I am getting ‘Failed to synchronise databases’ in add/remove software and am also getting ‘Failed to clone ___ build files’ for everything too. Everything where new things are downloaded e.g. downloading widgets, wallpapers and wallpaper plugins is not working. It seems my system has no internet access but browsers and things like discord/vivaldi do.

Althought there seems to be something with the wifi too, If your webbrowser works, you do have some internet. Start by trying to refresh the mirrors.
sudo pacman-mirrors --continent
Hi @elestor and welcome to the Manjaro community.
Sorry, but this makes little sense. Your comment suggests your system does indeed have Internet access.
What you seem to be describing is a failure to perform an update, in which case, refreshing the mirrors might help. It’s also possible that the mirrors/repo’s were not yet in sync when you attempted an update.
Either way, try this command combination:
sudo pacman-mirrors --fasttrack 5 && sudo pacman -Syu && pamac update --force-refresh
These links will be handy to bookmark:
Cheers.

Hello!
I think the /etc/pamac.conf.pacnew file is causing the problem.
This should be properly edited.
Or rename it - so that the system takes into account the original pamac.conf file.
(Similarly, but I edited it several times - successfully!)
Be very careful with your wording…
The pacman.conf.pacnew file (if it exists) should not be edited. Instead it should be (very carefully) merged with the pamac.conf file. This applies to all .pacnew files; they should be merged with (or sometimes replace) their in situ counterparts. Cheers.
The system only ever “takes into account” one file:
the one without the .pacnew suffix
the original one - the one ending in .conf
Most modern browsers use their own, inbuilt DNS settings rather than the DNS of the system they are running on. For example, Vivaldi uses Google DNS (8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4):
Privacy and Security Settings | Vivaldi Browser Help
The Google DNS server addresses (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) have been hardcoded into Chromium, on which Vivaldi is built. The setting is enabled by default, but can be disabled in Settings > Privacy and Security.
So, if various browsers with inbuilt DNS can connect to the Internet, but applications which use your system’s DNS cannot, then you most likely have either an issue with your system’s DNS settings, or (less likely) your router’s DNS settings.
