Cannot access admin panel after changing site url

  • After changing the siteurl within the admin panel in wordpress, the site went down and now I get a 500 error when attempting access the site as well as admin. Since researching my issue in the forums, I’ve changed the site url back to the original https://laurenkdesign.com/wordpress in the wp_options through myPHPadmin on goDaddy but I am still unable to get it back up.

    Can anyone provide additional support?

    Thanks for the advice Tara, but still no luck after updating the wp-config.php and functions.php files.

    no luck after updating the wp-config.php and functions.php files.

    Those are two different methods.

    Try one method at a time. that is eiher wp-config.php method or functions.php method

    Sorry, I didn’t phrase that correctly. I tried each method separately and both attempts did not fix the problem..

    Setting the site URL manually in wp-config.php (with the values below) did not give you access? If not, does your error message change?

    define('WP_HOME','https://laurenkdesign.com/wordpress/');
define('WP_SITEURL','https://laurenkdesign.com/wordpress/');

    Do you have access to databse in MySql?

    If you do and if you feel comfertable doing it check your Data Base -> wp_options (table) -> ‘siteurl’ and ‘home'(entries) and manually change change for your current site URL.

    More instructions are in the same codex I linked before.

    BTW, if you haven’t already done, always backup everything (including your database) before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong. It’s a great safety net.
