I should have been more specific on my post. I orginally had two .htaccess files . One for the root directory (public_html/) and one inside the retail/ folder. The htaccess in the retail folder held the joomsef code. The .htaccess file in the root directory held 301 redirections for my two secondary domains (www.nitro-tape.com) and (www.tommytape.com).

Now that I moved the site out of the retail directory and into the root, the old .htaccess was overwritten and my redirects disappeared. I figured it was an easy solve, and went back into my cpanel and added the redirects back. However, it seems that JOOMSEF code is conflicting somehow with the 301 redirects from my host cpanel (after the cpanel edits, I find the change made in the .htaccess file).

I don't know what to do!
I want to keep JOOMSEF, but I need these secondary domains to point to their respective pages:

nitro-tape.com >> midsunspecialtyproducts.com/nitro-tape/
and
tommytape.com >> midsunspecialtyproducts.com/tommytape/

Btw, the case of the Virtuemart links (I even paid for the extension a few months ago) were causing problems between registration and checkout. The cart would clear immediately after the customer submitted the registration. We found used an analytics program that is was scaring away a lot of customers, and for the longest time I believed it to be a Virtuemart script problem. When we performed the move, the JOOM SEF got complicating so I turned it off in that area, and we found the cart worked again. So I'm keeping it off in that area.


If you can lead me in the right direction, it is greatly appreciated!

Please help if possible! I met with an internet marketing consultant today, and he informed me that the splash page I had on the front page was not SEO friendly, and my Joomla directory was previously in the domain www.midsunspecialtyproducts.com/retail/.

In order to fix this, I had to move the directory down to www.midsunspecialtyproducts.com, and I followed a tutorial on what Joomla requires when moving directories, but now my JoomSEF links are all out of wack! The store link doesn't work anymore (used to direct to the virtuemart component) and my domain redirects don't work. The rest of the pages seem fine. If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated!
