I changed the address for my wordpress in settings and now everything is jacked up, it wont let me access the site at all.
I'm assuming you can somehow edit it in php file and fix it. any ideas where this would be stored?

This information is stored in your database. The setting are in the options table, but I strongly recommend backing up your database first, and treading lightly if you choose to edit your database...

Posted 3 years ago #aha, well I found one of the tables that it was in, but changed it and it didn't fix it.
wp_options is the table I edited. still doing something weird.
I have my site masked to http://www.wetheunheard.com and it forwards via a frame to http://www.omgitsawiki.com/wetheunheard, and in preferences I had set it go to http://www.wetheunheard.com but then everything got messed up.
so, i changed it in the database, and now it goes to http://www.wetheunheard.com/wetheunheard.
not really sure whats going on :(

there are 2 entries within the options table that need to be edited when and if thats changed. this IS covered in the documentation.

I think that the frame forwarding is not playing nice with however you have WordPress set up.
I would suggest disabling the frame forwarding for now and work on getting WordPress to work in it's actual location, and then worry about getting the other domain name to work. But of course the easiest way to do it would be to have your install of wordpress on the same domain name that you want it to appear at in the end...

Ah, sorry, I should have specified that you need to change both.
