   I was just messing with the settings in the admin and changed my URL from runningbums.com to runningbums.com/test because I thought it would hide my site while I update stuff and don't want it public.

   Now I can't log into my admin to change it back!!! :(((

   I've tried runningbums.com/wp-admin, runningbums.com/test/wp-admin ... etc.

   and it just goes to my broken site.

   How do I get back to admin so I can change back my URL?????

   Try placing:
   <?php update_option('siteurl','http://www.runningbums.com'; ?>
   in your theme's functions.php.

   you should be able to access functions.php from your hosts ftp server. Download this and edit as alkafy suggests.

   Okay, it looks like I can access functions.php from Bluehost and FileZilla.

   But in functions.php I don't see any text relating to the siteURL.

   I was expecting to see something like 'http://www.runningbums.com/test';

   and I could just remove the "test" part. But I don't see this.

   Or where do I place this text?
   <?php update_option('siteurl','http://www.runningbums.com'; ?>

   (I'm using the atahualpa theme, maybe this helps)

   Thanks for all for your help!! I am so torn up rightnow :(

   Ipstenu, do you know where the wp-config.php file is located? Is it under the theme folder or somewhere else? thanks.

   I GOT IT!!

   (never mind about the wp-config.php file)

   I just put it in Functions.php like Alkafy and Ipstenu said.

   wp-config is (for later reference) in your 'root' wordpress directory.

   You know /public_html/wordpress/wp-content/themes/themename/functions.php right?

   So go backwards to /public_html/wordpress/ and there's your wp-config.php file :)

   Adjust as needed by your server setup.

    Thank you guys. I had the same problem with my site at http://www.menumonk.com where I changed both WordPress address (URL) Blog address (URL). Now I know to just change the Blog address URL since I'm having to forward it with masking.
