 * [16 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lost-site/)
 * I’ve attempted to get my wordpress blog to load from the root of my website though
   it is located in a subdirectory
 * [http://bfmcmillen.com/virtuallee](http://bfmcmillen.com/virtuallee) <—
    I moved
   the index.php to the root & I changed in location info in the general area of
   the admin
 * now nothing loads. So, using the codex info I went into my themes directory -
   function.php and added two lines right after the php:
    update_option(‘siteurl’,’
   [http://bfmcmillen.com/blog&#8217](http://bfmcmillen.com/blog&#8217);); update_option(‘
   home’,’[http://bfmcmillen.com.com/blog&#8217](http://bfmcmillen.com.com/blog&#8217););
 * I am fried. Is there ANY help?

 * Thank you for this. I have saved the information. Right now, I have no site. 
   I need to get my blog back up. Then I can experiment.
