Hello Christine,
Thank you for the reply.
I have webspace with 123-reg and have several sub-folders containing the materials for websites that I have hand written myself (i.e. not wordpress or any other cms). The domain names for these websites are mapped to the folders and I have had no problem until now.
The wordpress site was created within a folder called inspirationbeads_wp (https://www.daveb.co.uk/inspirationbeads_wp). I tried mapping the domain name which didn’t work, so I then experimented by changing the addresses/paths in the wordpress and site addresses within general settings. It was after this that the mentioned problem occurred?
Thank you,
Dave
