    I have messed up pretty good. I was in my dashboard and I accidently changed my WordPress URL from my domain name address to one of my pages. Now I can’t get into my dashboard. When I try, only my page comes up without displaying any of the theme or anything. It is just text. Can anyone help me out? I can’t get back into the dashboard to even change it back. Any help at all is appreciated. Thank you!

    That’s the divine punishment for messing with things that you don’t understand. Never do that!

    Well, I didn’t realize it was something I didn’t understand and certainly didn’t expect not to be able to get into my dashboard. I have learned, that is for sure.

    Sanjaymenon, the link to the website is http://www.clubdeb.com Again, I much appreciate the help.

    He won’t be able to do anything even having your URL…
    Only you can fix it by reading the tutorial linked above and following it carefully!

    I am reading it, but I am not understanding it. My questions will show the novice I am but I am in too much of a bind to be proud so here goes….where do I log into the phpmyadmin. I am assuming on my server host but not seeing where that is.

    Yes, your assumption is correct.
    In the host’s admin panel there should be a link to it. Something like “Databases” or MySQL databases and maybe from there…

    Who is your host?

    Blue Host is my host. I found a phpmyadmin but it looks nothing like in the tutorial. It tells me to select a database but I see no database options. The only thing I see are a bunch of more things that I have no clue about.

    Don’t get lost in the colours… 🙂
    On the left there should be a dropdown menu with the name of the databases – most likely you have only one, where your blog is.
    Click on that one.
    Then find the wp_options table… etc.

    I found it. I am up to the point where I change the information in the option value field. You say not to leave a slash on the address…this means to have only http://www.clubdeb.com and then stop it there, correct? Just want to double check before I make the change.

    Great! I am glad you made it; I knew you would.
    Yes, just the domain exactly as you posted above, no slash.
    On both rows: “site_url” and “home”.
    The “home”, usually, is on the second page, click on that > to move.

    It worked!!! It’s back! Thank you so much for taking the time to walk me through the steps. Once I found it in Blue Host everything was exactly like your tutorial…very clear instructions…thank you so much for sending me that! I really appreciate the help. Thanks again. Hope you have a good night. 🙂
