   my website, http://www.djpartybag.com/wp, is now a little bit screwed up
   I tried to change the url from: http:/www.djpartybag.com/wp
   to just plain http://www.djpartybag.com

   now my website looks very weird
   and when I try and hit the 'log in' link on the webpage, I am brought to a broken link

   Any help? And ideally, I would like to have my WP as just http://www.djpartybag.com without my website crashing: how do I achieve this?

   Thank you,
   Antwon

   sure, basically you set the url back to original. If you can't get into your general settings to do it, you do it in the database.

   Once you have it back to original, you follow the proper instructions. Everything is linked in that article.

   Ok so I got your link to work (chrome has issues today..)

   Which file must I edit to redirect it back to my original URL so I can log-in?

   Thanks!

   Thanks esmi, I found it but didn't read all the way down.

   Sorry for the confusion!

   One of our sites was down after I by mistake changed the General settings/Site URL. (to site.com/en - to show the English version of the site - I'm using a translation plugin to make the site two-lingual)
   The site still worked halfway (some plugin-dependent things didn't show) but it was impossible to log in.
   I tried the second trick in Esmi's link (above) but no luck.
   The problem was that I have all the WP files in a /wp sub-directory.
   Now, the solution was to add these lines to the theme's functions.php file - the wp. in the first line did the trick:
   

   update_option('siteurl','http://wp.mysite.com');
   update_option('home','http://www.mysite.com');

   Hope this can help someone on...
