (MESHABLE from ThemeForest) which requires I set up a front page. What I’m looking to do is simply redirect my domain to the front page: https://www.example.com => https://www.example.com/home

I tried an http redirect with my domain name host (1and1) which didn’t do anything.

I then went into the dashboard’s general settings and changed my WordPress URL to https://www.example.com/home and kept the site URL as https://www.example.com Changing WordPress URL FUBAR’d the theme; I can’t even access the dashboard anymore.

I can easily restore the theme as it’s fully backed up, but I’ll still have the same problem.

Before I get into a cycle of FUBAR’ing then restoring my site, has anyone figured out how to solve this seemingly simple problem?

I assume I can’t remove the permalink. Should I drop my next restore into a new directory on my server (BlueHost) and redirect to the new directory using 1and1?
