Did you replace the entire database, or just that one table with the new port?
I just replaced that one table.
Yeah, you really hosed yourself. All the site’s settings are gone.
Edit wp-config.php so the site knows what its URLs are: https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#WP_SITEURL
That should let you get into WP. You’ll have to go through all the settings stuff carefully to create new settings in the database.
Going forward, install the plugin “backwpup” and set it to do automatic site backups at some regular interval.
Thank you for the prompt help! What code am I inserting into the file again?
define( ‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘http://example.com/wordpress’ );
This one?
It’s showing an x when I try to insert my the code with my website. Do I have to use the base http or https if I have an ssl certificate installed
Such as
define( ‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘https://femacourses.com/’ );
Is there a way to get in without editing the wp-config file? How do I add an admin to wp options?
No. You really messed up. You need to work through everything on the “settings” menu.
1. You’re using the wrong “prime” character. Do not copy/paste — type it in.
2. You put that *after* where it says “stop editing here”. You might rethink that.
define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'https://femacourses.com' );
define( 'WP_HOME', 'https://femacourses.com' );
without end slash.
you are not currently using the correct single quotes.
Then you have to change the keys as those must remain secret (one step at a time before setting the site and home url).
After your key.

Ok I’ve entered it correctly as it’s not showing ao syntax error, could you double check in the screenshot above?
Do I have to include wordpress? My site is installed directly at femacourses.com
you don’t have to include other folder at your https://example.domain.com
Your sintax is OK now.
Ok, now you mentioned keyas. are you talking about the ‘Auth key’ “SECURE_AUTH KEY’
directly above? What do I need to change those to?
