    Hello!

    I am currently using WP 2.9.1 on my blog http://www.MarinParkour.com and am having some serious issues with my permalinks. I've found discouraging and unhappy responses to people with similar issues when trolling for webhelp... but I've not found someone with my issue exactly.

    Please bare with me, I'm kind of new to this.

    I went into the general tap for my blog and found myself examining my permalinks... not wholly understanding what they are I thought to change them to make them more asthetically pleasing. So I changed my blogs permalink (the main one) from http://www.marinparkour.com to http://www.marinpk.com thinking that if there was an issue I could easily fix it. I seem to be horribly, horribly wrong.

    As of now I can no longer access the admin page, or any of the subpages including any "return to default" like options.

    Please feel free to email with tips or suggestions.

    odjake@gmail.com

    Thanks!

    I essentially want to know if there is an "undo" without having a backup (I have no idea why I hadn't backed up yet.)

    Ok, don't panic. :-)

    Read this carefully, then just pick one of the options to change it back to how it was before.

    This is telling me to edit the wp-config.php file. I have no idea how to get to said file, any tips?

    Sweet, I used the last option. Edited it using phpMyAdmin. Totally simple, a lot easier than I had anticipated.

    Thanks for your help!
