WordPress website not working after chaning site URL

  • Unknown's avatar

    Good afternoon,

    I changed my site URL before pointing the domain to my website and can no longer access the website. I’ve tried all the troubleshooting methods possible.

    I’ve tried editing the wp-config.php to have ‘defined’ and the URL attached to the definition. I’ve tried restarting and allowing certain things in Apache.

    The only thing I haven’t done yet is to work on the database. Because this is a digital ocean installation of WP it didn’t come with cPanel. So I don’t have access to the database in the way. The only way I can access the database is by starting it through the servers console. There are queries to adjust certain information in the database but I am worried about further damaging and losing my website.

    I would appreciate any help and advice if anyone has ever experienced this, thank you.

  • Hi there,

    Looks like you’re in the wrong forum. It appears that you’re using the open-source WordPress.org software and you need to seek help at these forums:

    https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

    I also recommend getting in touch with your domain and hosting provider.

    These forums are for WordPress.com hosted sites only. If you want to know more about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org you can read this document:

    WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org
