    I have successfully created a splash page by creating a page called home.php and putting it into my theme’s directory. WordPress now displays that splash page when the site displays. But how on earth am I supposed to get the rest of the site to show up now? No matter what I do, I can no longer get index.php to show up! I have tried links like:

    <a href="index.php">
    <a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>">

    And numerous other links. But I’m banging my head against the wall here. I can’t believe this isn’t in the documentation. It tells you how to create a splash page, just not how to get past it! Can anyone tell me how to do this? This is for a site that is due for completion tomorrow so a response would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

  • The splash page will be displayed whenever there is no query string.

    There are lots of ways around this:
    * create a link from your splash page to a single category view in your blog (a “general” category would work well for this)
    * use some PHP in home.php to fetch the last published post’s ID, and link from home.php to that post’s permalink.
