  Hi there,

  I am using my personal account, as I have a login for the site in question, but I don’t know the details for the account associated with it.

  I have changed the URL by accident, and want to get it back, but can’t. The website URL is http://chalkwovens.com/. It had the additional /wp/ on the end, and I got rid of it thinking it work. It has not, and has instead stopped the site from working altogether. Just to be clear the full URL should read chalkwovens.com/wp/

  How can I fix this?

  Thanks,
  Laurie.

  All fixed. I got in via ftp and coded this into the top of the wp-config.php file

  define(‘WP_HOME’,’https://yourdomain.com’);
  define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’https://yourdomain.com’);

  It all works now.

  it was confusing as the wp-config.php file was had not been edited by wordpress, so you have to put it in yourself to override it
