Locked out of WP-Admin and other issues
-
Yep. This Sucks. And I feel like a complete idiot now.
Years ago, I had a WordPress site on my host. I’ve since switched host and moved back to a simple html site due to lack of time. I’ve since added my WordPress to the new host. All seemed well. I then decided to update my site with social media plugins and SEO info. Should be easy; right? After all, I’ve done it years ago without issue. NOPE. Everything is wrong.Apparently, my site was still a WordPress.com (sespider.wordpress.com) setup. No biggie. I installed the www.remarpro.com files after backing up the .com version. But the host (Ipower) decided to create a new re-direct folder in the core section of the account and install it there instead. Also, no biggie. I moved the files to the correct folder, created a htaccess file in the redirect folder to point to the correct location. Easy Cheesy. And it seemed to be working. But it wasn’t.
None of my updates were taking effect. I cleared the cache in three different browsers and tried 3 different devices. The site was simply not updating. My host (Ipower) has been no help. When I’m in my WordPress Dashboard, I see the changes to the pages/sections of the site. When I click the “View Page” the menu and page updates are there. BUT, when I attempt to edit with Live View, the Live View is not updating at all. So at this point, I’m n0w thinking the URL is pointing to the WordPress.com version instead of the www.remarpro.com files. I check my domain and it is pointing to the correct location.
It’s at this point I get heavily frustrated, annoyed, tired, and despite. Ignoring the fact I’ve not used WordPress in years, my genius self decides to adjust the WordPress link in the General Settings of WP-Admin. And now I can not even access my Dashboard. AND my site is still not updated!
Now, every time I attempt to go to log into my WP Dashboard, it redirects to this:
https://www.sespiderproductions.com/wordpress/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fsespiderproductions.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1Which consist of a 404 error in the tab’s title and the following text as a page:
“Skip to Content”
And below that is the www.remarpro.com site but only showing up as jumbled mess. As if it’s missing important coding. All without images and structure.
The “Skip to content” element is a link that goes to:
https://www.sespiderproductions.com/wordpress/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fsespiderproductions.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1#contentThe only semi bright side of all this is that the sespider.wordpress.com is still visible and my domain is still pointing to that internally…somewhere. Because it sure isn’t pointing to it on under my Host’s Cpanel Domain settings.
I am at a complete lost here. I can not figure out how to fix the WP-admin issue nor can I figure out how to get the WordPress.com site from showing up instead of the www.remarpro.com version.

Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

I used Window’s Game DVR o record the screen. Sadly, it did not record the Notepad I was typing in, nor the sub menues. Here’s is the Notepad message:
‘There should be a menu listing and a page section that reads: “Social Feeds”.
As you can see the URL and the WordPress.com versions are the same. But they shouldn’t be. The URL should be on www.remarpro.com.’- This topic was modified 6 years, 7 months ago by . Reason: spelling errors located
