  Hi,

  Last week I broke my site :(

  When I log in on my site it went to http://www.site.com/cms (everything is installed here) in the options of wordpress i deleted the CMS part.

  Now my site is broken and cant login anymore.

  I tried to find a file via FTP to fix it. Because I dont know anything about scripting, I dont know what to do.

  Does anyone know what while I have to change to make the site work aggain?

  Hello, deuverman! Just a quick heads up. Your question is pertaining to the self hosted wordpress CMS (wordpress.org) so Just for future reference, your questions are best posted on https://wordpress.org/support/
  
  Difference between wordpress.com and wordpress.org

  Since you are hear though, I will try to point you in the right direction. If you follow these steps, your site should go back to normal: http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  If you are familiar with doing so, I would simple export all your databases into a single file and do a “find and replace all.”
  Simply search for the old domain name and replace it with the new domain. Replace all the entries. Save the changes. Remove the old database entires in myphpadmin and upload the new sql file.
  If what I just said sounds confusing, just following the steps in the link above and you will yield the same results.

  If you need further help, either PM me or head over to https://wordpress.org/support/ BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!

  Hi there,
  This is the WordPress.COM support forum. You need to post to the WordPress.ORG support forum for help with your site because it is not hosted by WordPress.COM.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are completely separate and have different logins, features and support forums http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.ORG bloggers.
