[wp-hackers] by passing the entire template hierarchy

[Walter Ebert]

Hi,

you could try to use a custom front controller and use .htaccess to map
to that file, for example:

index2.php
<?php
require 'wp-load.php';
require get_template_directory() . '/index.php';


.htaccess
DirectoryIndex index2.php index.php index.html

Cheers,
Walter
