Archives page not generated out of index.php?

The problem is, that this index.php is also used to generate the pages after clicking on a post on the archive page to see the whole post. Is this correct? Will it be possible to change that.

No, that will not be possible because all posts, pages, archive listing, category listing, and search results are generated as PHP queries based off of index.php. For example, without permalinks, a single post’s URL is something like index.php?p=123 . This cannot be changed.

So is it possible, that not the index.php is the first site on a page?
I mean then I could create eg. enter.php and if someone goes to my site he will first see enter.php….
How can i do that?
I guess its a little off topic…
Thanks

Actually you might be able to do it. In wp_options table there is “blogfilename” which is set to index.php. I suppose you could change it to something else.

wp-admin/options.php

You could also change the DirectoryIndex to something other than index.php. On many servers index.html is served up before index.php. For instance my htaccess file is set to:
DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var index.php index.shtml

If there is an index.php and index.html file in the same directory, index.html is displayed.

Hello,
I cant find the related line.
I tried it with .htaccess.
It looks like:
DirectoryIndex enter.php

while enter.php wil be the page displayed first.
If I upload it into the Themefolder nothing happens, index.php is still loaded.
If I upload it into the main WP folder on the server I get the 403-forbidden page….
Thanks

It needs to go into the main WP folder or else it won’t work. Perhaps you need to change the permission levels on the file itself. Did you try to change the blogfilenam to something else as an alternative?

Hello,
where do I have to change it?
I can not find the related file or the line in the code.
Can you tell me there to change ist?
Thanks

The “line in the code” is actually an option not normally displayed in the admin section. Enter what I gave above, “wp-admin/options.php”, and change the value for “blogfilename” – you will then have to enter that filename to get the blog.

Fortunately it easy to change back as it sounds like you want to do something you don’t fully understand.

There is no value for “blogfilename” cause that does not exist there…
thanks

Unless you are running a different version of WP, then there is and it does ;-).
http://yoursite/wp-admin/options.php

Under “All Options” it is the sixth option down.
active_plugins
admin_email
advanced_edit
blacklist_keys
blogdescription
blogfilename

I?′m running the latest version of WP I guess 1.5.1.3.
But the 6th in all options is “blogname” – Blog title…
Thanks

Learn something new every day. Must be a holdover from an older version that is no longer used but is still called in template-functions-category (probably an oversight).

Looks like we are stuck unless someone else has an idea or two.
