Operator Error and am Locked Out!

  • I am using Hostinger to host my WP site. At the time, it was going to make me pay for the domain name and email that were supposed to be free, so I transferred a domain that I already owned as a placeholder (MyMaineLifeMoments.com). Well, yesterday I decided to go in and bought one from Iono (KasTraChronicles.com) and want to switch it to my MyMaineLifeMoments.com site, but I messed up somewhere and now Im like locked out. I mean, I have some cognitive impairments due to a tumor, so I have been trying to fix it, but I think I am making it worse. Please help me. (I actually went into Ionos this morning and tried to redirect from KasTra.com to MyMaineLifeMoments.com….I swear, I am digging deeper every time I touch it.

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

    when I visited the URL: KasTraChronicles.com I was redirected to the URL: mymainelifemoments.com — is that the result you were hoping for? (it seems like you set up forwarding for the URL KasTraChronicles.com)

    contact your webhosting vendor support team for assistance in case there is a misconfiguration with your account and domain name(s). maybe they can help you reverse any changes that you made and start over.

    The forwarding of the domain is what I did this morning. But when you get to my site and try to get into the admin part, you can’t open anything. I screwed that up yesterday. I was going through the site changing the domain in any spot that I saw, but, I obviously did the wrong one because I can’t get in now. Thank you for checking though.

    Change URL the url using this guide: Changing the URL directly in the database

    Access phpMyAdmin on your host, then you can edit these values directly to get your site up and running again.

    1. Backup your database and save the copy off-site.
    2. Login to phpMyAdmin.
    3. Click the link to your Databases.
    4. A list of your databases will appear. Choose the one that is your WordPress database.
    5. All the tables in your database will appear on the screen.
    6. From the list, look for wp_options. Note: The table prefix of wp_ may be different if you changed it when installing.
    7. Click on the small icon indicated as Browse.
    8. A screen will open with a list of the fields within the wp_options table.
    9. Under the field option_name, scroll down and look for siteurl.
    10. Click the Edit Field icon which usually is found at the far left at the beginning of the row.
    11. The Edit Field window will appear.
    12. In the input box for option_value, carefully change the URL information to the new address.
    13. Verify this is correct and click Go to save the information.
    14. You should be returned to your wp_options table.
    15. Look for the home field in the table and click Edit Field. Note: There are several pages of tables inside wp_options. Look for the > symbol to page through them.
    16. In the input box for option_value, carefully change the URL information to the new address.
    17. Verify this is correct and click Go to save the information.
