 * Word Press automatically updated version and killed my petition! What’s up with
   that? I am not a huge fan of wordpress so I really don’t want to have to struggle
   to get this back online. Simple is best. Thoughts?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fautomatic-update-31%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * What do you mean by “killed my petition”?

 * If I click on your link I get a page with no petition. But if I shorten it to
   [http://vanillafudgehalloffame.com/](http://vanillafudgehalloffame.com/) I get
   redirected to [http://vanillafudgehalloffame.com/petitions/vf-into-the-rock-hall-of-fame/petitions/vf-into-the-rock-hall-of-fame/](http://vanillafudgehalloffame.com/petitions/vf-into-the-rock-hall-of-fame/petitions/vf-into-the-rock-hall-of-fame/)
   which has a petition that seems to work just fine (I voted!).
 * Not sure what this means but maybe it will help you puzzle things out.

 * Thanks, When I went there I got to the home page from WordPress. I cant get the
   WordPress app to set the petition page as the home page. It’s really odd for 
   me. WordPress is just not what I am used to working with so I cant locate anything
   without an exhaustive search. I know it’s me, lots of great sites out there on
   WP. Much thanks for this. I will get it sorted I hope.

 * Thanks Steve! I see (now) where you set this in the general settings. So much
   I need to get up to speed with on wp. Thanks very much!
