If it was working before and now it is not (and you for SURE have not done anything to the site or hosting in the interim), then I would also suggest it is as lopwalj says in his 1. response.

One would normally have to had made a manual change to the wp-config file for that to be the cause; generally does not change on it’s own.

Contact your host to have them check that the database server for your account is up and running and that your hosting account is also functioning properly.

I don’t suppose there’s anyone who would be willing to help me out?

The “expanded version” 🙂

Local Site:

– export the database
– ZIP the contents of the site

Live Site:
– use phpMyAdmin (or your hosting account’s database tool) to create a new, empty database (no spaces in the name)
– import the exported local database .sql file
– edit the siteurl and home fields in the wp_options table with the new live site URL:

— http://www.my_domain.com

– upload the ZIP file and unZIP (or copy the local site files via FTP) to the desired location on the hosting account (generally the root of the account, public_html)
– edit the wp-config.php file there with the live database connection credentials (use the edit file option of your hosting account’s file manager to do so)
– log into the live site Dashboard:

http://www.my_domain.com/wp-admin

– install and run this plugin:

http://wordpress.org/plugins/velvet-blues-update-urls/

— select all options EXCEPT the last one (GUID)

– go to Settings > Permalinks and just re-save

– if broken links remain, then upload this script to the root of your hosting account and run it:

https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/

— this script updates the URLs that are stored in the database as serialized strings, which the plugin mentioned above does not handle

– go to Settings > Permalinks and just re-save if you had to run this script and then delete it from your hosting account

Done 🙂

I know it seems like a lot of steps/work, but it is quite straight forward and provides one with a better understanding (hopefully) of what is going on and why.
Yes, there are plugins that do this, such as Duplicator and BackupBuddy, but again, one does not get a gist of what’s happening. And if something goes pear-shaped using them, then it’s off to the plugin’s support forum to find out what went wrong.

Using this method, which I always use, I can get a local site to live in under 5 minutes 🙂

@keena2000 – good to hear you got it sorted … or it sorted itself 🙂

@keith Driscoll – on the “new” (Nov 2013) GD Linux cPanel accounts, “localhost” is now the host name.

If you hover over the “Home” menu item, you will notice that the path is:

Not sure how you came up with the “links” part 🙂

Perhaps go through the instructions in the earlier post and make sure it is entered as indicated.

Maybe this screenshot will help:

Here you go:

WordPress 3.9.1 Maintenance Release

In Settings>General: it’s correct “Center for Cerebral Palsy at UCLA”

Which one? Site title or Tagline?

… try it in the tagline.

Did you make your site on your iMac using something like MAMP, XAMPP, etc.?
If so, this is why you cannot find it on another computer.

Short answer (there are ways to do so with the above-mentioned local servers, but that is beyond the scope of this post), in order to do so, you have to buy a domain and a hosting account and then copy your local site to the hosting account.
