# Problems with Changing URL in WordPress

 * I’ve been working on this website for this organization I work with and we have
   agreed to make the site “live” I’ve been hosting the site as a subsite on its
   mainserver ([http://africanameric…ress_982685815/](http://africanameric…ress_982685815/))
 * I attempted to change the website settings in the General Settings in WordPress
   so that the wordpress site is no longer hosted under africanamericanatelier.org/
   wordpress/ but as AfricanAmericanAtelier.org/
 * Needless to say, that was an epic fail! The files are still accessible in the
   Earthlink File Manager (i’ve tried to convince them to update to godaddy or bluehost)
   but I do not know how to either
    1. Restore the “subsite” so that someone else
   can fully migrate it or 2. Fully Migrate the site
 * I don’t have phpMyAdmin and have only been using WordPress as a CMS

 * Just checked and the live site looks up and running @ AfricanAmericanAtelier.
   org/. Is that the final site, or is this something you’re trying to update with
   the site you’re developing in the /wordpress directory?
 * If you’re trying to migrate a site, this is a great resource:

 * Thank you McGuive7.
 * The site that is up and running is the site that I am trying to update with the
   site that I am developing in the the wordpress directory. I will check out the
   link. And let you know my results!
