Ok I see it now. I had to look at the source code to see it was actually not your shop.:lol:
Let me look at the structure a second.:)

The problem you have is that your shop is publishing an index.php to your mydomain.com/shop and your doing the same thing as far as I can tell through wordpress so it's being overwritten. Which one shows depends on the last one published. I would think you could do a redirect script to send user to the correct page.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

I actually don't use Wordpress and my default webpage is index.htm (the temporary page on my website). Plus, they are in seperate directories.

Somehow my shop is publishing my Press page as index.php rather than just a regular page.

Ok my mistake on the wordpress. People through the word press around and it usually means wordpress.:lol: You'll need to add a redirect script to the header section of you shops index page.:)

Take a look at this.

Ok, I added the tag to index.php (Press page) in SCCP, changed the redirect to point to the home.php page, published and it didn't change anything. It isn't redirecting for some reason.

Wait, now I see what it does. The problem with this solution (:lol:) is that now if you click on the Press page (which is index.php), it will shoot you back to the home.php page.

Isn't that what you want? It seems that you wanted to bypass the shop/index.php.:)
I'm confused.:)

I need the Press page to be functiontional too. With the redirect in place, a person would come to my website, see a flash (quick second or two) of the Press page, then land on the Shop Home page (which is where I wanted them to land in the first place).

But then now say you want to check out the Press page, you click on Press and because the redirect is in place, the Press page shoots you back to the Shop Home page. So you can't really check out the Press page. :/

In the redirect script you can enter a number of seconds where the number 0 is at. 3 would be 3 seconds.

Right but even at 0 seconds, the initial page does load, in other words, you do see it for a second.

But besides that, if you volunarily want to visit the Press page, you can't because it will kick you back to the Home page.

It's as though I have a choice: either visitors have to land on my Press page when they visit my website (:rolleyes:) or I have a dysfunctional Press page because you can't really look at it since it has that redirect in place. :|

Go to my website/shop and check it out. The press page loads for a second or two (it's set at 0 seconds), then it takes you to the Shop Home. Now click on the Press link, it is not functional because it will kick you right back to the Shop Home.

Ok I guess your going to need something else. Why not drop the home page. Is there a reason you need to have both pages. I don't see the relevance of the single photo on the home page compared to the index page that has 52 images.:) I'm sure you could find a script that would only redirect if the user came from outside your site.
