 * So I did the step-by-step guide and changed the URL manually back to what it 
   is supposed to be in phpMyAdmin. Both _siteurl _and _home _are pointing to the
   original URL. I’m still getting the error. Did I do something wrong do I have
   to wait a bit?

 * Did you take any steps prior such as hard coding it into wp-config.php? Force
   a page refresh also may need to be done or clear browser cache…

 * I did but I reversed all of the steps when I decided to just manually change 
   the URL in the database. Do I still have to hard code it into wp-config.php for
   this to work?

 * No. But if you used one of the other methods to force the url change, and it 
   was still active when you modified the db, it would force it to that setting….
   which is why I asked…
