  Help! I have no idea what I’m doing, I accidently published my site… finally got back to the main dashboard menu page, I was trying to get rid of the /wp/ after my domain name, didn’t understand why it was there, so I went into settings, general and deleted the wp after my domain name, now I get a 404 error and can’t get back to the main page for working on my website… I’m usually pretty good at making a mess of things, so please if anyone can help, or who can I contact to help?

  Hello,

  What is the URL of the site you’re referring to?

  Hi els0337,

  I can see one site connected to your account — els0337.com. Is this the site you are working on?

  Just let me know and we’ll go from there.

  Thanks!

  Hi, thanks for the responses, I ended up just uninstalling and reinstalling wordpress, I hadn’t gotten very far with my website anyway… I figured out why there was a /wp after my domain name, didn’t realise it was on the install setup, so I changed it on the reinstall…

  Hi there,

  Sounds like you’re working on a self-hosted WordPress site, not a WordPress.com one. In future, the best place to get help if you run into technical difficulties is here:

  You can also find the complete documentation for self-hosted WordPress here:
