Thanks so much for clarifying that, and thanks for your patience ??

Things are starting to add up now, I have everything connected and all the parts are talking to eachother which is a success for an absolute beginner anyway!

Thanks again

Thank you for the response Lyle, I did as you suggested; imported my original database into a new, empty one, and had the urls set to the live site. Then I installed and activated that plugin.

The permalinks no longer display that error, and the live site is looking 100% ?? Cheers!

The problems I mentioned in the first of my two posts, however, are still there. The local version of my site seems to be in tatters, and I’m unsure of how to bring any new changes to the site that I make through remote wp-admin, to the local version of my site, if that makes sense?

Is it that I need to have two separate databases, with unique WordPress logins and unique wp-config.php files, with one pointing to the live site, and the other to the localhost? At the moment using the WP dashboard will update content on either one or the other, so my local site is left lagging behind my live one.

Thanks again, I can now at least share what I have so far on my public URL with others, as its links no longer lead to pages with errors ??

Update: I went back to the URLs and changed them both to

define(‘WP_HOME’,’https://www.example.net’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’https://www.example.net’);

Permalinks now look as though they are assigned to the public address, but display a 500 Internal Server Error, instead of trying to access a localhost address.
