    You should be able to change the site & WordPress addresses back to the original values using the method outlined at https://wordpress.org/support/article/changing-the-site-url/#edit-functions-php

    Thank you for the link. So I am a total Noob when it comes to FTP. I have the host open and I downloaded Filezilla. How do I get to the files?

    UPDATE: 8/25/2019 @ 11:10am – Was able to get into the FTP directory through my browser. I’m not seeing the wp-content folder or file or anywhere to find the functions.php option. I tried connecting to the FTP through Filezilla but after researching I haven’t been able to find the correct IP/PORT/PASSWORD combination.

    Please advise!

    Looks like you have things working again now.

    You need to set the DNS for your new domain name to point to your web host. You might need to talk with your web host and/or domain registrar to get that sorted out.

    Once your domain is pointing at your webserver you can then try changing that domain again. There may be a period before it starts working as the DNS system catches up with the changes (up to 48hrs in some cases).

    Depending on your needs you might just ‘forward’ that new domain to the old domain instead.
