You have to point your domain name to the new site.
that’s not what i want to do
i want it so if someone brings up mydomainname.com it brings up the static html page i have
but if someone types mydomainname.com/home it would bring up my wordpress site
but also at the moment if they click on a link that’s mydomainname.com/home it redirects to the static html page anyway
Oh! I get it. That’s easy. Install WordPress in mydomainname.com/home directory. Then, make sure on the Settings/General page, it reflects myhomedomainname.com/home.
That wont work because all the rest of my links will be domain.com/home/whatever which I don’t want
Johnzoro, which links would be wrong? The links in the front page (domain name) or your WordPress links? i’m trying to understand what you want to do.
Static page at domainname.com
WordPress at domainname.com/directory
Is that correct?
If yes, you can change the links in your static pages to point to WordPress.
WordPress links will point to WordPress unless you manually insert the links in menus and links within text to point to the static page at domainname.com.

no i want wordpress at domain name but i want the homepage of wordpress to be domain.com/home and i want when someone who goes there, it doesn’t redirect them to the static page
i want to leave the static page at domain.com
the rest of the pages i want as normal
domain.com/page1
domain.com/page2
etc
etc
You can’t have the static page and the WordPress home page at domain.com
i don’t want both the static page and the wordpress home page as the home page
i can’t see how something so simple has got so complicated
i just want to install wordpress in the root directory and have the first/home page of wordpress as domain.com/home but have everything else as is domain.com/about domain.com/contact etc etc
but i want domain.com to be my static page
and i want it so if someone clicks on domain.com/home it takes them to domain.com/home and not my domain.com which will be my static page
