The Short Version:
If you need to redirect the location of your Wordpress homepage you might find this plug in useful.
Slightly Longer Version:
I installed Wordpress in a sub directory when I first started blogging ages ago. Then I set up a simple homepage at the root of my domain. The homepage pulled data from various locations and married it all together. This worked great at first but when I started customizing my templates more and more it grew to be more of a hassle to make the homepage match. I eventually just mirrored the Wordpress homepage at the root of my domain. This resulted in having two pages that were exactly the same and two different locations that were linked to. To remedy that I needed to 301 one of the pages to the other. I chose to redirect the Wordpress default to the root of the domain. I wrote this plugin to let me do that easily.
Install & Configure:
As with all plugins just unzip it and drop it in your plugins directory. That is in the wp-content folder which is in the root of your wordpress install. Go to your admin panel then your plugins section and activate the “Redirect Homepage” plugin. After that you need to set the new location of your homepage. Go to the Options panel and look for the “Redirect Homepage” optiosn panel.
