 * Things were going quite well until I decided to make some changes under Settings/
   General. I changed the site name and urls. Now nothing can be found or loaded.
   BTW I am running on localhost with WAMP.
 * Is there a way to fix this or would it be better to start over with a new site?
   Thanks.

 * You could try doing this within the database, change it back to origin. Otherwise
   you could, if not much done, reinstall WordPress.

 * Hello Engine44,
    I think you entered the Incorrect Url. so, you can’t accessed
   any things.
 *  To fix this please follow the below steps:
 *  1) Go to your current database.
    2) Then, select wp_options table. 3) Search
   siteurl in column optionname and change optionvalue with your previous siteurl.
   4) And also change your home option value with same as siteurl.
 * I hope it will help you.
 * Thanks

 * Great! It worked. Thank you.
 * I’m curious about why the Settings allows you to change the url when it will 
   mess up things?
