changed site URL and blog is down

The page you linked to has the only solutions to correct your mistake.

Okay, thanks esmi. I edited the functions.php file of my theme via Filezilla and inserted the following two lines directly after the opening “<?php” line:

update_option(‘siteurl’,’https://whiteeagleaerospace.com/blog&#8217;);
update_option(‘home’,’https://whiteeagleaerospace.com/blog&#8217;);

Prior to my disastrous URL change, the home and site URLs were listed as www.whiteeagleaerospace.com/blog. I tried adding the www in there as well, but neither one worked. Do you see anything I am doing wrong?

I am most definitely not a designer, but our design company was unable to complete the blog installation so I’ve been trying to learn and complete things myself.

I was initially trying to install the WordPress SEO plug-in by Yoast and changed the URL while following his directions here, not knowing what chaos was about to ensue! It was either the plug-in, or my URL change that caused this predicament – and I’m not sure what to do..

Looks like you have a conflict somewhere in your install as I am getting blank pages

blank pages are often caused by plugin or theme function conflicts, so if you have access to your admin panel, try deactivating all plugins. If you don’t have access to your admin panel, try manually resetting your plugins, using ftp rename plugins folder to plugins_hold and create a blank plugins folder If that resolves the issue, delete blank plugins folder and rename original back to plugins reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

If that does not resolve the issue, try switching default theme (WordPress 3.0 and higher) to rule-out a theme-specific issue. If you don’t have access to your admin panel, access your server via FTP or SFTP, navigate to /wp-content/themes/ and rename the directory of your currently active theme. This will force the Default theme Twenty Ten theme (WordPress 3.0 and higher) to activate and hopefully rule-out a theme-specific issue.

If that does not resolve the issue, it’s possible that a .htaccess rule could be the source of the problem. To check for this, access your server via FTP or SFTP and rename the .htaccess file. If you can’t find a .htaccess file, make sure that you have set your FTP or SFTP client to view invisible files.

If you weren’t able to resolve the issue by either resetting your plugins and theme or renaming your .htaccess file, we may be able to help, but we’ll need a more detailed error message. Internal server errors are usually described in more detail in the server error log.

If you have access to your server error log, generate the error again, note the date and time, then immediately check your server error log for any errors that occurred during that time period. If you don’t have access to your server error log, ask your hosting provider to look for you.

Wow, thank you so much for your thorough response govpatel.

I renamed the plugins folder to plugins.hold, however the white screen of death was still appearing. I then manually deleted the most recently installed plugin via ftp – however I am still getting the white screen.

Deleting the plugin did not do the trick, nor did editing my functions.php file with the above mentioned code. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Alternatively, does anyone know where I might be able to locate a trustworthy wordpress designer/consultant who would be able to solve this problem for us?

if you use skype you can add me as contact govindjip

Esmi – Thank you so much, I have found a wordpress designer to help.
Nasir Zia – Thank you as well for your time and help. I had tried that fix yesterday, to no avail, so I’m sure I was doing something wrong.

WordPress is not for the novice, this much I have learned! Thanks to everyone for your awesome help ??
