  I changed the URL on my LOCAL wordpress site from ‘localhost’ to the site URL I was going to use, and now I cannot access my site (404 error when I try both localhost:8888/wp-admin and pair design.net/wp-admin).

  Mind you, I am NOT web savvy, so please break your advice down and simple as you can.

  Thank you!!!

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

  Also, this is not a blog. This is a work homepage I have been working on. Im not sure if that matters.

  Thanks again!

  Here’s a helpful page on changing your site address in a self hosted site: https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

  It looks like you have a self-hosted WordPress.org site. This forum is strictly for WordPress.com hosted sites.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are a little separate, and that can be confusing.

  You’ll want to use the forums at https://wordpress.org/support/ for any support past the article I’ve shared, sorry. Hope that helps to point you in the right direction!
