Gentlemen,

Thank you for your suggestions- it fixed my problem.

For future reference and to help others, what I meant when I said some pages don’t load was this: an error message that said something like ‘the URL siteA/page1 could not be found. No error number as far I remember- I fixed the issue before noting down the exact wording!

I went into wp-admin as suggested and changed the permalink structure from post-name to default. This seemed to fix one of the problematic pages but not the other two. I then changed it back to post name and that fixed all the pages.

stoatoffear, I’m not savvy enough to follow your suggestion of changing string length, although I didn’t need to do it to fix my issue. Someone else might find it helpful.

Thanks for the help again.

CiderJack- that helped more than anything else I’d tried. I had tried the find/replace before but I think I was putting in the wrong path for localhost.

I replaced https://siteA.com with https://localhost:8888/siteA and now some pages are working but others don’t load. Homepage and wp-admin work, blog page works but other main pages dont load.

I can provide more information about this- what would someone need to know in order to suggest a fix?

Thanks again.

Incidentally, and I’m not sure if this information is of any use, if I navigate to:

localhost:8888/siteA/wp-admin,

it takes me to the log-in page for the live site.
