Problem solved now but I ended up starting a new WP site from scratch, installing Enfold and then attaching the database from the previous hosting (modified with wp migrate db) . All worked but don’t know what was missing before. Sorry to waste peoples time.

Many thanks for the advice to use wp migrate db.
Something that a lot of users of this plugin have encountered is knowing what the “New file path” is (we all know the domain url!)
A clever but obvious suggestion is to install the plugin on both sites because it interrogates the “current file path”
Thanks again
