Help with Splash page

  • I am trying to add a Splash page to my website (which uses a plug-in theme).

    These are the directions from WordPress Splash page instructions. (To include the header from WordPress to maintain a consistent look, add this to the top of the page, using the folder path name you installed WordPress into:) I would like to add this to my MainIndex Template:

    <?php define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
    require(‘./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’); ?>

    BUT I am not sure what is meant by “folder path name”. Is “folder path name” the name of my theme or my website? I am also not sure what it should replace in the code above.

    Can someone help me here?

  • Since version 2.3.x you do NOT need any of those instructions. Just visit your own admin panel > Options > Reading and set one Page as your frontpage and another one as your posts Page.
    Done.
    Make sure you do create those two Pages before you go to the Reading section.

    Oh, then the Splash page is not what I thought it was. I am using 1 theme for my website and would like the Splash page to be a more simpler page so that I can use it as a squeeze page. Is there any way to do this?

    I don’t understand your question.
    The option I referred you to… does exactly what you are talking about: you can make it as simple as you want.

    Most importantly: did you TRY it before posting back???

    I actually already have my site set up that way so I am clear on what that option can do. The theme I am using might cause some complication however because the pages and post toggle from one section on the site. If you go to my site, you will have a better visual. Here is the link: https://www.choosetoevolve.com. I would like the Splash page (or Squeeze page) to use the entire screen instead of the tiny box. Perhaps you can shed some light.

    See the Templates section of Pages.
