Hi, I have a blog with wordpress.com and typed the new url in my dashboard.
it used to be http://www.astridsorrentino.com and now it is http://www.divinedirections.us. I got the domain though godaddy.
now the website is screwed up looking and I can not access my dashboard to change the domain name back to the way it was.

Help!
I have no php’s etc. on my computer.

If you have a blog at WordPress.com, you wouldn’t be able to change the URL in the Dashboard. You have a WordPress.org blog. Don’t confuse the two, they’re very different. 🙂

You can correct the URL manually following this guide: https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database

Thank you. But I can not backup anything, like the manual starts.
I changed the url in the settings of the backoffice.
so still… not working.

I hope the support can just access the account and overwrite it to the original way.
And then I will migrate away from wordpress… the support is really bad. nothing is explained the easy way.
I am so frustrated right now. I got it finally to look the way I wanted, which took be days…. and now everything is lost. I can not even copy and paste any of my content and have to rewrite everything.

We can’t access your site directly, it’s entirely self-contained.

You’ll need to follow this guide to change the URLs manually yourself: https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database
