changing index page

Some more info from you would be useful ??

i didnt mean to post i meant to search. NOW i mean to post. how do i not make wpress my index page? i want to display my static index. html and provide a link to the blog in the page. the default install just bypasses my pretty index page altogether.

Have WP in a sub-directory.
Then at https://www.example.com/index.html there can be the full site index, with one link off to your blog.

A somewhat similar situation: I have a (static) blog in my root directory (index.html) that I have reproduced on WP 1.2. I have installed WP in …/wp. Now that I am ready to make the switch, I want to erase the index.html file in order to replace it by the new WP index.php. For that I changed the blog address in the Options page to match the switch. Is it the way to go? I tried to move index.php to the root directory but — I should have known — it didn’t work. So, in resume, my question is:
old blog: https://www.carnetsdetoile.ca
new blog: https://www.carnetsdetoile.ca/wp
How can I reach the new through the url of the old? Clear? Humm…

in the index.html, define a “redirection” or use :

<?php
header("Location: https://www.carnetsdetoile.ca/wp"); /* Redirect browser */
/* Make sure that code below does not get executed when we redirect. */
exit;
?>


Thanks but not sure where to put it. In the header? And shall I have to erase the old index?
