Basically I just want to be able to select the option that has the post name appearing in the URL: Post name https://katesbeautyblog.com/sample-post/
But when I try to select that, none of my links work. Instead I am just redirected to my home page. The only option that works is: Default https://katesbeautyblog.com/?p=123
I will check out that link you provided – thank you!
With respect to your last point, I really have no idea – I am new to the blogging word! How do I set up a .htaccess file/see if it is being created?
