    I think I have accidently input the wrong web URL for my website when I was setting up my wordpress site. Or is it normal to have a . after the http://www.photographicmemory.com.au
    e.g. http://www.photographicmemory.com.au.
    I think this extra . is causing my Welcome page to load but not the image gallery on it. If I click on my About page, it opens with that extra . in the address bar and then if I click back to the Welcome page, the page opens up with the image gallery, but I can see that extra . in the address bar

    Is there a way I can fix it so that there is no extra . in any of my pages URL adresses or do I need to rebuild the whole site?

    If you can get to the wp-admin the url is in the general settings. If you can’t get to the admin, its in wp_options table in the database: option_name=’siteurl’.

    Thank you Peter. Yes, I can get to the admin and I can see the settings WordPress Address URL and Site Address URL and both have that extra . at the end Could you tell me if I should change both and remove the . I don’t know a lot about how it all works but I was concerned that each of the pages show this extra . now and if it affects google analytics etc. My web address doesn’t have the last . and so when people type it in, they get my site minus the gallery images. Looks bad. Yet with that . it all appears normal. I don’t know if I put it there by error or if the template I am using put it there but basically I just want people to be able to type in my web address and get the page including the images to load. Any clues?

    thank you for your help. You are correct, I didn’t pay enough attention at the time and that pesty . caused the issues. I contacted the support team at Photocrati and they have resolved this issue for me. All is well now and I thank you for your response.
