Hi Ken,
Your a master...….so I've got the dw7240.com forwarding to dw7240/Base-Canada/index.php working again, and yes that was an issue with .htaccess file, not sure why, but both .htaccess files - there's one in the Base-Canada folder and one in the root, these seemed to be swapped, which is kind of weird because I have not touched them in any way for years, but my site was recently moved by Godaddy to another server, wonder if they done that ?
Secondly, you were right about the menubar.php file, it trys to load the usaextremes.php which is correct but there's an issue with the usaextremes, not sure what, so I deleted the extremes php files and not the site works fine, just as before. Incredibly that one file would make such a mess of things, I was thinking of the obvious files like ajax dashboard, index.php, etc etc, those that make the basis of the site, never thinking that an outside file could have so much influence in how the site would load.
So thank you Ken, you really have made my day, I was thinking oh god, four years of work spent in one day, now I'm a happy bunny again, lol.
Thanks again - now to get those usaextremes files sorted out and figuring what's up with them.
