Support » Fixing WordPress » Locked out

  • Major really silly OOPS.
    I changed my details http://www.subtlessence.com to aaawww.subtlessnece to keep it off line while I worked on it (to unpublished till ready). Well, this has locked me out. I have gone back to change it to the correct address and saved but, I am still locked out.

    How do get back?
    Ta muchly

    Ok, first off, back everything up that you can, in the best possible way that you can.

    Do you have phpmyadmin access?

    If you do, go to your database and find the table ‘wp_options’. Line 1 is siteurl change that to http://aaawww.subtlessence.com (make sure your spelling is correct and include the ‘http://’.

    Also change the URL in ‘home’ (further down the same table).

    You will also need to setup a CNAME with your DNS provider pointing ‘aaawww’ to your host.

    I hope that helps. You should be able to log in again after that.

    Thanks joesell89.
    I do not know of ‘phpmyadmin access’. What is it and where do I get it?

    Hi again joesell89.
    I have just searched and found it in Codex. Will read through and follow your instructions.
    Appreciate your advice.

    Who is your host?

    Perhaps your host support can tell you where you can access your WordPress database.

    Try editing the wp-config directly:

    Make those the REAL URL. And next time don’t change WP like that 🙂 If you change the URLs you really do take it all offline! 😀
