   I've already tried this. Didn't help.

   When I go to the online version, I get a blank page that keeps loading, and eventually putting :8888 after the url (www.domain.com:8888/). When I try to acces the wp-admin, I get redirected to my localhost (http://localhost:8888/)?

   I can't believe it! What is that?

   Ok, I locally changed the url of the website and blog in the settings-page of the admin. Now I can't access my local admin, it doesn't recognize my password.

   ... great.

   Fantastic, after even changing the pw manually in phpmyadmin (md5), I STILL can't access, locally nor online.

   Moreover: it makes this strange kind of url: http://www.domain.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8888%2Fdomain%2Fwp-admin%2F

   How crazy is that? Does this mean I lost, hold on, EVERYTHING?

   OK, luckily I've made a healthy back up before I uploaded everything.

   I opened the SQL-file and find/replaced all the localhost-parts to http://www.domain.com.

   Now everything seems to work. Don't have a back-up? Bad news, unless you can still modify it in the online phpmyadmin.

   I suppose I shouldn't have put the localhost-address in the settings page (as website and blog-url) while the site was still local back then, although that makes sense in a way.

   Thanks Innyvinny. That video also fixed a different but similar issue for me. I actually needed to change that value in the settings page from "localhost" to the actual url. That video also gave the information I needed in case I messed up typing in the correct url, which thankfully I did not do.

   If anyone else is curious why I needed to do that, it's because my wordpress site was not loading on any other computer other than the web server.
