  I was trying to change my site url to something easier to remember and accidentally broke it. I went to Settings -> General entered a new site name that a colleague of mine purchased and pressed save. Now I don’t know how to login or change the site back?

  WP.com: Unknown
  Jetpack: Unknown
  Correct account: Unknown

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

  You can’t just change the URL as you know now. As your site is using the open source wordpress.org, you can change the URL in the database as described at https://wordpress.org/support/article/changing-the-site-url/#changing-the-url-directly-in-the-database

  Hi there,

  If you’re unable to fix this using the instructions @staartmees linked to above, please contact your hosting provider directly for help with this. They might be able to help you fix this from your hosting dashboard on their end.
