I have renamed my website url within settings – website down / locked out of WP

    I own both .co.uk and .com urls for my domain but in the process of abandoning my .co.uk url.

    I happened to be playing about earlier under “settings > general” and renamed my url to the .com (even though everything was setup through the .co.uk site. I was instantly blocked out and can’t log back in to my dashboard and now my website is also down! Looks like I have kinda “short circuited” everything from within the wordpress site.

    I have no idea where to navigate to within my file manager on my hosting site to manually change back to .co.uk. Can anyone advise?

    Hi maginso –

    Sounds like you’re site is running on a WordPress installation rather than using us at WordPress.com. Could you share the domains so I can confirm?

    Help with the WordPress installation comes from wordpress.org/support/

    This page sorts out some more of the differences between running your own WordPress installation and what we do here at WordPress.com.

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
