   I was in Dashboard - Settings - General and was just getting ready to make some changes, I inadvertently changed the WordPress Address (URL)

   from http://www.hatchtown.com/wp/

   to http://www.hatchtown.com

   I then saved the change, AND THEN realized I'd meant to change the Blog Address NOT the WordPress address

   I quickly re-set the AP addess back to include the /wp/ subdirectory, but it was too late. I can't get in, view the WP stite, or anything.

   Via my FTP program I can see that all the WP files, subdirectories, etc, are still there. How do I set this right?

   Help! My wife's gonna kill me!

   Thanks samboll! I learned a bunch by picking my way through the Codex articles you pointed me toward. And. I was eventually able to get WP running again. Quick story: I had had to re-do the password for the MYSql database at one point when trying to access it with PHPMyAdmin. Of course, that new password had to be updated in the WP files.

   Now! I'm back to wanting to take our WordPress website "live." I want to leave WP, that's all the WP files AND all the "blog" files, in the /wp/ subdirectory. But, when people come to www.hatchtown.com I want them to see the WP installation instead of the old www.hatchtown.com/index.html.

   don't forget to rename or delete the old index.html so wordpress' index.php can take over
