Could somebody please help with this?
I forced what I think is called a "canonical url redirect" with the plugin wp-htaccess-control, from non-WWW to WWW, and now I can't access my site! Yikes!
It clearly doesn't want the WWW forced in front of the domain name, so could someone please let me know how to change it back?
I can access a unix shell if I need to do any mods in there.
Thanks very much in advance.
Paul.
FTP into your site (or use whatever file management application your host provides) and delete the wp-htaccess-control folder in wp-content/plugins.

Thank-you for your suggestion, but it did not work, unless I also need to restart the server. That would be a first.
I'm guessing that wp-htaccess-control has done the change somewhere in apache - I can't see any changes in .htaccess - but I'm an apache noob, so have no idea what to do there.
Any other suggestions?
Cheers!

Ok peeps, I've fixed this. Here's the solution if someone else hits the same problem.
Thanks to the screenshot in the plugin directory for wp-htaccess-control, I discovered that all that had been changed were the home and site url's - thankfully it wasn't anything more cryptic. I changed them back with phpmyadmin as suggested flawlessly here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL
Cheers,
Paul.
