    I don’t believe I followed your instructions correctly. Copy and paste those two lines and I got some strange web site.
    Did I screw up?

    Sorry, changed the example to http;//localhost and it worked. I’m in
    Thanks for the speedy replies.

    Sorry. Correction to the above. The setting I changed was in fact in the general settings where it asks for the web address.

    Sorry to be nuisance, but you missed the question!
    I installed Sydeny parent theme and activated it before being made aware of the child theme. Now I cannot find a way to de-activate or delete the main theme. There is not a way I can find apart from re-installing WordPress.
    I am using Linux localhost and things appear different.

    Sorry to waste your time, but I have bigger problems right now.
    I have just discovered that at ‘New page’ I have no formatting drop down tool bar.
    Means I have no way to format any text! The video tutorial suggests installing page builder, could that be the problem?
    Do you want me to move this to another area?

    Hell, now it’s screwed up that message
    What I tried to point out each mention of either < > was altered to &lt.
    Confusion reigns…….

    I have found the problem.
    When I get an answer to a question I take it down in my e mail OS. Fine no prob, but what I didn’t note was the extra changes made to code. For example @sterndata gave me this 

    <Directory /path/to/your/wp/installation>
  AllowOverride All
</Directory>

    but my e mail sent it out as this 

    #ServerName www.example.com

        ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
        DocumentRoot /var/www/html

         <Directory /var/www/html>
            Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
            AllowOverride All
            Order allow,deny
            allow from all
         </Directory>

    Note the odd extras &lt instead of < >
    So it’s no wonder it didn’t work, my lack of code experience was the cause. Sorry to cause so much confusion and waste of time!
    Regards To all

    Thank you, yes it does, but if I change the permalinks settings then the 404’s all come back?
    Strange?
    Will that make a difference when going live eventually?

    OK tried those suggestions but still the same which makes me think my setup is wrong.
    If I make up a new page, publish, then view that page I get a ‘not found’
    Could someone sort out this newbie, please.
    Regards beeman
