    i’m trying to set up a wordpress site where there are call-to-action lines and buttons below them on the home page. the idea is that clicking that button takes the visitor to another page in the site where there are videos, and i want the video that was chosen with the home page click to automatically open and start playing…as opposed to just landing on that video page and having to click a 2nd time to open the video. any thoughts?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    What is the URL of the exact site you refer to starting with http:// ?

    I’m asking because this one hasn’t been active since 2013. https://yagodude.wordpress.com/

    Hi…thanks for responding. Yeah, I started this blog and then got busy elsewhere. The actual site isn’t live yet, but here’s the numeric URL: http://37.60.235.12/~rabbibra/

    You’ll see 3 questions on the home page. We want a visitor to choose one (or more) but when they click the button, we want them to immediately go to the videos page and have the video viewer already open and the video starting. Right now when you click on a home page button it takes you to the video page and THEN you have to click (yet again) to watch the video. But since you already chose the video on the home page we don’t want a visitor to have to click again. Hope that makes sense… thanks!

    Hi there,

    I’m sorry but you are posting to the wrong support forum. We cannot help you here at wordpress.COM because that site is not hosted here, our support docs do not apply to it, and we do not provide support for sites we do not host.

    WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

    WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
