Pretty Permalinks not redirecting properly

Hey,

My website is set up to be a pretty simple. New post updates the front page, and is added onto the blog list page. Clicking a blog from the homepage or blog list page takes you to that blog on single.php

I created some new php files, gave them their template names, added a new page and linked it up with the correct template name.

However my wordpress is installed to a subdomain called “blog”. Like this:

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

My website is: https://www.elliothesp.co.uk

However: the page in WordPress called Contact sends the URL to here https://elliothesp.co.uk/contact-page when the location of the file is actually https://blog.elliothesp.co.uk/contact-page

The issue seems to be that when a new page is made, WordPress creates it and only assigns it the URL elliothesp.co.uk/pagename instead of blog.elliothesp.co.uk/pagename

Anyone have any ideas?

NB: When I update the permalinks it tells me the htaccess file isnt writable, which it is, and it has the correct text in it – ive tripple checked.
