Cannot Access WP-Admin

Did you try to move this site?

@esmi Hi – I did not try to move the site. It became inaccessible, I believe, after updating these 2 settings in the General > Settings section.

If you changed either (or both) of those urls, that’s asking to trying (and failing) to move the site. Change the urls back. See Changing_The_Site_URL for details of how to do this correctly without logging in.

I appreciate your quick responses.

I have tried modifying functions.php, wp-config.php, and wp-login.php per the troubleshooting guides without any luck.

I do not recall what the home and siteurl values were – I was trying to remove “wordpress” from the url – but at this point, “wordpress” has been added to the url on many occassions via the above modifications – I also have verified the values directly in the database.

This was the first time I tried to change these values, so is there a default value that WordPress starts with out of the box for home and siteurl? I assume that is the value I need.

I’m clearly missing something.

I do not recall what the home and siteurl values were

Where was WordPress originally installed on this domain?

File Manager shows:
Root Directory > httpdocs > wordpress
wp-admin, wp-content, index.php are all in this wordpress folder.

I hope that answers your question.

In the db, I have these values:
siteurl: https://howtoloselovehandles.org/wordpress
home: https://howtoloselovehandles.org

Previously, I was able to access wp-admin here:
https://howtoloselovehandles.org/wordpress/wp-admin

Thank you very much for your assistance.

with ftp delete from the plugin folder: “Login LockDown”

@yehudah That did it!! I don’t know how you knew I had that Login Lockdown plugin (I renamed it), but that must’ve been the source of the issue.

I now have access to my dashboard (minus the images for some reason)!

Thank you so much!

By the way, the img paths in the html was altered in all this whoopla – I was able to correct the filepath for each image to point to the correct folder.
