htaccess don't use index.html to send everything else to wordpress-CodePudding

I had a site completely run in wordpress. Made a new site from scratch and saved it to index.html. I made the htaccess file work for sending all other urls to the wordpress. The only problem is that I want the home page to be url.com/ instead of url.com/index.html in the address bar of the browser.

How do i keep everything working, except this one little thing?

CodePudding user response：

Set the following at the top of the .htaccess file:

DirectoryIndex index.html

This instructs Apache to serve index.html when requesting the root directory, instead of index.php (ie. WordPress). The WordPress homepage will then no longer be accessible, unless you explicitly call index.php.

currently, it forwards them to index.html instead of leaving the address the same url.com . leaving the url.com alone is the preferred action.

In addition to the above, you need to remove the last rule in your config file:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/?$ http://url.com/index.html

And make sure you've cleared your browser cache since the 301 (permanent) redirect to index.html will have been cached.
