 * Help – whilst in settings, by mistake I have included ?cat=1 on the end of my
   andyaughey.freeiz.com – Now i can’t get back in to edit it out in wp-admin?
    
   Any guidance on how I can get back access or restore my my site will be greatly
   appreciated.

 * Thanks Esmi – there seems to be some really good info here.
    I tried the ftp 
   option, but it wouldn’t see my site/files, probably because the ‘url’ has been
   changed. I’ve found the config.php on my hard drive… but that’s about it. To 
   be honest I’m pretty useless at web building/editing, but sadly had spent ages
   getting my site to something that I’m happy with and shouldn’t have messed. I’ll
   try you tube to see if i can find out how to edit the php, but thanks anyway.

 * Your WordPress settings will not affect your FTP in any way. They are two completely
   different applications. You need to look for wp-config.php in the same folder
   as you installed WordPress into.

 * Hey – sorted! What a fantastic relief!
    Thanks esme, for pointing me in the right
   direction – wouldn’t have had a clue where to even start never even heard of 
   a ‘url’. I looked at the php, but became even more confused, so typed changing
   url in you tube and got thsi excellent video tutorial. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsDg4qAgUPE](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsDg4qAgUPE)
 * All i wanted to do was get the word ‘Welcome’ to come up large when the site 
   opened, rather than having to click on the littel ‘welcome’ to make this happen–
   if this makes sense.
