Changed domain name. Locked out. Read Codex. Doesn't help.

  • Hello,

    I changed the domain name in settings from https://www.interiorpassage.com/blog by deleting the “blog” from the address, and now I can’t log in to my site’s admin panel to change it back. I just get the basic screen with no style. I know this is a common problem and I have read many past answers, watched video tutorials, read the Codex, but I really do not understand anything.

    I’ve had a WordPress blog since 2009. I just let it go along automatically. I don’t know php. I don’t pay for hosting. I know NOTHING about who my host is for the blog (I thought it was www.remarpro.com?) I have no idea where those files actually are. I do not know how to get to them through an FTP file. I have never backed it up. I do not understand where or what cpanel is or how to get to it or use it. I do not understand what to do once I download myadmin (which is apparently the solution I should use). I can’t even get into the blog to see what version of WordPress I’m using. I can’t remember.

    I have NO IDEA how to even begin with any of this.

    Can anyone help?

    Erin

    I figured out that I want to be on wordpress.com, but when I created the blog back in 2009 I did it in www.remarpro.com because I didn’t know any better. I think?? I will go over to wordpress.com and see if anyone can help me there.

    Erin,

    It looks like the domain name is registered with WebsitePalace.com so perhaps you could try contacting them or logging into their site.

    Thank you, cdcampbell. That is a great idea.

    Back in 2008 I built a website from scratch in a text editor, and I purchased the domain name/hosting service from Website Palace. But I didn’t know how to write code for a blog, so I used wordpress for that, and linked my site to them. I assumed wordpress was hosting the blog and Website Palace was hosting the regular site. But I don’t know much! I’ll call them.

    I’m going back to school soon to learn the technology I know so little about …

    My pleasure to help out a fellow North Carolinian ??

    Yeah that would be a good place to start; WordPress.com is the hosted version of WordPress while www.remarpro.com is self-hosted (as you’ve discovered).

    Good luck and let us know if you need any more help!
