    Hi all,

    I changed my URL domain from moorecoutureaustin.com to moorebeautyusa.com. I didn’t first remove moorecoutureaustin.com, and now moorebeautyusa.com will not load, and I cannot log into my backend wordpress account.

    HELP PLEASE!

    Your WordPress install probably still “thinks” its located at your old domain.

    to force your site to the new domain, edit your functions.php and add 2 lines as described here:

    define('WP_HOME','https://example.com');
    define('WP_SITEURL','https://example.com');

    Thanks Twee.Studio. This is helpful, however, I can’t navigate my site backend (or obviously front end haha) whatsoever. I’ve been trying to navigate to the Themes section to edit this code but it constantly spins and then won’t load. ??

    you’ll need FTP to do this. Download Filezilla client and use your web hosting account login details to log in to your FTP. Then navigate to public_html/wp-content/themes/<yourthemename>/functions.php and download that file. Open it up with notepad and add these two lines at the bottom of the file.

    if there’s a ?> in your file, place these two lines above it.

    after saving the file go back to Filezilla and double-click or drag the file in the right screen from the left to overwrite the edited file with the one on your server. It might ask if you want to overwrite a file, just confirm that and you’ll be fine.

    If you don’t know how to connect to FTP etc etc, you’re best off asking a local developer or a friend.

    Great, I’m familiar with FTP and Filezilla. I appreciate your quick responses!
