I had a temporary entry page in my website (www.apollo-vesta.nl). After a while, I did not need it any longer and disabled the Show Entry Page slider. After uploading (and refreshing the browser), the entry page still keeps showing. How can I remove it ?
Posted on the
Manually (via FTP) delete https://www.apollo-vesta.nl/index.php
The https://www.apollo-vesta.nl/index.php
Has a <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="1; url=home.html"> in it,
Which mean that after 1 second the page redirects to home.html
For now you have both an index.php and a index.html
index.php takes priority first and if there is no such then the system searches for a index.html
So - deleting the index.php should do the job
If you specify the index-file by using https://www.apollo-vesta.nl/index.html then the system has not to decide which index-file to use, and then the problem is gone.
When you delete the index.php, then the system will "find" only the html and that is what you want.
You could say that the X5 should clean up and do the deletion for you - but X5 does not do that.

tnx for the solution. I agree X5 should do the deletion, but I now did it manually.
