I figured out why I had been unable to see where to change URLs inside of WordPress. Most tutorials described how to change the way permalinks were automatically generated.
I remembered seeing that option before, but when I went back I could not see how to do so. I did not realize that one has to click on the title of the page for that option to appear.
and thanks again George. I used your tip today on how to change the home page:
“If you go to SETTINGS => READING, you can set ANY existing page as your “Homepage” to be used as the entry page of your site.”
It worked perfectly for me.

In reply to: How to delete old home page & make a new one.Thank you Jed! Your help is most appreciated.
How does one change a permalink? Can that be done within WordPress (or the Elementor plug-in) or is that done via the web host?
I’ve googled that, but the results I’m getting are a bit confusing.

In reply to: How to delete old home page & make a new one.Thank you so very much George for the time and effort you spent on helping out a newbie… again.
I’m sorry for the late response. Once again I didn’t see any email notification for it, but that may be because I was scrambling so much with work, family & trying to right the ship as best I could before the big event came up. We struggled through it, but it would have been much better had I had a little more time and had seen your posts in time to make the site more functional in time. But better late than never.
I will be going through your post & links as I try and learn the ins and outs of WordPress and the associated plug-ins.
Thanks again for your help, and may Our Lord bless you richly for the love you showed in helping a stranger.

In reply to: 404 error for most people, but not Admin for same URLWow, I’m sorry I didn’t see this earlier. I don’t know how I missed your reply. I didn’t see an email notification on it, but I’m glad you linked to it from another reply. I thought it had drifted off into oblivion.
That is something I had thought of and your kindness in responding may have saved me from making that mistake in the future. Unfortunately, I seem to have a different error.
Here is a screenshot of that page in edit mode. It looks like it is already set to “public”.
