How to Stop WordPress From Passing to index.php
If you're integrating a WordPress blog into an existing website, you might experience a problem when attempting to visit the existing website's home page. WordPress uses a URL rewrite code to pass all home page requests in the blog directory to the "index.php" page. This is done to prevent search engines listing your home page multiple times, which can interfere with search engine optimization. Fortunately, you can stop this automatic URL redirection by adding a line of code to your WordPress theme's "functions.php" file.
