[How do I get this question re-opened?][1]

A moderator has closed this question citing it as an exact duplicate, but its clear that any of the answers on the original question do not specifically answer the question I asked.

I have updated the question with an answer as the method I took to resolve is issue was not prescribed in another answer and it worked.
