    It looks like that site is hosted on Bluehost?

    And this one is not your site at all – is that domain name yours??

    http://miamibynatalia.com

    No. When I changed the domain from notesbynatalia.com to miamibynatalia.com on my dashboard, it worked fine and didn’t say the domain was already registered. Once I saved it and went to check the site, it opened up the actual miamibynatalia.com site which is not me. I tried to fix it by logging into my dashboard but notesbynatalia.com/wp-login doesn’t exist anymore and miamibynatalia.com/wp-login clearly doesn’t work. Now, when you go to notesbynatalia.com it synced Miami by Natalia with that domain and I have no access to log-in.

    It wouldn’t tell you that the domain was registered there – WP settings aren’t related to whether a domain name is valid or available. To register a domain name you have to register it through a domain name registrar – if you look up that domain name, you’ll see that it IS registered:

    http://www.whois.com/whois/miamibynatalia.com

    So the fix is to change those URL settings back –

    Wow. I have NO idea how to do that. Thank you though.

    On Bluehost, you can use Cpanel – login to your account and find your WordPress files on the server and then use this method:

    I have no idea what any of it means…I can’t change my url to an existing domain…

    Okay, so just to be sure we’re talking about the same thing, is this you?

    No. That’s not me. That’s the person under the miamibynatalia.com domain which my website is now locked to. When you go to MY domain: notesbynatalia.com it is stuck on HER domain miamibynatalia.com . My blog does not let me log in because it thinks it’s miamibynatalia.com and my Bluehost is my domain. The issue is that I need to log into my wordpress dashboard to change the website name from miamibynatalia.com to what it was: notesbynatalia.com

    Okay, yes, that’s what I understood before – that you changed the URL settings under Settings > General?? Is that where you changed them?

    If that’s the case, you won’t be able to login to change that- which is why you will have to access your site another way to change those settings. Unfortunately, there isn’t any other way to fix this.

    If you can’t do that yourself, Bluehost might be willing to help you with it.

    OK. I think I managed to just delete it somehow. Can I still recover the premium theme? I have the .zip file on my computer, is there any way I can upload it or do I have to buy it again?

    You should be able to reinstall it, yes.
