    Just so y’all know, I am dumping the whole thing and starting from scratch. Fortunately learned this lesson before the site was bigger and completely irretrievable…
    Thanks!

    Wow. Thanks — But so much information, and I have tried a few of the simpler solutions to no avail. Not helping is that I am afraid I may have screwed up the database when I backed it up, by making two changes I later am pretty sure I undid, but am not completely sure I fixed.

    Where is the settings problem? What specific file is the info in if the site is hosted someplace other than on WordPress? The page link you sent (thanks again) doesn’t seem to clarify that for me, don’t see it in wp-config.php.

    The site is hosted on GoDaddy, not WordPress if that makes a difference, which I am sure it does with some of the suggested coding — I have FTP access, and copied the folder of everything, and could rip copy out of the database copy I have if it is screwed up.

    Anyone know what I lose by trashing the original MySQL database, putting in a new one and letting it “play” the theme in the folder, essentially? I think i would lose posting contents, but I can replace all of that if the “shell” of the site can get back up.

    In the meantime I will keep trying with what you posted here. I am assuming they are alternative methods, and not a series of steps to do all of… 😉
