Hi, I have a site that is not redirecting to the home page.

Here is the url http://www.leevasu.com/

and yes the home page redirection is enabled, but the wb was installed in the art directory..

So you can see the site at http://www.leevasu.com/art

so how do i get it to redirect to the home page?

Hello,

Home page redirection in the options did not mean that all your pages are directed from the /art folder to the root. this Option only affects that if you call your url you also see at your root page the full path ( with /art folder and page name /home.php ).

Hi,

You can make an INDEX.HTML file in the root of your site (www.leevasu.com) with following content:


Code:
<HTML>
<HEAD><TITLE>Please wait...</TITLE>

<META content="MSHTML 6.00.2900.2912" name=GENERATOR>
<META http-equiv=Refresh content=0;URL=http://www.leevasu.com/art>

</HEAD>
<BODY>
</BODY>

Save this file as INDEX.HTML and this will send you to the correct location.

Grtz,
Luc

Hi, I am also thinking about doing it as my site is developed in a wb folder...
If I use:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0; URL=wb/">
</head>
</html>

Won't it have a negative effect on google and your page ranking Huh
Will the best option be to move it to root from?

And if You dont like a redirect.....
.....so make a normal html - a welcome-page - some content and a link to Your WB.  wink

PS: Falls jemand eine Idee hat was zu tun ist und mir das erklären könnt - geh bitte davon aus dass ich ahnungslos bin, was php und so betrifft. Ich kann grad was lesen, kopieren und einfügen,  ungefähr verfolgen und glauben.

Do you mean that my solution have a bad effect on Google Search crawlers?
In that case, I will change it to your solution. Because I never install WB in the root.

I might be wrong, but am sure that google will not like the idea if your homepage is directed from another page... Google picked up my site from this forum and the link was something like www.domain.co.za/wb...
I have a re-direction to another domain while I am finalising the site in the wb folder. Two days after the site was indexed in the wb folder it was removed....Huh

I think, as soon as my site is completed, I will need to move it to the root folder to make it MORE google or SEO friendly...
