# General Settings URL issues

 * I have a client running an add-on domain on his hosting account. I installed 
   WP and a theme on the account under the appropriate folder for his add-on domain.
 * Issue is I couldn’t get the URL’s to show up correctly…it always stayed on the
   main URL, regardless of what page you were on. Didn’t got to site.com/about.php,
   etc.
 * So, I modified some of the General Setting URL settings to see if anything changed
   by using a different file path. I actually can’t use the site now…
 * I need to change the URL settings back the way they were, but can’t even login
   now.
 * Is this a change that has to be made somewhere in the database now? Or, is it
   in a WP file that I can modify and FTP back up??? Or is there an easier solution.
 * Thank you

 * Thank you for your assistance, modifying the Functions PHP file worked perfectly.
   However, I can’t login. It takes the password, but reloades the login page instead
   of taking me into the Dashboard. Thougths?
 * Thank you again.

 * I did…I originally tried it with the two lines in, then remembered they were 
   supposed to be delted, so I went back and delted. Then tried again.
 * Perhaps it was a browser cache….I tried a different browser and it works…
 * Thanks for the help.
