More successes, many thanks.
I looked up in the Community Forum and found a page that solved it. I added <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors','on'); ?> which told me the unique ID was validating through old MySQL and the wavt_scripts_php.php were old as well. Created a new page update to force the installation of the new scripts ad changed the connections to MySQLi in the validations.
