Hi Copaesthetic,
if you have phpmyadmin access you can directly go and select the database(with which WP is installed) > wp_options > then change siteurl(this the url where WordPress core file reside)
This helped me, lot of times with similar issue.
Thank you.

if you are interested in playing with wp-config.php file. replace example.com with your exact locations
then inside file wp-config.php on line:83 where there is comment which says “That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging.” before that line past the following with your updated urls
define(‘WP_HOME’,’http://example.com’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’http://example.com’);
I do not see the file “wp-options” nor do I see the lines…
define(‘WP_HOME’,’http://example.com’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’http://example.com’);
…in my wp-config.php file.
“wp_options” is a table name inside your database which you can find in phpmyadmin and its is not a file.
you cant find
define(‘WP_HOME’,’http://example.com’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’http://example.com’);
these lines in wp-config.php file because they dont exist. you have to add it
online 83 where there is comment which says “That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging.” before that line paste the code with your updated urls
Thanks Munawar, that worked!
Now this brings me back to square one, I want the user to goto my WP page when they type in the root directory of my URL. Thus I edited the wp-config.php like so:
define('WP_HOME','http://myblog.org');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://myblog.org/wp');
Nothing changed, if someone types in “myblog.org” they are just given a directory tree.
