  • The permalinks are only applied after the root domain part of the URL (edit – well actually after the ‘root’ URL for the WordPress installation!). So what you’ve effectively done (i’m guessing) is create a permalink structure that equates to…

    http://www.lebronnewsonline.com/lebronnewsonline.com”

    ..or something like that.

    One way I can think of to fix this would be to edit the WordPress database directly using phpMyAdmin, which you may have available under you hosts domain control panel.

    1. Open phpMyAdmin and select the relevant WordPress database –
    this should should be something like “your domain name” OR “your domain user name” underscore ( _ ) “whatever you called your WordPress blog”.

    2. Once you’ve clicked on the database name it’ll show you the tables within that database. You need to select the “wp_options” table and then the “browse” tab.

    3. Find the row with the “option_name” of “permalink_structure” –
    this should be at the top of page 2 so just click on the Next “>” button above the table results.

    4. Click on the pencil (“Edit”) icon to the left hand side of the row and delete the text in the “option_value” field then click “Go” to save the changes.

    Leaving this field blank should return WordPress to it’s default “ugly” URL’s and hopefully get the site working again. You’ll be able to edit the permalink structure again within the WP admin panel. Possibly after reading this.
