Accidentally changed domain name
-
Hello, I’m a beginner at all this, and I purchased a new domain name for my site.
Previously, the site was called http://www.eglisedelagrace.fr; I purchased the domain name http://www.egliseconnexion.fr.
Under “Settings”, I simply plugged the new name in the “WordPress address URL” and the “website address URL” fields. When I clicked on save, something went wrong.
Now, when I type in the previous http://www.eglisedelagrace.fr/wp-admin, I am forwarded to http://www.egliseconnexion.fr/wp-admin… Which seems to not exist. (Big NOT FOUND ON THIS SERVER message.) I can no longer even access my dashboard to change it back to the way it was—my previous login address is no longer working at all.
Any help you could offer would be appreciated. Thank you!

You have made a common error – however
The site you are asking about does not seem to be hosted on WordPress.COM so you need to make friends over at WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using.
This site is for support of sites hosted on WordPress.COM. You should address your questions to WordPress.ORG the keepers of the software you are using: http://wordpress.org/support/
The forum at WordPress.ORG is not connected to WordPress.COM so you will need to open an account at .ORG if you do not already have one. You may use the same email at WordPress.ORG as you do at WordPress.COM.
For more on the difference: http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
If you are asking for help with a WordPress.COM site then we need a link to that site to give you accurate help.

I’m afraid you’re in the wrong forum and need to be at WordPress.ORG for help with that version of the software.
