Need help with redirect to wordpress homepage

CMS & WordPress
1

Hello there,

I have my website here
http://www.sprocketdb.com
and if you notice when you go there it automatically redirects you to
http://www.sprocketdb.com/old/index.html
This is automatically redirected by index.html. I have installed wordpress in my root folder, however whenever I go to
http://www.sprocketdb.com/index.php
it jumps me to the old/index.html file.

Is there something I can put into the index.php for wordpress install so I can see my homepage. Basically I am creating this site and wanting to edit it live, while my traffic still is redirected to old site rather than the new one. I am in need of showing the client their new homepage, but I can’t acces index.php without it redirecting me.

Is there another URL I can give them or some code I can put into index.php?

Thanks,
Lorne

Check your htaccess file. Redirection code should be added over there… If you find it, remove it from there and you’re done.

Hey SSJ,

I actually have my redirection in my index.html head file. The .htaccess doesn’t have any redirection in there.

Should I not have the index.html file doing it and add to htaccess? If so, what code do I use to redirect it to www.sprocketdb.com/old/index.html? I don’t have really any experience working in .htaccess files.

Thanks,
Lorne
