Changed WordPress/Site Addresses, Now Can't Access

  • I am managing a site for an employer in WordPress. My goal was to change the URL address for my site.

    In “General Settings” I changed the WordPress Address and Site Address. Now I cannot access my site, nor am I even able to log into WordPress under that name. I created a new account simply to post this.

    The site is https://www.redesign2012.agourakarate.com. I tried to change it to https://www.agourakarate2012.com. Neither login is working.

    I do not have WordPress installed on my computer and thus cannot access any databases.

    What can I do to recover access? Thank you for your time.

  • Add this to your wp-config.php file for main domain (after discussing with your webhost this issue)

    define('WP_HOME','https://www.agourakarate2012.com/');
define('WP_SITEURL','https://www.agourakarate2012.com/');

    I do not have a wp-config.php file. I have been editing the site STRICTLY via my web browser, logging on directly at https://www.redesign2012.agourakarate.com. WordPress is NOT installed on my computer.

    What other options do I have?

    Using an FTP client such as FileZilla or your host provided File Manager, download the wp-config.php file and edit it in a plain text editor only, then upload back. You do not need to install WordPress on a local computer to perform these common tasks.

    Thank you for your response. I would appreciate if you could please explain it in layman’s terms – I do not know what an FTP client is or how to access my host provided File Manager. I am not experienced in this area and know little in terms of the technical side.

    Thank you.
