Realised I needed to create an .htaccess file (found this confusing because it was telling me to make it writeable when I didn’t have one) and now have fairly pretty permalinks. Thanks for your help, Andrew

Thanks, have restored the default permalink structure for now and it’s working again.

You’ve probably got the f word in your code! But thanks for the offer. ‘Please don’t be angry if I ask one more thing’ (Genesis 18 v 32), how would I put the author at the end of the post, which is where it originally said ‘posted by admin’? Thanks for your help.

Hi, that’s great, thanks. Would you mind telling me how to put about three blank spaces between the date and the author? Thanks, Andrew

Thanks, all is well.

I should have said that I am going to remove all my html files and start afresh. Just want to get the basic blog working first.

Actually the www directory shows (eg on Filezilla) as /mydomainname-www/.

I mean if somebody goes to https://www.mydomainname.com they get the front WordPress blog page, rather than that being at https://www.mydomainname.com/blog (or whatever)
