Critical mistake? (4 posts)

    Ok, maybe I did a critical mistake, but under "General Settings" I changed the url for the WordPress address (URL). Now, obviously I cannot get back to my dashboard (get a Ooops! Page not found) to change it back to what it was originally.

    Am I completely up the creek without a paddle?

    Not at all, but if you can't navigate directly to:
    http://yoursite.com/WordPressInstallDirectory/wp-admin/options-general.php

    Then you will probably have to edit the database manually.

    If your webhost gives you access to phpMyAdmin, you can use Steps 2 - 13 in this section of this article here:
