After changing site url/adress url can’t get it back cause of redirection

  • So I switched both site and home url, wanted to see if it worked, but then since they don’t load I can’t revert back, only setting the old values in wp-config works, but I want a definitive solution since I cant change the values to the old ones with this fix (they are greyed out), tried checking with phpmyadmin -> options (values are the old ones). Right now I can only tell theres a redirection in place, so maybe disable all redirections header and set the value as it was before, if yes how can I prevent redirections from taking place?

  • Currently the page redirects to your domain with www subdomain. However, this does not exist in the DNS. The simplest solution would be to create this subdomain in the settings of your domain. You should then be able to access the website again as it would then be accessible via the www subdomain.

    I ‘d prefer a WordPress only way of fixing it, but yes that’s a solution, still I wonder were is this redirection stored that’s what bugs me..

    If you have installed any SEO or redirect management plugins, they could also be causing a redirect in case a redirect was added from old to new URL for some reason.

    And if your hosting has object caching, you should purge object cache and see if that fixes the problem.

    If that doesn’t work, I would suggest making your website accessible first. You are using Cloudflare, just log in to your CF account, go to DNS and add a CNAME record for www with difusion.otzerling.com. as the value. You can then access the WP backend, use a plugin like Search Regex and search for https://www.difusion.otzerling.com/ in the DB.

    Ok thank you!! it is vanilla installation so no plugins yet.

    I did try this in the one editor of the hosting

    www.difusion.otzerling.com. 	14400 	CNAME 	
difusion.otzerling.com

    But I will try again this time in the dns of Cloudflare

    Update: Im getting this hostname is not covered by a certificate

    Easier fix perhaps just reinstall WordPress, but I wanted to redirect from difusion.otzerling.com to https://www.difusion.otzerling.com thats why I tried the changes in site url & address url

    Oj theres as well otzerling.com this in additional subdomain..
