HowTo Create: page at domain root / Non-static front page

  • Hey all,

    I’m working on my blog / site and have wp installed on example-domain.com/blog; I’ve also built some extra pages to cater for About, Contact etc, but how can I create one to reside at the domain root, ie: example-domain.com?

    I’m hoping it’s pretty simple to do, but I can’t see any relevent options in Admin > Write > Pages.

    If anyone can help I’d really appreciate it!!

  • You can’t – if your blog is sitting at example.com/blog.
    Your Pages will be at example.com/blog/about

    If I understand you correctly, you can do this. It’s how my site is configured. Take a look at this page and see if it helps. You probably want to start somewhere around step 7 since you already installed WordPress in the subdirectory, right?

    Cheers guys.

    Daltonrooney: Nah that’s not what I want to do.

    Moshu: Is it possible to do this with WP installed on the root domain- or is there another way of having a non-static front page?

    Thanks for the help.

    Well, if you install WP at the root (i.e. example.com) then all the Pages will be at the root level – example.com/about.

    However, if you go by DR’s suggestion… you will achieve the same.

    If WP is installed at the root of the domain, is there any way, other than cracking open files, to have a managed “page” be the root page, and not a page listing posts?
