    I have been struggling all day to try and work out how to change my websites new domain name, but I am new to this and I am having real problems. I stupidly changed the the domain name in the General Settings page to the website in wordpress and it has messed everything up. And now I cannot even get back into to the back end of the wordpress site to get it back to normal. Please help

    If you have access to cpanel or your hosting phpmyadmin panel then you can change the url back to old one.

    Go to phpmyadmin -> Browse your wordpress “database” – > Find the “wp_options” table –> Find “siteurl” . Click and edit the fields.

    when I tried to log in to the wordpress admin section on my clients website (lucyshandmadecards.com) it says

    Forbidden – You don’t have permission to access /blog/wp-login.php on this server.

    And also the when I go to the actual website it does not look right. Can anyone explain why this is?

    Thank you
