[resolved] I Screwed up my WordPress site. Help please (5 posts)

    Hey Guys,

    WordPress site: http://www.neorussell.com

    I have hosting for my other site http://www.soulcalibur.ca
    I am using soulcalibur.ca's hosting to host my wordpress blog.
    so the actual address is http://www.soulcalibur.ca/neorussell
    I was doing a domain forwarding so that when somebody puts in http://www.neorussell.com, it forwards to http://www.soulcalibur.ca/neorussell

    ---
    I was doing some spring clearing i happen to see an option to change the address to from http://www.soulcalibur.ca/neorussell to whatever I want.
    I changed that information to http://www.neorussell.com since I don't want people to notice I am just forwarding.
    I know I shouldn't have touched anything in there.
    Sorry for my stupidness.

    I can't get into the admin anymore.
    I get this error:
    403 Forbidden

    nginx/0.7.6

    ----
    I think the problem was that there was an option that allowed me to change the actual host http://www.soulcalibur.ca/neorussell to whatever i want as stated in that page. Here I am thinking, i don't want them to see that address. I then changed the address to http://www.neorussell.com
    Now my blog is shot. I think I changed the hosting where the site is being hosted and that is whats causing the error.

    How do I fix that error I did?
    I know if I just put back the original hosting address, it will fix everything but I cannot get into that page anymore.

    I'm stuck in this login page.
    I used the same login information to login and nothing.
    I try to send the password to myself and nothing as well.
    I keep getting that error.

    Any help. Thanks for anybody who responds.

    Try using a method from here to put it back to how it was previously:

    Consider using phpMyAdmin to make sure your wp_options table has the correct values in siteurl and home.

    siteurl is your WordPress address (URL) and home is your Blog Address (URL).

    And, some other info:

    Also review alism's recommendation if you decide to change URLs.

    Thanks guys, I tried the FTP version where you have to play around with the functions.php

    Everything seems to be working now.
