Newbie mistake – changed site URL and now can’t access

Hi there,

I’m pretty new to WordPress and recently I’ve been trying to get my new site working by trial and error. The site is a simple blog which feeds into a BigCartel online store.

Yesterday I asked my host to record a CNAME which redirected my registered domain address (eg. http://www.lewisss.co.uk) to my BigCartel store. Everything seemed fine, the only issue was that now, to login to my WordPress blog (www.lewisss.co.uk/blog/news), I had to first login to my BigCartel store, then head to my BigCartel blog page (where the WordPress blog was fed in) then click ‘Older Posts’, then replace the URL with http://www.lewisss.co.uk/blog/wp-admin to sign in to WordPress. If I tried to sign in to WordPress without first signing in to – and clicking through – BigCartel, I’d just get a ‘Oops, we couldn’t find that page’ message from my BigCartel site.

Anyway… this was annoying, but manageable. But then, in an attempt to simplify things (and out of ignorance, I admit) I did a bit of tinkering in the WordPress General Settings, hoping to somehow fix it so I could log straight back into WordPress like before. So where it said SITE URL I changed it from http://www.lewisss.co.uk/blog to http://www.lewisss.co.uk.

And then everything messed up and now I can’t seem to access my WordPress site from anywhere. Can anyone help? I guess what I did is screw my WordPress site up by giving it the same main URL as I’d previously re-directed to BigCartel – is that so? And if so, how can I fix it?

So grateful for any help or advice…

Thanks!

PS: lewisss.co.uk is just a made-up address for the purposes of illustration!
