   Hi guys,

   A friend has had some confusion about the URL of her blog: after writing a post it wouldn't appear so she changed the blog URL settings which has well and truly borked it.

   In her own words:

   I'd managed to make a few static pages, called philippajacks.co.uk/about and philippajacks.co.uk/greenspaced (Greenspaced is my blog itself). Then i wrote my first blog post and 'published' it but it wasn't appearing anywhere on my site.

   I went into 'Settings' on my dashboard and fiddled about with the URL for wordpress, and the URL for my blog, but still couldn't see the blog appearing anywhere.

   Then it went mental, wouldn't show any of my site at all, and won't even let me log into Wordpress Admin now either.

   On the front-end, it can no longer find the theme, and when I attempted to login, that's when the Internal Server Error occurs.

   I've FTP'd in to look for a rogue .htaccess file, it didn't exist so I created a blank new one but to no avail.

   Any ideas?

   Cheers.

   Thanks..neither the Quick-fix or Relocate method worked though, perhaps there's more to it than the URL?

   I also tried changing it directly in PHPMyAdmin, but I couldn't find an Edit Field option

   there must be a bad .htaccess then
   is your ftp client set to "show hidden files"?

   Filezilla is set to "Force showing hidden files", but I cannot spot an .htaccess file in there..
