Fixing a site on a Development Server That was Built in a Sub-Directory on MAMP

Firstly, I've built 3-4 sites over the last 5 years. Two of which used Perch. I'm not a full time developer. I now realise that developing on MAMP locally, I shouldn't use a sub-directory. I did because I have 3 ongoing projects. I won't do this again.

Perch worked great on MAMP, I've since moved it to a development server, (which I don't have control of), before moving to the live server.

The content is visible in the Perch Cpanel but only the shared regions are displaying in the 'html', all other regions are blank.

Could anyone steer me towards a fix for this issue, or do I have to start again adding all the content (over 140 pages) on my local server, without using a sub-directory?

I would be very grateful for any help.

Here's the diagnostics report: Health check

If you go to the Location tab under any region, you can update the path that is stored for that region. You'd need to remove the subdirectory part.

Thanks Drew

I did eventually find the fix but by using a google search, rather than the forum (where many of the relevant threads were discontinued) despite an hour or so of searching.

It can often be more efficient to search for existing answers than post a duplicate, especially over a weekend.
