URGENT
-
I accessed Settings > General and changed the WordPress URL and Site URL to what I wanted the new URL to be. From http://27.121.64.62/~pipi7974 to http://www.pilpelbythesea.com.au.
Now I am unable to access the website, WP dashboard/admin/login, and receiving 404 Error’s left right and centre. I have done everything recommended to fix the problem and nothing has worked – it should have been such a simple fix, but all the solutions seem to work for everyone but me. What could have I done differently?
For example,
– I changed the Site and Home URL back to the original in CPanel (phpMyAdmin)
– added: define(‘RELOCATE’, true);
– added define(‘WP_HOME’,’http://27.121.64.62/~pipi7974′); define(WP_SITEURL’,’http://27.121.64.62/~pipi7974′);
– I tried disabling the plugins and accessing the website.NOTHING HAS WORKED, what else is there for me to do? Please help!

Hi electriccarrot,
As your website is self-hosted, you’ll likely find an answer here:

Best of luck! -
Changing the siteurl without a proper setup for the new domain will indeed break a self-hosted WordPress.org install. This guide explains how to fix that:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URLSince your blog is not setup here at WordPress.com, please ask future questions in the volunteer-based forums at http://wordpress.org/support/ or check in with your web host directly to see if they are willing to help you. Some web hosts offer excellent WordPress help but others will direct you to the volunteer forums since it is free, open source software and you are managing it on your own.
