   header.php … I dont want to click enter to go to my web site So if I use the 
   Meta refresh with temporisation of 3 seconds …

 * Hi passimal,
 * The trouble is that you are redirecting to the home page, the plugin will catch
   your redirect and once more show you the ‘splash.php’ page.
 * You should redirect to another page, not the home page.
 * Why not create a ‘redirect-home.php’ page?
 * <?php
    header(‘location:[http://www.bealcost.com/sitetest/&#8217](http://www.bealcost.com/sitetest/&#8217););?
   >
 * Just add the above code to it, and it should work.
 * Pay attention to have no empty lines before the code, else it will not work.
 * Regards,

 * Right now my page keeps refreshing over and over, I am using Lotus theme. It 
   can be seen at novomedicaltechnology.socialscoot.com I either need to find a 
   way to make the redirect work or move the main page of website to another directory??
   I currently have it setup to go to /home but that is not the main page. Any help
   would be appreciated!
