How do I change global file path?

This might seem basic but I don't use PHP and I'm still new to perch. Illustrated by the point that I still don't know how to find the Diagnostic Report (can't find it in admin settings).

So when I work locally, I create the site 1 level deep like so 'mamp/htdocs/project-name'.

I put the site on the live server and edited the config from:

define('PERCH_LOGINPATH', '/project-name/perch');

to:

define('PERCH_LOGINPATH', '/perch');

and switched all the page locations in the admin.

Everything seems to be running smoothly, apart from perch is still trying to locate the resources folder in /project-name/perch/resources.

How do I change this behaviour please?

Just figured out I need to just go to edit files and re-save to fix the path.

Moving forward though, is there a way to reset all file paths? Like the equivalent of re-saving every resource in order to fix all file paths in one go?

Yes, the Republish button should do that.

I honestly haven't noticed that button until I knew I was looking for it.

Thanks Drew!
