    Hi!

    Our website in driplinecoffee.com, but we obtained a new domain name and I was attempting to switch it to driplineoakland.com

    Unfortunately, after I changed it in settings, it now does not allow me to login to edit it back via
    http://www.driplinecoffee.com/wp-admin or http://www.driplineoakland.com/wp-admin

    When I try to login through the browser, it tells me:

    This site can’t be reached

    driplineoakland.com took too long to respond.
    Search Google for drip line oakland login
    ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

    If I provide the login name and password, can someone login and change it back for me? Changing the URL back to driplinecoffee.com would be ideal…Thanks for any help!

    You’ll need to change it back directly in the database following this guide: https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database

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

    You can follow the above reply from @macmanx or here’s another way to change your settings.

    First you need to know your database name and the table prefix. if you don’t know, here’s a way to find:

    (1) Login to your host control panel
    (2) Go to file manager and view the source code of file wp-config.php
    (3) find the values that i have bolded define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘Your Database Name‘); and $table_prefix = ‘Your Table Prefix‘;

    Paste your database name and table prefix values in the code below (note: please only replace values that are in bold):

    USE Paste Your Database Name Here;
    UPDATE Paste Your Table Prefix Here_options SET option_value = “http://www.driplinecoffee.com” WHERE option_name = “siteurl”;
    UPDATE Paste Your Table Prefix Here_options SET option_value = “http://www.driplinecoffee.com” WHERE option_name = “home”;

    Now go back to your host control panel and login to your phpMyAdmin -> then go to sql tab -> then paste the above lines and click go button.

    You can now visit your site at http://www.driplinecoffee.com
