Hello,
I was working in my admin area, in Settings, and I changed the Site address Url and WordPress address URL.
Now, i unfortunately forgot both of them, and now i can’t access my administrator area anymore.
Is there any chance to change some of the configuration or settings files to restore or change them again? If it exist, what file should I edit? Which parameter?

Thank you, waiting for you answer!

Two answers:

1. You can drop the following code into the very beginning of wp-config.php just after <?php and then attempt to visit the admin.

update_option(‘siteurl’,’http://yourdomain.com’);
update_option(‘home’,’http://yourdomain.com’);

2. You can use PHPMyadmin (or another MySQL management system) and navigate to your wp_options table. There, look for “siteurl” and “home” and correct their url’s (to the correct domain).

Hi,

thanks for your kind and fast message.

I’ve tried the option 1 dropping the code in the file config.

Then if I digit the Url of my domani or admin the result is:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function update_option() in /htdocs/public/www/wp/wp-config.php on line 2

These are my details:

URL : http://www.albacareto.it/wp
Admin URL : http://www.albacareto.it/wp/wp-admin/

I put in the file config this code:

update_option(‘siteurl’,’http://www.albacareto.it/wp’);
update_option(‘home’,’http://www.albacareto.it/wp’);

It’s correct?

Waiting for your help!!

Thanks

Gabriele
