Cant locate our 'home.html' page to edit it

  • Hi All

    We recently set up our Marine Biology Courses Site with WP.

    However, one of the links that comes up under Bing searches is below:
    https://marinebiologycourses.com.au/home.html

    The problem is, this seems to be an ‘automatically made page’ and when we try to find it to edit it, we can’t.

    Any ideas, because we dont want customers sent to a page that says nothing.

    Thanks for reading.

  • You can do permanent redirect for that link.

    After making permanent redirect all users who access the home.html page will be redirected to home page of your website.

    After sometime you can remove this code from your htaccess file because search engine will then take care of rest. Search engine will automatically redirect the visitors from home.html page to main home page.

    You just add below code in your .htaccess file of wordpress.

    Redirect 301 https://marinebiologycourses.com.au/home.html https://marinebiologycourses.com.au

    Hi again

    Those files were from wp-admin dashboard editor etc

    From what you say, I have to go into my cPanel with Hostgator and edit the file in there, yes?

    bh

    Yes right.
