In reply to: accidently changed url to a site that already exits now cant login!As you have found, there are at lease two methods to update those two important url fields, siteurl and homeurl.
- edit database directly
- edit functions.php
And yes, there is a third method I prefer when the first two don’t get the job done: edit wp-config.php … The instructions are within the Changing_The_Site_Url document you referenced. Before you attempt, I would suggest revert your functions.php (remove the two lines you added).

In reply to: Users uploading files & framework for storing themFollow-up: Using the native uploader and not ftp client means you don’t need to concern yourself at all with the directory structure within /wp-content/uploads where the files by default are organized by date.

In reply to: Users uploading files & framework for storing themHello Robyn, great questions!
I would suggest rarely if ever to use ftp client nor any “upload plugin” for uploading new media files. Instead, utilize the amazing power of the native WordPress media uploader. This is how you will assure the media is properly included in the database.
For your office manager to replace media files with their new versions, I would suggest https://wordpress.org/plugins/enable-media-replace/

In reply to: Dashboard link only refreshes the wp-admin pageSorry to read you are experiencing difficulty.
Am I reading your post correctly? As far as I know the wp-admin page and the ‘Dashboard’ (Home) are one in the same. I believe you have described a properly functioning WordPress installation.

In reply to: Website being redirected on all mobile devicesI am sorry to hear your site is redirecting improperly.
Do you or your hosting company have a full backup of your site? Other than the guide mentioned above, one possible solution is to restore from a backup made before the issue commenced.
