    I was trying to create a landing page for my blog, but instead ended up changing the site url. So now when I go to MorningEncouragement.com, I (instead) end up on MorningEncouragement.com/welcome-2/welcome-2 and can’t access my admin panel. Any suggestions on how to change it back without being able to get into the admin section?

    Hi gsiebeprt,

    it can happen to the best of us 🙂 It’s a relatively easy fix, if you’re comfortable editing the WordPress tables directly. Your hosting provider usually gives you access to phpMyAdmin, a web-based tool that lets you change entries in the MySQL database.

    Take a look at two values in the wp_options table: home and siteurl. Change them both to your domain (including the http:// prefix) and try to access your site again. Depending on your host, the options table may have a different prefix (something other than wp_).

    Let me know if you need anything else, I know this can be an intimidating task and some of the lingo associated with MySQL can sound a bit complicated.

    Great thank you, I’ll try it later. Not to be stupid but is phpMyAdmin a website?
