    Go into your mysql database and go to the options table, change the siteurl option (it’s probably the first option there) back to what it should be.

    I already did that–it doesn’t help.

    Use ftp and go to your wp-header.php

    It should read

    <?php
    /* Short and sweet */
    define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);
    require('.blog/wp-blog-header.php');
    ?>

    If not change and save. Now it will be looking for wp-blog=header.php in yoursite.com/blog/

    I can’t seem to find my wp-header.php

    All I see is wp-blog-header.php

    Sorry, getting ahead on myself. Go to index.php. Change as above. Now it will be looking for wp-blog/header.php in yoursite.com/blog/

    Ok, I looked at my index.php and that’s where the:

    <?php
    /* Short and sweet */
    define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
    require(‘.blog/wp-blog-header.php’);
    ?>

    code is. But it still didn’t help.

    Should I change something in wp-blog-header.php?

    Go back to your database. As Nightgunner5 said, this is where to fix it. See what your db says in “wp_options”. Click on edit. Change it to read http://www.lolapie.com/blog. Make sure the save button is checked and click on go. You should confirm here that the change was saved correctly.

    Back out of the db. Wait a couple of minutes and try to get to your website.
