WordPress as the site but the main page from a different IP

  • Disclaimer: this is half a WordPress question, half a general webpage-iness question

    What I’d like with my site is to use flavors.me as the main page (sort of a splash page, if you will) at the main site directory (www.kurt-anderson.com) and have wordpress be the rest of the site (/main/…)
    I have WordPress successfully installed & working under the /main URL. I then went to change the A Record of the site to point to my flavors.me page. That worked: when I typed in https://www.kurt-anderson.com it loaded my flavors.me page. However, when I went to the /main URL, it went to a different page on the flavors.me site.
    I guess my question is this: is what I want to do even possible? If so, what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

  • Hi Locke,

    It’s not possible to point one subdomain (“www” being the subdomain) to two servers, but there may be other solutions:

    • Make index.php do a remote include ( require_once(‘https://flavors.me’); ) of the flavors.me page — but this may not be possible with your host for security reasons
    • Have the home page on a different subdomain as the rest of the site. Then you CAN use A records, or CNAME records (aliases) might be better, to point to flavors.me. The homepage of the wordpress subdomain can redirect to flavors.me…

    There was another idea in my brain, but I lost it…

    Hope that helps.
