Cannot access Dashboard

  • I have changed my siteurl by removing /wp from the dashboard, since then I cannot access the admin console, neither does my theme show. In addition, all my links have been changed and responds with file not found, this is obviously due to the removal of the above. I have tried the renaming of the .htaccess file and varying other options. I can access the wp-login page and it allows me to enter my credentials, but then seems to be struggling with validation as it redirects to a page without the /wp in it. I am at my whits end trying to resolve this issue other than rebuilding the website. Any assistance would be highly appreciated.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Using FTP/ SFTP , or your web-host’s cPanel or whatever file management application your host provides, access phpMyAdmin on your host, then find your DB, there check the wp_options Table (Note: The table prefix of wp_ may be different if you changed it when installing), and make sure siteurl field and home field are correct. See https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database

    If you don’t feel comfortable messing with the database, contact your hosting provider to help you with this or try other methods described in the aforementioned codex

    If you haven’t already done, always backup your database before doing any actions, just in case something really goes wrong. You can never have enough backups!
