# “Change WordPress Address”

 * I was experimenting with some of the options on WordPress and decided to change
   the “change wordpress address” line, because I don’t like the “blog” tacked on
   to the end of my web address. I changed it, and everything was messed up (as 
   I’m sure some of you who are smarter than me realize already).
 * Now I can’t change this option back, because it says I have to enable sending
   refferers in order to change the settings. I looked at the wordpress post on 
   how to change that setting, and I tried “1” and “2”, no help on either of them.
 * Help! Here’s what my site looks like now: [http://www.holdemauthority.com](http://www.holdemauthority.com)–
   Not good.
 * Thanks
 * Joe

 * unfortunately, you’ll need to follow these instructions on changing that info
   back in your mysql database using PHPmyadmin.
    [http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/](http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/site-url/)
   Then you’ll want to follow these directions [/Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_Within_Your_Site](http://codex.wordpress.org//Moving_WordPress#Moving_WordPress_Within_Your_Site)
   to properly move the blog.
 * If you run into any problems, or don’t feel comfortable with the directions, 
   check back with specific questions, and someone will be able to assist. And don’t
   worry, nothing is lost.

 * Thank you so much!
 * Is the second half of the instructions for what I was trying to do? I followed
   the first part and everything is ship shape, so I’m thinking the second link 
   can be used for my initial goal before everything got messed up.
 * Thanks again!
