    So I accidentally deleted my homepage at johnrosevideography.com. In trying to get it back, for some reason, I changed the home page and the WordPress site to /home-2, and now this has messed it up so that I can’t properly log in via the wp-login.php. The page is still cached so it looks like I can save it, but I have no idea how to get back in there now. Please tell me I don’t have to delete WordPress from GoDaddy and reinstall and recreate the entire site again. 🙁

    Nope, you just need the most recent backup and upload it back.

    This is a simple fix with built-in WordPress functionality. There is no need to use your backups.

    Edit the wp-config.php file. You can use any plain text editor like Notepad. Add the following line:
    define('RELOCATE',true);

    Then just go to your login page. WordPress will automatically reset the location based on where you logged in.

    Be sure to remove the line after checking the settings to make sure everything is set correctly.

    Let us know how that works out.

    Oh thank you! The wp-config did it. As for the most recent backup, where would I find that?

    Also, now all my other pages are no longer working.

    Sorry for the constant posts. I got the home page back up and working. However, now any of my other pages is now displaying a 500 Internal Server Error.

    Problem fixed. It was simply a matter of rewriting the .htaccess file via GoDaddy’s FTP
