Thanks - tried both and it did not work.
But here is a workaround that did. I exported the site to a zip file then imported it back in as a new site2. I accidentally tried the original site and Safari found it!!! So I deleted site2 and am back working. I am 95% done with the site and can’t wait to publish it online.
