stupid mistake in WordPress Address (URL)

  • I made a stupid mistake. In WordPress Address (URL) and in Site Address (URL) I changed https://localhost/site into the real url. Stupid, I know. How can I change it back? I can’t enter the WP backend anymore.

    It’s on my own pc, and I have full access to everything.

    I fixed it myself. Not difficult, once you know how to do it. For those making the same error:

    go to php myadmin > wp_options table, and change the entries manually.

    There are many ways to change the site URL.

    In your instance I would edit functions.php and add the following code:

    update_option( 'siteurl', 'https://example.com' );
update_option( 'home', 'https://example.com' );

    and replace example.com with your url. This will update the option and can be removed afterwards.
