Arrghhh. Now simple products will not publish either. I will persevere, but if anyone can help or guide me that will be great.

No. Both are fully installed on separate subfolders and all the files are installed on each folder (separate) their is no wordpress on the root domain, but there is zencart.

I checked the root .htaccess file and it was blank. I replaced it with one that says DirectoryIndex index.php
I also check the .htaccess file in the public_html folder and that one has quite a bit in it, but I’m not sure what to look for.
Here is what it says:
