Did something really stupid… changed address in Admin Settings
-
I did something really stupid and now I am totally blocked. Tried to find the answers through the forum but so far no luck.
I went into the Admin / Settings panel and by accident I changed the url of my site from the https://localhost:8888…. (don’t remember exactly what the default was after setting it up through MAMP). I input the url of my domain name.
When I clicked on my bookmarked admin page, I got the message:
We were able to connect to the database server (which means your username and password is okay) but not able to select the database.I tried two things to resolve the issue but neither (nor the combination of both of them) worked:
1. Opened the wp_config.php file and renamed the database from the domain name to database name. That didn’t work so I tried a combination of the wordpress/databasename – still didn’t work. Then tried to change it to https://localhost:8888/wordpress – still didn’t work.
2. Went into MyPhp, selected the database, browsed the Options and then changed the site URL from the domain name to the https://localhost:8888/wordpress/databasename – still did not workPlease please please someone help me on this one. I really don’t want to start fresh again on my site. I obviously did not make a back-up before doing this stupid mistake.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
