General Questions/New to Joomla! 4.x • Template breaks URLs

I'm doing final testing on a localhost copy of our website in preparation for the upgrade from J!3 to J!4. The localhost is running XAMPP, with PHP 8.2.4.

The upgrade to J!4.4.4 seems to have been successful, and the site runs with the default Cassiopeia template. However, if I change to the template we wish to use - tc_blp, a custom template built with Template Creator CK - the site fails, with a message "Invalid code 0 (probably an internal error)". It shows (in Quirks Mode) minimal content; within that, all the links from menu items are missing the sitename (blp) in the URL. For example, the Join Us page link is https://localhost/join-us; it should be https://localhost/blp/join-us. Developer tools reveals that most content has not loaded, for the same reason.

This behaviour occurs regardless of whether SEF Friendly URLs are set. SEF Friendly URLs work with the Cassiopeia template; however, they require the following entry in .htaccess:
RewriteBase /blp
That setting does not change the behaviour when the tc_blp template is active; the URLS are still broken.

Any suggestions gratefully received,

Rob
