    I changed the URL of the website in the Options -> General section of Word Press and made a typo. Now, anytime I try to post something or change something (example: the URL of the website), I recieve this error:

    Sorry, you need to enable sending referrers for this feature to work.

    Can someone tell me how to fix this?

    Yes, I read the link it gives you on Enabling Sending Referrers. One of the problems it lists is that the siteurl could be wrong, which is my case. It does not, however, tell you how to fix this.

    I wish I had phpMyAdmin. I wouldn’t have had to ask for help ??

    Sadly, the people that host our site don’t have it installed. And, apparently, they aren’t going to. It’s not a big deal, as this is the only thing we use MySQL for.

    Does anyone know the correct syntax to do this at mysql>?

    Do this:

    update wp_options set option_value='NEW_VALUE' where option_name='siteurl';
    update wp_options set option_value='NEW_VALUE' where option_name='home';

    When I enter exactly what you’ve written, I receive the following error:

    ERROR 1046 (3D000): No database selected

    Shouldn’t there be something that tells it I need to do this in the wordpress database?

    Duh. Forgot to ‘use dbname’.

    So, if anyone makes the mistake I did:

    mysql> use enter_your_db_name;

    mysql> update wp_options set option_value=’NEW_VALUE’ where option_name=’siteurl’;

    mysql> update wp_options set option_value=’NEW_VALUE’ where option_name=’home’;

    Thanks a lot for the help, pizdin_dim!
