    Hi,
    I was changing the URL of my site from general settings. It did not work. So i changed the functions.php file to add new lines
    update_option(‘siteurl’,’https://test.ellabar.com’);
    update_option(‘home’,’https://test.ellabar.com’);

    This was the original site url. It worked and everything was working. Later by mistake i was browsing through general settings and i clicked save sue to habbit of saving everything before i leave the pages. Also the setting had correct url before i clicked save and now i cannot access my wordpress admin page. There is a white screen

    https://test.ellabar.com/wp-admin/

    The site is still running. I tried a lot of options. Changed the site and home url to test.ellabar.com from myphpadmin . I tried the wp-config.php file with the above url. there are no white spaces or blank lines before or after <?php …. ?>

    Can anyone help please. Thank you

    Well I dont know what happened now but the site is also not working

    See:

    You’ll need to use FTP or Cpanel to change those back – the functions.php file method is pretty easy to do.

    If the functions.php file is messed up, using FTP change the name on your active theme’s folder – which will force WP to use a default theme (twentyfifteen). Then use the same functions.php file method to change the site URL’s back in that twentyfifteen theme.

    #WPyogi This is what i did.
    I used Filezilla to change the name of functions.php file to wpfunctions.php in the active theme Restaurateur.
    Now the wordpress admin page is working and i can login and see the everything perfectly fine.
    I went to see which default theme i am having. I do not have twenty fifteen.
    I just realised im using wordpress 4.0 and not 4.0.1. Sorry for that mistake.
    There are other themes twenty twelve, twenty thirteen and twenty fourteen in my appearances but none of theme are active.
    And after all this the active theme is still shown as restauratuer.

    Now my question is what should i do now. Should i leave everything as it is as login page is working and site is also working fine. Or should i change the wpfunctions.php back to functions.php ?

    Ok this is very annoying. Once i log out the site disappeared. Please Help!!

    You can use twentyfourteen – which is what WP should default to when you rename your theme’s folder – not just the functions.php file.

    Oh right I did it now.
    Once i renamed the theme folder it went back to default theme twenty fourteen as you said. I added the urls in the functions.php of twenty fourteen.
    I logged out and logged back in. That’s all working and site also running with default theme.
    Now what can i do to go back to my restaurateur theme?

    I replaced the functions.php file with original file from the theme and it worked. Thank you for helping.
