 * Hello and please help!
 * I can’t save changes to my settings>General. The ‘Save changes’ button is there(
   as opposed to other similar forum posts) but when I click it it takes me to a
   front-end page /wp-admin/options.php page which says the page never existed.
 * I’m trying to enable general registration.
 * I’ve tried deactivating every plugin and changing the template to 2015, but same
   issue.
 * The wordpress address and site url are listed on my development site, yet I have
   migrated the site to the main url, it redirects to the development url. Could
   this by relevant?
 * I’ve tried changing the value to 1 from 0 in phpmyadmin, but that doesn’t register
   on the site. Is it possible to make these changes directly in the database? It
   seems logical, but I don’t understand why it isn’t working.
 * Otherwise, I have no idea and really need this fixed. Any suggestions very much
   appreciated.

 * Sounds like not all values were properly changed in the database. You’ll need
   to take a look at [https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress](https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress)

 * I do all the necessary changes to change the menu bar color. It works but as 
   soon as I click in it it reverts back to what it was…help]
