Need help with start page

The problem is easy but I’m a little bit confused about it.

The site should start with some swf file. I have it ready. I have intro.html page.
After choosing “skip intro” it should go to main site. I also have it. It’s WordPress site.
My problem:
How should I arrange it so when someone choose the main domain, it opens intro.html and then after skipping intro it can be used WP site.

Thanks anyway :slight_smile:

[FONT=“Georgia”]Did you build and set up your site as a Wordpress theme, or do you have your site structure normally with Wordpress in some other folder?

Because if you had it set up like a theme, then you should be able to just rename your intro file to “front-page.html” (inside the theme folder) and Wordpress would automatically choose to display that file as the website’s homepage.[/FONT]

[edit]My mistake, I just noticed you chose another solution.

Glad you got through :tup:[/edit]

I tried that. But that just destroyed my WordPres site.

You could try to rename the file from intro.html to index.html. Some servers are set up to look for HTML extensions first before PHP. If that does not work, why not just create a custom template (or even embed the SWF into a Page and use Wordpress’ Settings to make that page appear as the home page. Then, when they click “Skip Intro” they’re taken to a secondary Wordpresss page.

Or, just embed the SWF at the top of a page and show your content below…

You can also create a custom template to base your Page on so it will not look like the other pages of the site - nav menu, sidebars, header etc. You could just strip everything out and have your SWF.

Simple and clever. And it’s working! Thanks timothytrice :slight_smile:

Then you’re best option will just be to embed the SWF into a Wordpress Page and set that page as your home. Redo the file to have the “skip Intro” point to presumably your blog page
