 * Just confirmed with my host technical support that it was the .htaccess redirect
   that caused the problem and that my browser had cached my previous changes.
 * Now to figure out what I had done with the SEO settings to cause it …. and how
   to get into the plugin settings and undo what I did

 * In WP Admin – Participants Database – List Participants. You can then click on
   the pencil next to the data record you want to change to go into edit mode. To
   delete, click on the check box next to the record to be deleted and then use 
   the dropdown in “With selected” to select Delete, then click on Apply.

 * Somehow I have resolved this but I do not why it happened in the first place.
   I moved the templates to the correct directory as suggested in your article.
 * I contacted the web host who has replied
 * “That would be up to your or your developer to determine I’m afraid. It would
   not be server side but the configuration of your site content. It might be the
   plugin/theme has content or holding on to values in its cache as often they do
   hold there own cache values.”
 * In order to try and force the change I renamed the template from wp-content/themes/
   Divi/templates/pdb-record-custom_villainfo.php to wp-content/themes/Divi/templates/
   pdb-record-custom_villainfo-new.php. I left the shortcode on the relevant page
   calling pdb-record-custom_villainfo.php … which no longer exists on the server.
   But the page still returns data formatted according to pdb-record-custom_villainfo.
   php, which does not exist!
 * I then deleted the sandbox subdirectory on httpdocs where I orginally redeveloped
   the site.
 * The page then presented the information using your standard template
 * I renamed the custom template back to pdb-record-custom-villainfo.php, which 
   is what the shortcode calls and hey presto suddenly all is okay.
 * Somehow my top wordpress installation was picking up the template from the sandbox
   development version. Once the sandbox development version was deleted everything
   now works fine.

 * Thanks for both your comments. I have contacted my web host and am waiting to
   hear from them. I will move the templates as well.

 * Don’t worry, I have resolved this myself. The error message shown above may have
   been due to caching or similar issue. After quitting everything, clearing caches,
   closing down laptop the message disappeared.
 * Further changes were required and made to .htaccess. Now the upgrade seems to
   be complete.

 * The problem occurs if the date fields set up as type Date, which seems to expect
   american date format. With the Date type field 29/07/2017 was not stored and 
   12/08/2017 was, but displays as 8th December, 2017.
 * If the type is text and dates entered as above then they are stored / displayed
   exactly as entered. But then I cannot sort on the date fields which is important
   for me.
 * Currently the dates are set to type text.

 * Email issue resolved by setting the primary email address in Advanced Settings.
   Thanks.
 * Another issue with participant login. After a guest has logged in and the record
   page is displayed, the url shows the pid in clear text
 * e.g [http://www.letsgotopuglia.co.uk/edit-your-booking/?pid=QPWM9](http://www.letsgotopuglia.co.uk/edit-your-booking/?pid=QPWM9)
 * This means the guest can access the record page by simply using the url and without
   logging in.
 * Am I missing something?

 * I resolved the issue with the password by creating a password type field in a
   field group other than Admin.
 * However when I request resend private id link I still don’t get the email

   not receive it. I did receive and email saying that a lost private link had been
