Choosing a "Home" page removes content on my Joomla site

I'm having a bit of an odd issue. I'm using JoomlaShine's Boot template, and Joomla 3.0.1

Basically, the client wants featured articles to be on the website's home page. So I made a menu item which is set to -> Featured Articles. Here's the issue: When that item is set to "Home" (as my default page) for SOME reason that I can't figure out... All the content decides to become hidden or removed (although all the options and code say it's visible). If I pick another item to become the Home page, the Featured articles original desired home page link shows everything perfectly. But if I switch back... again, all the featured articles are removed.

For visual aid, This is what the page looks like when it's set to "Home"

Image link removed - not enough rep

However, this is ACTUALLY how the page is configured, and when I pick another item to become the Home page this is how it looks:

Image link removed - not enough rep

^^ The latter is the desired effect.

EDIT~~

Alright I realised my method of posting images is not the most obvious. If you navigate to:

http://new.providentia.org.uk/new/

And then click on 'Home' in the navigation bar -- That's the difference between a page set to be the default homepage vs. what I've set it up to look like. Both setups are identical, it's just that for some reason choosing any page as the 'default' just removes all the content within it.

~~

Really need a hand on this guys, Not sure what the issue is exactly but if you guys eed any code sinppets or anything else, please just ask and I'll provide asap! Thank you VERY much in advance

This sounds like an issue related to whatever is serving your static content.

Apache is the typical server on many shared hosting services. I would first check the document root of your site for the .htaccess [hidden] file, and there are any number of things to look out for.

ie------> magic quotes, some other common issues related to .htaccess, rewrites and redirects like;

Allow symlinks(many hosts do not allow this anymore and could be related to the issue. I would speak with my host at that point)

Options +FollowSymLinks

Rewrites should be on

RewriteEngine On

Another thing that may be worth trying is renaming the “.htaccess” file ---> “.htaccess~” And maybe even php.ini (if that is applicable for your version of php) and let apache recreate it.

I would take this information and continue readingh throug the joomla docs in the first link mentioned and come back with more specific questions if you need.
