 * I cannot log onto my WP admin panel and I think my site is screwed up now. We
   just changed over from using a subdomain mirror site (www.jamesriverwriters.dreamhosters.
   com) to the actual domain (www.jamesriverwriters.org) and I deleted the mirror
   site w/o changing the URLs under “General Settings.” Is there anything I can 
   do?

 * Hi James
 * I think the only way to change this is by manually editing the MySQL database.
   A quick way I’ve got round this before is via the below
 * 1. Export a copy of the MySQL database to your computer
    2. Make a duplicate 
   copy so you have an original – for safety! 3. Open 1 of the databases in a text
   editor 4. Do find and replace all – so replace jamesriverwriters.dreamhosters.
   com with jamesriverwriters.org 5. Import the edited database
 * This will then update all references to the mirror site and you should then be
   able to access the site. Just remember to keep a copy of the original database
   in case my suggestion doesn’t work!
 * Cheers
    Sam
