cant log into word press to access my site

Hi there!

Im truly sorry for my computer illiteracy!

No need to be. Many of us started out the same way. 😀

In order to change the constants mentioned on that page you first need to have access to the wp-config.php file of your site. You can get to this using an FTP program or even using your hosting company’s file manager.

There are several out there and many are free to use as well:

• FileZilla
• Cyberduck
• FireFTP

I know there are also some helpful YouTube videos on how to access your site files with FTP.

So I tried to http//:my site.com/wordpress’ it took me no where.

If that’s what you tried, you put the colon in the wrong spot, it’s http://

So, following the guide at https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#WordPress_address_.28URL.29 if your site were at example.com/wordpress then the line would be:

define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://example.com/wordpress' );

i wish there was someone who i could speak to live so i could get walked through the process.

There is live chat support available via IRC: https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_IRC_Live_Help

Please keep in mind that WordPress is developed and supported entirely by volunteers, so if you need dedicated one-on-one support, you’ll likely need to hire someone. For that, try http://jobs.wordpress.net/ or https://jetpack.pro/ and do not accept any hire or direct access offers posted to these forums.

What is an FTP?

FTP is one of the most popular ways for directly accessing a server. It has nothing to do with WordPress and can be setup following your hosting provider’s documentation. If you can’t find it via your hosting provider’s documentation, you’ll need to contact your hosting provider’s support department.

Here are a few more words on FTP, but you’ll still need to consult your hosting provider’s documentation or support for specifics: https://codex.wordpress.org/FTP_Clients

I cant get into host sites file manager.

You’ll need to contact your hosting provider about this.

Is there an easy fix for me to get back into my sites dashboard/homepage so i could reverse what I have done.

What’s been described here is the easiest fix. You might find that https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database is easier though, as you’re basically changing the settings directly in the database, kind of like how you changed them in the Dashboard. For that, you’ll find phpMyAdmin in your hosting account’s control panel. Consult your hosting provider’s documentation or support for specifics.
