I used Freeway Pro to build the ‘stdavidsdalkeith.co.uk’ site some years ago and have updated it a couple of times a week ever since. It is a basic site which has worked well for me when viewed in a standard browser on a computer.
No problems until very recently.
I upgraded to FP7 and continued as before.
I am working on a responsive version for the future, but for now I am just updating the old fixed version.
My last update resulted in some very unexpected (to me) results. The main master page puts a heading of graphic - text - graphic then below on the left a menu alongside the page content.
Some pages still show this, eg the welcome page, but most have lost the master text and right graphic with the page content being moved up to the top.
This has happened throughout the site, even to pages I had not consciously updated.
What have I done or missed to get this result?
I look forward to some guidance/help from the experts.

I have taken an old working backup of the site from a couple of months ago and simply opened it with FW7 with no changes.
Previewing a suspect page gives the problem of some of the master pages heading content disappearing.
Publish Everything and then viewing in a browser shows the problem is quite widespread across the site.
I am now convinced it is a conversion problem from FW6 to FW7 in that either something is wrong in my old site, but still works in FW6, and FW7 is not coping with it sensibly.
Or there is a problem with FW7 which this is highlighting.
Either way I have now raised a support ticket to get it looked at by the back room team.
I have a son who has had a look at the html on the good and bad pages and he has identified that the ‘missing’ items are being given a margin of -600px or so. Interesting that for main menu pages it is ok on some pages and missing 2 master page heading items on others. For both sub menu pages it is missing 1 master page heading item…
