False alarm. Thanks jnhghy. I guess your suggestion worked (partly). 🙂
I had to change one more setting. I logged into the admin and followed the instructions from the site you suggested for settings ‘On Your Existing Server’
Go to the Administration > Settings > General panel.
In the box for WordPress address (URI): change the address to the new location of your main WordPress core files.
In the box for Site address (URL): change the address to the new location, which should match the WordPress (your public site) address (URI).
Click Save Settings.
Thank you for your help and quick reply 🙂
Thanks I have updated the siteurl but the posts still are referring to the 127.0.0.1/wordpress/?page_id=67 🙁
I have a home, about us, contact us and service page.
The homepage since I am testing is ‘http://sitename/wordpress/
The images don’t link either 🙁
I will try the Duplicator plugin and see how things go.
Thanks
