    I just installed the plugin and I'm not sure if it was something I did or what but the home page redirects to the contact form...

    troverse.com

    I'm using the headway theme

  2. While that's extremely cool, I really have no idea why that is. Gravity Forms has nothing to do with your WordPress settings. You'll probably need to inquire with the Headway support team on that.

  3. There's some weirdness there.

    The home page http://www.troverse.com/

    301 redirects to this page /contact-us-2/

    which 301 redirects to http://www.troverse.com/contact-troverse/

    I'm guessing you have some sort of permalink/.htaccess or mod_speling thing going on. What *should* the home page be displaying (according to your wp-admin/options-reading.php settings - or Headway settings)?

    I'm starting to think it's a mod_speling thing, which is an Apache module to try and redirect people who have mis-typed URLs. It does create weirdness sometimes.
    http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_speling.html

    Try this URL:
    http://www.troverse.com/contact-tro/

    It won't give a 404. Some URLs that are really far off will show a 404.

    404: http://www.troverse.com/contact-trolley

    To turn off mod_speling, add this to your .htaccess file:

    CheckSpelling Off
