   Hey Guys,

   Wordpress site: www.neorussell.com

   I have hosting for my other site www.soulcalibur.ca
   I am using soulcalibur.ca's hosting to host my wordpress blog.
   so the actual address is www.soulcalibur.ca/neorussell
   I was doing a domain forwarding so that when somebody puts in www.neorussell.com, it forwards to www.soulcalibur.ca/neorussell

   ---
   I was doing some spring clearing i happen to see an option to change the address to from www.soulcalibur.ca/neorussell to whatever I want.
   I changed that information to www.neorussell.com since I don't want people to notice I am just forwarding.
   I know I shouldn't have touched anything in there.
   Sorry for my stupidness.

   I can't get into the admin anymore.
   I get this error:
   403 Forbidden

   nginx/0.7.6

   ----
   I think the problem was that there was an option that allowed me to change the actual host www.soulcalibur.ca/neorussell to whatever i want as stated in that page. Here I am thinking, i don't want them to see that address. I then changed the address to http://www.neorussell.com
   Now my blog is shot. I think I changed the hosting where the site is being hosted and that is whats causing the error.

   How do I fix that error I did?
   I know if I just put back the original hosting address, it will fix everything but I cannot get into that page anymore.

   I'm stuck in this login page.
   I used the same login information to login and nothing.
   I try to send the password to myself and nothing as well.
   I keep getting that error.

   Any help. Thanks for anybody who responds.

   Try using a method from here to put it back to how it was previously:

   Consider using phpMyAdmin to make sure your wp_options table has the correct values in siteurl and home.

   siteurl is your WordPress address (URL) and home is your Blog Address (URL).

   And, some other info:

   Also review alism's recommendation if you decide to change URLs.

   Thanks guys, I tried the FTP version where you have to play around with the functions.php

   Everything seems to be working now.
