So I built a D7 (7.50) website for a client on a proto domain and when they were satisfied with it I forwarded their original domain to the new D7 site with masking so that the original domain they typed in showed in the browser instead of the proto bogus domain. The forwarding and masking are done at GoDaddy. This all worked fine and they were delighted with their upgrade to D7.
However, just in the last week the forwarding gives a blank page. I can still see the site directly at it's own proto domain, but when the original domain is forwarded with masking it just shows a blank page. Turning off masking on the GoDaddy end causes the forwarding to work fine gain, but without masking of course. Now the user sees the proto URL when they type in the company URL.
I've had the GD account checked out and I tested forwarding elsewhere with masking and it works fine, so something on my D7 site has changed and breaks masking. I thought it might have been reCaptcha which I recently added, but disabling it (and Captcha) doesn't fix anyting.
Anyone seen this before and have any suggestions?
