    Let's say I have wordpress installed on mysite.com/blog. If the user has visited mysite.com/blog and when he wants to visit mysite.com, he's redirected back to mysite.com/blog. I can easily do this on static php page with cookie, but how to do this on wordpress?

    Thanks.

    EDIT: Apparently I posted this thread on wrong section, I didn't know "wordpress" section existed. Mod, would you kindly move this thread to "wordpress" section (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/forumdisplay.php?f=110).

    Can you clarify what you mean first... you WANT the person to be redirected to mysite.com/blog when they visit mysite.com? Or it's doing that right now and you want to stop it? Use HTACCESS 301 redirect:

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.com$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/subdirectory/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ subdirectory/$1 [L]
    Code (markup):

    NO, that's not what I want.

    The visitors have visited mysite.com/blog before. They now want to visit mysite.com, when they do, they're redirected to mysite.com/blog. If they haven't visited mysite.com/blog, they're not redirected to mysite.com/blog when they visit mysite.com.
