Editing Site URL Problem

  • Hello, I have just recently discovered that I have made a critical mistake. I changed the site url of my website and now everything is completely messed up. I have no idea how to access the admin page or even fix it with phpmyadmin. Im not too sure whether I should use that or get help from my actual hosting company (hostgator.com). I hope everything is fine because I spent countless hours trying to design the website.

    P.S. If anyone knows where to learn all of the basics of web designing please link it in here as well. I would not want to make another critical mistake like this one.

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

  • If you are familiar with Database then you can undo the site URL that you have changed from the backend.

    Follow the steps to change the site URL:

    • Go to the database
    • Find table with the name wp_options where wp is the default prefix, then make sure that you have the default prefix.
    • Find option_name column with siteurl and home key that holds your website URL in option_value column.
    • Change the desired URL that you want and that’s it.

    Hope this helps.

    @jogesh_pi I understand what youre talking about because I have seen youtube videos about it as well. However, the only tabs I see are (information_schema, mysql, performance_schema, phpadmin, and test–which has does not have any tables in the database). Im not sure whats going but everyone seems to have “wp_” tab where I dont.

    you can find the database name in the wp-config.php file. You need to find DB_NAME.

    
define( 'DB_NAME', 'database_name_here' );

    The next step is to click on the phpmyadmin into the cPanel.
    And you should see the database.

    Then you should follow the previous instructions.
