  Hello,
  This may be a newbie mistake. I may just need to learn, I have an account with wordpress.org and wordpress.com.

  I accidentally changed the link on the ‘WordPress Address’ to http://www.wearetehire.com (the same as the Site Address) and now when I login to wp-admin, it takes me to the blog, not to the website dashboard.

  How can I get my website back?

  I tried adding ‘define(‘RELOCATE’,true);’ at the end of the code and I also tried adding

  define(‘WP_HOME’,’example.com’);
  define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’example.com’);

  To the beginning of the code, and that did not work.

  After I login to the admin site, it takes me to – wearethehire.wordpress.com/wp-admin/ – but its a blog, and I want the website back.

  Any ideas?

  Thanks in advance,

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Well then that means you were posting to the wrong support forum. We provide support only for sites on WordPress.COM servers.

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  This is wordpress.COM support. We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
  (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
  (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.
  (3) sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.

  The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/

  Some Jetpack solutions are here http://jetpack.com/support/

  Others are in the Jetpack support forum at WordPress.org
  http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/jetpack

  However, if help cannot be found at either one then they can file a Jetpack support ticket here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service

  WordPress.org support docs are at https://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page
  See also https://apps.wordpress.org/support/ for app support.
