    Using FTP/ SFTP , or your web-host’s cPanel or whatever file management application your host provides, access phpMyAdmin on your host, then find your DB, there check the wp_options Table (Note: The table prefix of wp_ may be different if you changed it when installing), and make sure siteurl field and home field are correct.

    Thanks for the response. I was trying to follow the instructions from the help page you linked, but I’m lost. I have logged into my site’s directory using Filezilla and I cannot locate a wp_options table. The only file with ‘options’ in the name is a PHP file housed in the wp-admin folder and there is not a place I see to change or edit the URL, only add multiple URLs. Am I missing a step here?

    access phpMyAdmin on your host. Ask your hosting provider to help you locate your database, OR ask theme to do the change for you.
