    I stupidly changed the URL under settings and now I can’t even access the dashboard.
    404 Not Found error and Can’t Find Server keeps coming up.
    I’ve looked at this link that everyone recommends https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_The_Site_URL , but honestly, I’m not much of a techy and barely understand what it’s asking me to do.

    HELP PLEASE!

    Then how do you expect to fix the problem?

    Well I’m not quite sure how to fix the problem, which is why I’m asking…
    I have read the article and attempted to do the codes but it is still not working.

    For example, first suggestion is entering this code into the wp-config.php file.

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

    I searched for the wp-config.php file by entering into my search in my Finder, since I could not figure out where to find it.
    I entered it in at the bottom of the file (doesn’t say where I should put it, if that matters), with the options of what my url could be.
    Question about my URL – is the it the “localhost” url I’m putting in?
    I put in “localhost:8888” which is what it normally was, and the 404 Error did not come up but the page is blank, nothing will load.
    Am I missing something?

    Unless moved it, your wp-config.php should be in the root of your WP installation
