    Hi all,

    I accidentally made a mistake on editing General Settings;
    WordPress Address (URL)
    and
    Site Address (URL)

    resulting in the website unable to display properly on browser. Nor I can login to fix the mistake.

    Please advise which file on “File Manager” of cPanel I need to check and correct the mistake?

    Thanks in advance

    Regards

  • To correct your settings you must use phpmyadmin and update the wp_options table. Here is a link that gives an example to update the two settings – https://www.ostraining.com/blog/wordpress/site-url-and-home-url-wordpress/

    Click on Databases and look for your database name. It could be anything. To know for sure, go to File Manager and view the wp-config.php file. It contains the name of your database. Once you have the db name then proceed using phpmyadmin.

    Hi Tim

    On File Manager

    /** The name of the database for WordPress */
define( 'DB_NAME', 'i4590666_wp39' );

On phpMyAdmin again
i4590666_wp39

siteurl
https://192.185.66.91%20childhood.satimis.com
change it to;
https://childhood.satimis.com
save -> go

Again
home
https://192.185.66.91%20childhood.satimis.com
change it to;
https://childhood.satimis.com
save -> go

Now the website is working again.  Lot of thanks for your help.
