Hey, it could also be implemented into wp-content/themes and wp-content/uploads folder. Don’t you think to make a little privacy to those folders? I have visited several professional wp blogs and I could see their installed themes. That’s a funny thing, right

@ gadgets – Redirecting to the homepage would be a fine idea!

@ Peter Answers – Yea, It is pretty pathetic of Wordpress not to automatically install that on every new installation.

@ gadgets – Thanks for your code wizardry

@ Wendy – LoL! Are you sure you typed it in right??

@Yan: You can either use an HTML meta refresh tag like so:

>meta http-equiv=”refresh” content=”2;url=http://somesite.com”< (2 is the number of seconds before the refresh)or do a little php:

header("Location: http://somesite.com“);

best part is the php one is instant, I think there is a minimum of a 1 second delay with the meta tag.
