I am a noob when it comes to web hosting but I have an IT background. My main issue is from the General – Settings area, I changed my SITE and Home to just my domain castandblastradio.com. (removing the /wordpress. I admit, I thought I knew what I was doing but I was wrong. I was trying to move /wordpress to just my domain (still trying to figure that one out….I am using GoDaddy as the hose.)

Anyway,, I can get back to the login screen: http://castandblastradio.com/wordpress/wp-login.php
When I do that, it redirects me to my domain with a 404 error page since there is no page. How do I fix this?
Thank you for your help

Change the url back with one of these methods: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

For moving WordPress:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

The see Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory

Thanks for the quick responses. When I get a chance later, I will try those methods. I will post back with an update.

So the main problem is that I can’t get to the dashboard to make those changes unless I am not understanding something.

When I go to:http://castandblastradio.com/wordpress/wp-login.php,
I get the login screen. When I login, it takes me to just my domain page Without the /wordpres)

This is the address: http://castandblastradio.com/wp-login.php (404 page not found)

I was in the early phase of building this and never went live. I was trying to move the wordpress site over.

Is there another way to get the dashboard? I am not clear if or how to FTP in. (or if that is a possibility)

Now please re-read the page at the first link I gave above. You do not need access to your dashboard.
