changed website name and can't access wordpress anymore

Dear cecilecolares,

Not sure that I can help you, but you could try to log in to your hosting and go to phpMyAdmin. Find the wp options and check if the site URL is the one you want it to be.

If not, change it to your new domain. If it is the new domain, I’m sorry that I couldn’t help you any further.

Here are several ways to change the url.

Hello,

I actually sorted already perfect thank you.

Hi cecilecolares,

That’s good news. It might be useful to other users that you share your solution. I’m also a bit curious about how you fixed it.

my new website was live, https://www.cecilecolares.com my hosting manager sorted all files but then to login into my wordpress i had to login with my old website name https://www.kahunaflow.com and password and once inside the dashboard i had to change website name and http and update all plugins that used my website link…etc
so now i can login with cecilecolares.com into the dashboard.

Hi Cecile, that’s great to hear!

May I be so rude to make a suggestion for your website?
You might want to try and set your background image to cover. This will not repeat your background image, so it will look like one picture.

You should just try it, you might like it this way. Add this to your CSS file:

body.custom-background {
	background: url(https://www.cecilecolares.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/bg_kahuna_massage.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
	-webkit-background-size: cover;
	-moz-background-size: cover;
	-o-background-size: cover;
	background-size: cover;
}

	-o-background-size: cover;

}

this is a great suggestion thank you i appreciate

I did enter the code in :
customize > design> custom css i cannot see any changes…

how is it suppose to look like?
thank you

Hi Cecile, It should make your background image not repeat itself when you scroll the page. Try this code instead. It might need !important

body.custom-background {
	background: url(https://www.cecilecolares.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/bg_kahuna_massage.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed !important;
	-webkit-background-size: cover !important;
	-moz-background-size: cover !important;
	-o-background-size: cover !important;
	background-size: cover !important;
}

Hi i tried and i don’t think it has made a difference,

i want the background to be all cover with the image so i guess it has to repeat??

Hi Cecile,

This is what I mean,

Without background cover:

With background cover:

Do you see the difference in the background?

It was only a suggestion, is no big deal that it doesn’t work.

I see- i cannot see like this on my screen maybe smaller than yours? looks much better !

I put the code can you see the difference? i cannot on my screen.
thank you ??

No, it’s still the same. If you scroll down your site, do you see that the background starts over again?

Sorry that it doesn’t work. I’m not sure why. It should work if you add the code to your CSS file.

After all, it’s not that big of a deal.
