 * Hi all,
 * I need some help on a client that I developed a while back. I had set up the 
   website and everything for the client already. However, recently she wanted to
   switch her wordpress website, to “blog spot”.
 * Instead of transferring domain name and what not, she accidentally went to settings
   in the admin page (wp-admin) to “general” and deleted the site URL or the WordPress
   URL (she cant recall which one).
 * Doing that her website is still available, however, whenever she types in wp-
   admin it no longer lets her go to the log in page but instead it takes her directly
   to the “wordpress.org.
 * Does anyone know or been in this situation. Please let me know, and thank you
   so much in advance.

 * I have never been in that situation, but I would likely try this in functions.
   php:
 * Select and edit one pair of lines or the other — no trailing slashes — then temporarily
   place a slash after `/*toggle on/off*` just above them to un-comment them and
   make them active.
 *     ```
       /*-either-*/
       /* tell database to recognize and use http://domain.com
       /** @ near top of theme functions.php /*toggle on/off*
       update_option('siteurl','http://domain.com');
       update_option('home','http://domain.com');
       /*-or-*/
       /* tell database to recognize and use http://www.domain.com
       /** @ near top of theme/functions.php /*toggle on/off*
       update_option('siteurl','http://www.domain.com');
       update_option('home','http://www.domain.com');
       /*-end-*/
       ```
