‘This site cannot be accessed’

    Please help! My entire site seems to be broken now.

    In the Settings of my WordPress Admin Panel, I changed the ‘WordPress address (site url)’ and the ‘Website address (home url)’ from my temporary url (box****.temp.domains) to my actual site URL, in the mistaken belief that this would remove my need for using the temporary address.

    However, now I can’t make any changes to the website at all. When trying to view it through WordPress, I just get a message that says ‘This site cannot be accessed’ with a ‘Remove site’ button below it.

    After some googling, I ended up at the BlueHost cPanel file manager, where I added the following lines to the wp-config.php file:

    define( ‘WP_HOME’, ‘http://box****.temp.domains/~username’ );
    define( ‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘http://box****.temp.domains/~username’ );

    Which seems to have done absolutely nothing, and I still can’t login.

    Please help. How can I get my website back?

    Did anybody help you with this? I’m having the same issue and broke my site by changing the URL incorrectly..how do you get back in to change it when you’re completely blocked from the site?
