    I accidently changed my URL on my wordpress template. My website was located at https://www.TakeOnEnglish.com/es but I changed it to https://www.TakeOnEnglish.com thinking it was the correct thing to do. Web designers were working on my website but I decided to do it myself.

    I have tried logging onto my FTP from FileZilla and I copied across the wordpress file to the server as it wasn’t there and I couldn’t find the functions.php folder as the theme I chose ‘boldy’ was not there on the server either.

    Please can someone give me some advice on what to do as I cannot enter the site or wordpress admin. Thanks in advance…..

    Change the urls back. See Changing_The_Site_URL for details of how to do this correctly.

    I’ve been trying that since yesterday and nothing happens…… I entered
    define(‘WP_HOME’,’https://takeonenglish.com/es’);
    define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’https://takeonenglish.com/es’);

    on the wp-config.php, there is no theme functions.php on the server…

    there is no theme functions.php on the server

    Try looking in the wp-content/themes/boldy folder.

    is there another way to change the url because I edited the folder with the code and nothing happened?

    Have you removed the 2 added lines in wp-config.php?
    Were you using any caching plugins?

    No, I added the lines, then saved and refreshed the page a few times, re-booted my computer, deleted cookies and tried again. I haven’t added any plugins to the template as I just started using it

    Remove the 2 lines from wp-config.php and add the relevant lines to your theme’s functions.php file.

    You need to access the wp-content/themes/boldy/functions.php file via FTP, yes.

    It is in the same folder as your wp-config.php file.

    I uploaded that separately…… I took over the site from the web designers so maybe that’s why it isn’t there.

    you have made a mistake with wp-config.php
    Just try the same solution and add www to your url.
    Add this code to wp-confing.php:

    define(‘WP_HOME’,’https://www.takeonenglish.com/es’);
    define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’https://www.takeonenglish.com/es’);
