hello @jordesign thanks so much for looking.
Yes I may well have resolved it. I created a new template page for the home page and then created new navigation blocks on all the other pages and made sure that each individual page template pointed to my new “home page” template. That didn’t work entirely so…
then I had to check the “permalink” names on each of the navigation links from the template…I think that’s where the error was. The permalinks we’re not showing up as they had been set in the menu, not really sure why, but once I checked each one and altered it it seemed to show up properly. Sorry for not reporting back quicker…it’s been a hectic week.
