  I changed my website in settings from http://www.bigbellmedia.com/bigbellm to http://www.bigbellmedia.com then I got the 404 error. I did not download wordpress before I did this but I did after. I cannot get into my account without seeing this 404 error. I have gone into cpanel and went into .htaccess because a site said this would help and all I saw was this:
  # Use PHP56
  AddHandler application/x-httpd-php56 .php

  I have no idea what this means or what to do with it. I am just looking to fix my site and get back to editing it. Please help!

  Aloha bigbellmediallc, It looks like you are working with a self-hosted WordPress.org site instead of the WordPress.com-hosted version supported here.

  Learn more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  I would recommend searching on the WordPress.org support forums for similar issues. If you cannot find anything that works, you can start your own thread. The forums are completely separate from each other, so you will need to register an account there if you haven’t done so already.
