  I was thinking about changing my URL to something else so I typed it into the general settings. But I decided to change it back to my original URL and I clicked save but the changes did not save. So now when I try to log back in, it says the server to the new address can’t be found even though I changed it back in the general settings before my session timed out. How can I make sure I get back my old URL?

  Hi there,

  What is the original URL and the URL you modified to?

  You sound like you are using self hosted WordPress.org instead of WordPress.com

  You should get answer for this issue at below forum if you are not using WordPress.com,

  Hello there!

  What is the name of the website that you are working with? What was the old URL and what was the one you were thinking about changing it to?

  Is this a website that is hosted here at WordPress.com? You can view the difference between WordPress.com or WordPress.org (self-hosted) here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
