 * Okay,
 * So I’ve been working on a new blog in a temporary directory (example.com/wp) 
   on the domain. Now that I’m finished I thought I’d change the setting so the 
   blog can be reached without adding ‘wp’.
 * Cause I was overconfident, thinking I could fix it, I never read [http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory](http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory)
   until now… I just changed the blog address in the dashboard.
 * Problem now is that somehow I can not login to the dashboard anymore. I can get
   into the login page (example.com/wp/wp-login./php) but once I click ‘login’ wordpress
   refers me to example.com/wp-login.php and I get a 404 error message… The example.
   com/wp page can still be visited but shows a ‘minimal’ version, the one you get
   when you have low bandwidth.
 * I know this can be fixed by resetting what I did before, but since I can’t get
   into the dashboard it’s not that easy. Can anyone tell me in which wordpress 
   file I have to change something so I can login again?
 * Thanks very much for you help.

 * Here are a few different ways to reverse what you did, after that you can then
   follow the instructions and move your wordpress.

 * Wow! That was fast! Thank you very much, it solved the problem.
    I’m gonna have
   a second try moving my wordpress… this time I’ll read some instructions first
   🙂
 * Once again thank you!
