Renaming/linking an existing WP site

    The short backstory:
    I was making a site a while ago for a project a friend and I were working on. That project fell apart. Rather than instal a new WP onto my main hub site, I wanted to try to just rename the WP I had, and retrofit it into a personal gallery/portfolio.

    This was apparently not a good idea.

    What I did was go into the WP and change the name of the page, and then changed the url ending (from aenyothername.com/dbriefed to /gallery ) However, upon trying to save, I was immediately hit with
    “Not Found

    The requested URL /gallery/wp-login.php was not found on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.”

    Absolutely nothing I click on the WP admin panel links to anything but that warning. I tried going back in my history and changing the url back, but apparently that didn’t work because it’s still frozen with that error. If I go to the /gallery site, the error pops up as well, but if I go to the /dbriefed site, it has the new name in the tab, but all the old image/layout data.

    Is there even a way to fix this or do I need to blow the thing up and start over (I was trying to not have to instal WP on the site again because, frankly, I wasn’t the one who put it there in the first place and am CLUELESS)

    I know I’ve changed page URLs before, so I didn’t think this would be an issue.

    Suggestions?

    Ok.

    first: is aenyothername.com/dbriefed the actual url to your site?
    second: do you still have access to your WordPress admin?

    That url was the original url, but it appears to be the only one that still works. Unfortunately, if I try to go to the WP-Admin through it I get an error.

    I was in the WP, but then my shitass Windows 8 computer restarted itself, so I cannot any longer get into my account. At this point I think my only option is to remove it from the server and start over.
