Sudden login error screen or something

    I was happily going about my business reviewing and updating some settings in Tools > General. When I went to save the changes this error screen generated. See a screenshot here: https://ibb.co/r0mCn0g or go to the url listed below. I didn’t change anything that would break a website. Now there is no admin login screen, only this screen. No idea what happened or what is going on. Any suggestions are much appreciated and thank you.

    It looks like you changed your site URLs. You can change those back in the database by following this guide: https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/changing-the-site-url/#changing-the-url-directly-in-the-database

    You’ll find phpMyAdmin in your hosting account’s control panel.

    In fact, that is the thing I did do that probably triggered this. I changed a URL in Settings > General. Had no idea it would have such an effect.

    According to the first two methods to correct the problem, the only one that worked was changing the wp-config.php file. Changing the functions.php was the recommended solution, though that did not resolve it.

    The instructions continue by saying once the problem is fixed, you then need to remove the previously added code and re-upload the file. That did not work for me. Once I removed that code, the problem came back again. The site now seems to require that hard coding into the wp-config file.

    So, the solution worked but not exactly as predicted according to the instructions. I hope that doesn’t further affect the site leaving that code in there. Now in Settings>General, the two URL fields are grayed out.

    Thank you very very much!
