| However now if I try to go to www.site.com/index.php (which should be the Wordpress home page) it takes me to comingsoon.php |
|
i would use a tool such as the Live HTTP Headers firefox plugin to see what your response status code chain is.
| www.site.com/pagedoesntexist.php -> goes to www.site.com/oldsite/error.php |
|
rather than a redirect that response should be a 404 Not Found or 410 Gone status code.
then you can configure the server to display a Custom Error Response [httpd.apache.org] such as your error.php for the 404/410 response.

I ended up going at this the other direction.
1) NO .htaccess
2) In WP set page X as my home
3) In WP page Y is my real home
4) Found a plugin that says if you hit X redirect to my old site
That took care of it until I switched it over.

NO, I couldn't figure it out...just had to go the WP route.
