Merged Child Help replaces merged help - RoboHelp 2022

I have one parent merge project and multiple child projects.  I have inserted the child projects into the TOC of my parent project.  I'm generating with a Frameless Responsive Skin, and that same skin is imported into all of my projects.  When I generated at the end of October the help was working correctly.  When I accessed the help recently, when I click on any link that accesses a page in the child project or if I use the TOC to select a child page, then the entire window is replaced with only the TOC of the child project.  This was not occurring the last time I accessed the online help.  I have entered a ticket with my company's help desk to see if they are aware of any changes to our browser settings.  I downloaded merged output from Peter Grainge's website and the merged help works correctly in my browser.  So, now I'm wondering what might be wrong with my style sheet or skin that is causing the entire window to suddenly be replaced by the child TOC instead of just expanding the child TOC within the rest of the help.  Any suggestions from anyone on how to resolve this issue?

    Generate the whole thing again to a new folder locally and test it there.

    Some paragraphs would help to make your post easier to follow. 🙂

     

    It looks like the standard mistake. In the parent TOC I suspect you have browsed to the start page of the output rather than the XPJ file.

    I inserted the child projects by selecting the .rhpj file.

    Sorry, I meant RHPJ. 

     

    Maybe the child project is pointing to the start page rather than the default topic?
