[marknew]

no my template doesn't have tpl_index.php

Categories - Always Show on Main Page 1 yes.

now the featured products don't show on the main page. They do when i set Categories - Always Show on Main Page 1 to "no" If i switch it to Categories - Always Show on Main Page 1 yes, the home page text shows but no featured products. I guess thats a corrupt/missing file maybe? but what files should i check now?

Actually if i set Categories - Always Show on Main Page 1 to"no" i get the text but the footer and rh colunm are gone!

Do you have a back up of the original files and database from before you began upgrading?

I have just downloaded them again as the first backup was corrupted. I found the home page problem was an error with social networking code. Thanks for your help. I still have problems with the payment modules but hopefully I can fix them with the new backup files.
