I truly don’t know how it happened. somewhere along the way I changed the pointer to try to point to the domain..I realize now that was a huge mistake. I tried to go back and replace with the wordpress address but have it wrong. I really need to correct this.. * Thread Starter [wbtl1890](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wbtl1890/) * (@wbtl1890) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-access-page/#post-5703271) * well, how does one log in to the ‘back end’? * [Unstoppable Solutions](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paramedic192/) * (@paramedic192) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-access-page/#post-5703272) * yoursite/wp-admin * Thread Starter [wbtl1890](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wbtl1890/) * (@wbtl1890) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-access-page/#post-5703274) * nope. it says the page isn’t available * Thread Starter [wbtl1890](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wbtl1890/) * (@wbtl1890) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-access-page/#post-5703277) * Specifically it says: The page you requested is NOT AVAILABLE A general error has occurred * Thread Starter [wbtl1890](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wbtl1890/) * (@wbtl1890) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-access-page/#post-5703279) * this is the only remains of the site that I can even see, and I can’t log in to it: [http://wbtl.tv/wordpress/?page_id=11](http://wbtl.tv/wordpress/?page_id=11) and it looks nothing like it did right before I made the ‘fatal error’. any help you can suggest would be greatly appreciated! * [MarkRH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markrh/) * (@markrh) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-access-page/#post-5703280) * How did you access your blog initially when it was working (the URL) and what did you try to change it to? * I just wonder if the root directory associated with the domain is wrong now. * Thread Starter [wbtl1890](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wbtl1890/) * (@wbtl1890) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-access-page/#post-5703281) * Sigh, I wish I would answer! If I knew what I did, I could maybe go back and undo it. I do believe the root directory is affected now. Is there any hope? I didn’t get that far building the site. If I could just delete the account and start over, I’d be happy. * [Unstoppable Solutions](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paramedic192/) * (@paramedic192) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-access-page/#post-5703282) * I can tell you that when I have had this issue it was because I was working on a clients website in a subfolder and moved WordPress over to main directory before changing the address in the settings general tab first - [http://www.fmwebsolutions.org/example.JPG](http://www.fmwebsolutions.org/example.JPG) * To fix this I just copied the files back to the original subfolder I was working in and then changed it. * If you remember the url you changed the directory to, maybe you can do this. * [MarkRH](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markrh/) * (@markrh) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-access-page/#post-5703283) * Hmm.. can you get to: * wbtl.tv/wordpress/wp-admin/ * If so, need to go into the General Options and change the URL’s to be [http://wbtl.tv/wordpress/](http://wbtl.tv/wordpress/) * Or, you need to change the root directory of wbtl.tv to be the /wordpress/ directory on your webhost. * [Unstoppable Solutions](https://wordpress.org/support/users/paramedic192/) * (@paramedic192) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-access-page/#post-5703284) * what is your website URL? * Thread Starter [wbtl1890](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wbtl1890/) * (@wbtl1890) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-access-page/#post-5703285) * the domain name is wbtl.tv the wordpress address is wbtl.tv/wordpress I thought I had to remove the word wordpress.. I don’t even know where I was in the dashboard that showed me that, and I cannot log in and get to my dashboard now.
