Figured it out. After changing the site URL, to undo the changes that caused the 404 error the .htaccess file needed to be removed from the new location (which was the root directory in my case). So now my site is back to how it used to be.

Hi,

I have a similar problem. Our team changed the site URL in the dashbaord and now the site has crashed with the familiar 404 error. I’ve followed

http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

but this did not work. We’re using buddypress if that changes anything. The only step that worked was the

define(‘RELOCATE’,true);

So I now have access to the home page
but any type of navigation results in the 404. I can’t access the wp-admin.php to revert the settings back and fear for all our work. Any help would be much appreciated and I’ll try to answer all your questions. I have tried all the steps mentioned in the above guide to no avail.

Please help…
