Cannot change site url. How to change site url? Cannot access WordPress either.

  • Unknown's avatar

    I am using WordPress on Mac.
    I access WordPress through the MAMP App and localhost:8888 url.
    I want to change my WordPress URL.
    How do I do it?

    I went to http://localhost:8888/wordpress/wp-admin/options-general.php
    and changed it in both the fields.

    Now I cant access my blog.

    How do I gain access to my blog again and change its URL?

    I am new in this.
    Simple, Detailed step by step instructions will be appreciated.

    Im a beginner here.
    Any of the codes im supposed to put will help.
    And I didnt get many of the instructions there.

    Please help~!

    Can go to MAMP start page.
    But from there, cant go to wordpress.

    WordPress remains blank.

    A sample of how the entire wp config file should look if I changed the url would help.

    And how can I get back access to wordpress?

    Heres my wp config file, what is causing problem? what should i edit?

    update_option(‘siteurl’,’http://essenceprimus.com’);
    update_option(‘home’,’http://essenceprimus.com’);
