I will definitely give that a shot tonight when I get back home. Thanks so much.

Sadly when I did my first “play” with uploading I had my proper address in settings general and a “play” folder setting in my publishing settings, it did not work @differentdan asked me to change to both same and it worked. Just speaking from experience.

OK, but I have a website with three separate publish locations (local, staging and production), all with different website addresses and that works well.

Probably needs @tpbradley to give us the definitive answer on how it is meant to work. 🙂

You’re right, the “ **Override Website Address** ” field in publishing settings only needs to be filled in if someone is trying to override the website address in the General Settings field (like publishing the same site to a staging domain or different TLD altogether, etc.). What we see is a lot of people putting something like `https://example.com` in the General Settings and then `https://www.example.com` in the “ **Override Website Address** ” field in publishing settings which isn’t really right.

It says the settings are incorrect and wants me to update settings.

I took out the override and nothing different happens. It still tells me the settings are not correct. It’s really strange because I can browse of the host and choose the correct domain and directory, but still can’t publish.

I was looking at the wrong general setting. Found the correct one and now it’s working. What a relief. Thank you to everyone.
