Problems with my wordpress

Hi guys,

It's my first post here.

I don't know if any of you have faced this problems before.

What happened is that when i created my site and then I created a page called recommended, somehow my homepage - mydomain.com automatically redirects to mydomain.com/recommended.

Whenever I tried to go to my homepage, it always ended up to mydomain.com/recommended. Is it because of a certain plug-in?

Have any of you faced this problem before? Any way to solve this?

Would really appreciate your feedback.

Thanks

    I need to see what's going on. Can you PM the site so I can take a look?

    Could possibly be an htaccess issue. Find the file in your root named ".htaccess" and open it in a text editor to see if there's a line which is doing the forwarding, like:
    Code:
    RewriteRule ^/ /recommended
    or something to that effect. WordPress makes modifications to that file to handle its "pretty url's" so it could possibly be screwed up somehow. Hope this helps.

    Under settings 'reading' you have an option to set a static main page for your site and a page that displays your posts from your blog. Double check that to make sure that is not your issue. Using a page that is set as your static page is how WP is used to create more of a normal web site structure rather than a blog on the front page.

    I usually set a static page for my 'home' page then create a page called 'blog' to display all of my posts. Anyway, I hope this helps. If you need more help I will do work on contract and can dig in and get this up and running overnight.

      My site is smoking-cancer dot com. I redirected the recommended to random post at the moment.

      This is written in my.htacess. Any problem?
      # BEGIN WordPress
      <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
      RewriteEngine On
      RewriteBase /
      RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
      RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
      </IfModule>

      # END WordPress

    Site works okay on my end... I am able to view your homepage just fine, without being redirected.

    Have you fixed the problem?
