 * Hi, I’ve built a site in a subdirectory but wanted it to become accessible from
   my root URL. I committed the classic noob mistake of merely changing the Site
   URL to my domain in the General Settings and now I can’t access anything.
 * However, I already HAVE tried most of the steps in [Changing the Site URL](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL).
   I edited functions.php via FTP with those 2 lines but it didn’t work. I then 
   accessed the database directly through my hosting manager and changed siteurl
   and home back to the correct value (of my subdomain). Generally everything I 
   have been able to find online just refers me to that article, but it’s not working
   and now I’m lost.
 * To make matters even more strange, I have a normal simple HTML/CSS site created
   in my root folder. That website is still accessible as normal. However, I have
   a total of 3 wordpress subdirectories on my domain and ALL 3 now result in internal
   server errors, even though I only changed the Site URL for one of them. Any ideas
   where to even start looking? I host with Godaddy (unfortunately) if that is any
   help.
