How can I install WordPress without losing all the indexed html pages?
Can You Answer This Question:
I want to switch to a clean new WordPress theme for a site, but Google has indexed 2500 pages from the old site (mainly due to a calendar module creating a new page for each day). How do I ensure all those pages remain accessible for Google, without throwing up a “Page Not Found” when someone tries to access it after installing the new WordPress theme. The current site is content managed and is running pHp.

Installing WordPress will not delete any pages you already have. However, since you already have some type of index page in the root of your domain like index.html, you shouldn’t install WordPress in the root because WP creates an index.php file in the root and you’ll run into conflicts. You can install WP in a folder called blog or some other thing and then link to it from your static site.
