something similar happened to me once, you need to go to your myPHPadmin page to move the home and url of your blog…let me look for instructions.
I don’t have access to that, just ftp. But thanks
Then edit your wp-config.php and add these ‘defines’:
define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://example.com');
define('WP_HOME', 'http://example.com');
Of course replace with your correct URL.
See:
Editing wp-config.php
okay thanks, that worked.
But now my password won’t work….
It doesn’t even say that i have the wrong password, it just keeps refreshing the page.
would it be because of the site url redirecting from

Did you set those values in wp-config.php to be the URLs that were in place before you did the Settings->General change?
Not sure where you have WordPress installed (such as your web-root folder) but you do have WordPress in a sub-folder called wordpress and that’s here http://thepapermoon.ravenloftstudios.org/wordpress
yep i have it in the web root folder.
I put this in wp-config.php
define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘http://thepapermoon.ravenloftstudios.org/wordpress’);
define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘http://thepapermoon.ravenloftstudios.org/wordpress’);
I think I’m just going to reinstall wordpress.
I’m having this exact same problem. I’m working on a site locally and when I changed the address in settings to the web address, everything freaked out.
I added the DEFINE lines you suggested into wp-config.php but it’s not accepting my password either, even though it should be pointing to the right location locally.
I wish I had backed up wp-config.php!
Any tips on how I can get this working?
