Mistake When Transferring Domains

Did you change the DNS?

You just need to go to your WordPress.COM account and change the nameservers so they point to GoDaddy – right now they are set to WordPress.COM:

https://www.whois.com/whois/liberatedtraveler.com

How can I get back into the dashboard for my www.ads-software.com site?

You could try changing those settings back – see:

https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_The_Site_URL

Otherwise you have to wait until the DNS changes – which can take from several hours up to 72 hours. Unfortunately, there’s no way to control that ?? .

Unfortunately I can’t even log in to make those changes. The only dashboard I can access is the wordpress.com one. It is my www.ads-software.com site that needs to be fixed.

Yes, I’m aware of that ?? – read that article again – you can change those settings in several ways that don’t require you to login. But you do need FTP or phpMyAdmin access to your site files/database. I think the functions file method works well – using FTP – this may help you get that set up:

I’m sorry, WPyogi. I’ll try to figure it out :).

No problem – I know these kinds of things are confusing/hard when you’re moving to a self-hosted site. FTP is really easy once you get it set up – FileZilla has lots of good info here too:

https://filezilla-project.org/

Okay, I need a little more help. I’ve downloaded FileZilla and I have access through the host. Which option should I take to change the url since there are four in the article? The first seems most doable… Thanks for all the help.

I’d actually use the functions.php file method –

What theme are you using? You’ll find your theme folder inside the themes folder here:

wp-content
    themes
       your-theme
           functions.php - THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED

Okay, I did all that, but now my site says this…
https://192.185.4.53/~mreece85/

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home1/mreece85/public_html/wp-content/themes/Nexus/functions.php on line 3

I retyped it and it worked! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! One more thing, it says I should delete the lines after logging in a couple times, but won’t that take me back to the problem I had before?

Can you paste the first 5 lines of

home1/mreece85/public_html/wp-content/themes/Nexus/functions.php

here?
