Lost Link to open admin page

MMMmm can’t you just go to: https://nhstwolvesbasketball.org/wp-login.php

Looks like it works to me…

Hi sd4madison,

You can override the setting in the database by making a small to change to your wp-config.php file. Add these 2 lines right above /* That’s all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */

define('WP_SITEURL', "https://nhstwolvesbasketball.org" );
define('WP_HOME', "https://nhstwolvesbasketball.org" );

This will give you immediate access back to your site and make it start working again.

How do I get to the wp-config.phpfile?
All I have is this URL https://nhstwolvesbasketball.org/wp-login.php?redirect_to=https://nhstwolvesbasketball.org/wp-admin/themes.php?page=custom-header&step=2&reauth=1.

Once I log-in I get the error message because the path is now

https://nhstwolvesbasketball./wp-login.php

not

https://nhstwolvesbasketball.org/wp-login.php as it should be

Note the missing .org in the first URL

I did the same thing as Sd4madison and receive the same error message. There is no where for me to login to access the admin panel.

Chris: I was able to do what you suggested by adding a line to the Notepad of the wp-config.php file. However, I am still not able to login into the admin panel.

Now, I just get this (when I got to https://bethelaugusta.org/wordpress.wp-admin/):
define(‘WP_SITEURL’, “https://bethelaugusta.org” ); define(‘WP_HOME’, “https://bethelaugusta.org” );

You need to change the urls back by using one of the methods described in this article. Changing The Site URL

The article also contains the complete instructions for the method Chris suggested.

Good info but I am lost on how to get to set #1.
How do I get access to the wp-config.php file

Note, the website was setup years ago. I am not sure where is the host.
I was granted admin rights with no backup info other then the link provided above.
Therefore, nothing is on my computer to fix.

Bethela,

In your case it should be:

define('WP_SITEURL', "https://bethelaugusta.org/wordpress" );
define('WP_HOME', "https://bethelaugusta.org" );

sd4madison,

The wp-config.php file is located in the root directory of your WordPress install. You need to use ftp or your host panel file manager to access it.

Chris
I was not given the location of the host just the admin password.
Is there a method to use the URL to track down the host or FTP

You will need to contact your host to get the ftp login information or the hosting control panel.
