Thanks so much Kevin – the static front page sounds like the perfect solution!

I am using Thrive Landing Pages to create the pages themselves so this takes care of the rest.

Thanks once again – you have saved me hours of trying to figure that out ??

Best wishes

Wow leejosepho – thanks so much for your help – you have been unbelievably generous with your time and I really do appreciate it.

You have made it all very clear and I feel I can finally get on and make some progress.

Thanks again – I am so grateful.

Hi there

Yes I see what you mean – that is exactly what I would like to achieve.

I use iPage for my hosting and when I look at the file manager there is no public_html – would this just be what is shown as root? The file structure with just the primary domain looks as follows:

root/cgi_bin
root/stats
root/wp-admin
root/wp-content
root/wp-includes

Thanks for your help.

Yes I did ask but got some contradictory information from 2 different support agents so decided to research it elsewhere to be sure.

My set-up is as described above.

Have fumbled my way through by trial and error and worked out where i was going wrong.

Thanks for all the help – no doubt I will be back soon with another crisis!

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply and sorry not to have included enough info. I am using Apache and my files are in subdirecties of XAMPP which is in my user directory.

The info I was using said to put the wordpress folder in the htdocs directory so this is at xampp>htdocs>wordpress

I manually edited the wp-config-sample.php file and saved as wp-config.php as the install files would not run in my browser.

the htdocs directory doesn’t have a directory laetestsite – the only place this appears to have been created during setup is in the mysql>data folder.

Sorry to be dim about it and once again thanks so much for taking the time to help.
