Thanks Ted. I got this issue resolved following the recommendations on the link below and the comments between the websites owners and “JAMIE MANNION”:

It appears I needed to reset the permalinks properties that I had inherited from the live website ??

I will be marking this as resolved.

Thank you for the information catacaustic.
