    I had a WordPress blog contained in a Blog folder and I wanted to move it to route so I followed the procedure of changing this through the dashboard but I have some how screwed it up. Cant even log into the dashboard to change it back. Have only changed

    https://www.woodlarks.org.uk/Blog/

    to https://www.woodlarks.org.uk/
    in dashboard and edited one line in index.php

    I work for a charity and I appear to have lost lots of posts. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    James

    Thanks for your help I did look for a solution but didnt find that page so much appreciated. Following those instructions has brought the site and content back up but I cant log into the control panel as a precaution I have backed up the database files.

    Regards
