Thanks Ben,
Sorry I jumped to the conclusion it was a browser issue, as IE clearly did not work, but as you have concluded, the links were still pointing to my localhost server.
I use BackupBuddy to migrate and move sites and this is the first time that it has not done a 100% job of updating all the changing URL’s Why would that be ? Where does BB store the URL info for it’s pages?
I also note this article that recently was published on Net-Tuts
https://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/why-you-shouldnt-code-urls-in-themes-or-plugins-and-the-wordpress-functions-to-use-instead--cms-23262
I’d be interested in your thoughts on this ?
Thanks again for your great support…
Dave
