-Just a quick update. I managed to fix this by changing the entries in the dashboard under ‘web address’ and ‘blogg adress’. Due to a process that is way beyond my feeble brain, the change propagated through the site and I didn’t have to touch the db at all.
-So, many thanks again for your input: it sparked something in me, clearly 🙂 And I added this update in case the issue comes up for another user.
-Ahhh glorious! Thank you very much for your help and insight. I do have phpMy Admin installed, but I don’t think it’s in quite the same form the WP documentation is expecting. (I know that I had to fiddle a bit to get a db created.) I’ll contact my host 🙂
-Thanks again!
