   I have a problem, most of our sites have gone ti*s up, the reason for this is sometime this morning our web hosts have altered something, not sure what yet, they wont tell me. In the mean time can anyone help?

   All websites that have the problem were set up in the genral area as follows:

   Site address: actual domain name
   WordPress address: accountname.users62.donhost.co.uk/wp-login.php

   Its appears that anything at the wordpress address is no longer accessible, so this were I cant figure out what to do as yet.

   I was thinking to do the following but don't want to jump in in case I am wrong:

   1. Rename the copy in the exported database to the actual domain instead of the users62.donhost etc etc.

   2. Delete the old SQL DB and import the new above

   3. Login to wordpress and change the site & wordpress addresss to the actual domain.

   Any help would be great, I am not a developer so please be patient.

   URLs to images get saved in the DB with a hardcoded URL

   So, if you change the site url in settings (or as you did in the code), this doesn't affect the images

   Those all need manually changed in the DB,
   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-and-replace/

   Usually does a good job with that
