    At the bottom of every page is this:

    update_option('siteurl','http://jacquisouthphotography.com/wordpress'); update_option('home','http://jacquisouthphotography.com');

    Background: I created a new website in http://www.jacquisouthphotography.com/wordpress. When it was ready to replace my existing site, on the General Settings, I changed the site address to http://www.jacquisouthphotography.com.

    I got the 404 error message, page not found. I was completely shut out from the wordpress site. I could not log in at all. I went to the host (godaddy) and they told me it may be a problem with my database user id/password. So made sure the database name, user name and password were correct. I was then able to access the wordpress site, but it was an old version. All the updates I had done were lost. I have now made many of the updates again, but there is a line at the bottom of each page that says the above.
    How do I get rid of that line at the bottom of each page?

  2. You must have added that somewhere in there...

    Check your functions.php in your theme folder, but also your wp-config.php file.

    I checked but didn't find that code in any of the documents. Still trying to get rid of that code...

    Right now the wordpress site is in a separate folder on my site.
    Existing site: jacquisouthphotography.com
    wordpress site: jacquisouthphotography.com/wordpress

    When I figure out the above problem, and am ready to replace the old site with the wordpress site, do I change the WordPress address (URL) or the Site Address (URL) on the General settings page? If so, what do I change? Or am I supposed to edit something in the wp_config.php or functions.php documents? I have not found instructions that I can understand on the forum. I am not a programmer, and only worked with html and css before.

    This is what messed up things for me before, so I want to make sure I do the right thing. Thanks.
