Accidentally changed url, can’t log in 404 alert
-
Sorry, Im not premium bt I can’t get into my wordpress as I accidentally changed the url, I was trying to make my home page the page the website opens on and put /home after juliehamilldesigns.co.uk, it didn’t work so went back and changed the url but I have accidentally left the / in the url. I cant log in to change it and get 404 messages. I’m a novice at this and was getting along fine and now I’ve lost everything, can you help at all?

Hi there!
You’ve posted to the free support forums for websites hosted here at WordPress.com. Since your site is not hosted with us, we’re limited in what we can help with and advise. But I can get you pointed in the right direction to get help.
Changing your site URL name in your WordPress settings without first purchasing the new domain and changing the domain at your hosting provider (or creating the directory for the change) will cause the 404 error you’re seeing now. You should reach out to your host for help with this. Since they’re hosting your site’s files, they also have access to those files and are the best ones to help you undo this problem. They can also help you update your domain if you still want to change that as well.
If you have trouble in the future, you will need to reach out to your hosting provider or the WordPress.org community for guidance:

I hope that helps!
