Unsuccessful URL change and site has disappeared

Give a good read of this guideline and reset your URL:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_The_Site_URL

Ok I did that by updating the wp-config.php file with these lines:

define('WP_HOME','https://www.memorablemarketing.co.uk');
define('WP_SITEURL','https://www.memorablemarketing.co.uk/admin');

The WP URL (the admin area) was then accessible at https://www.memorablemarketing.co.uk/admin but the site itself at https://www.memorablemarketing.co.uk was not. I was getting the error: ‘Directory has no index file.’ but the index.php file is there.

I checked for any references to the old domain name in my template files and couldn’t find any.

I then removed the code above from wp-config.php and the WP URL was accessible but the home URL (or any behind pages) still wasn’t.

Any further advice?
thanks

Where did you install WordPress? At memorablemarketing.co.uk/admin ?

Yes, at least that’s the URL I specified. I edit it at https://www.memorablemarketing.co.uk/admin/wp-admin. When I first built the site that was the admin link and also the home URL.

It looks like an incomplete WordPress installation. Is it a new site? If so, reinstall WordPress. If not tell us if you have a backup to restore the site?

It’s installed via ipage, and was fine until I changed home URL. I’ve been using it for about 6 weeks no probs. I haven’t backedup as files are stored in ipage file manager.

If you can restore MySQL database, it is better to go for a working fresh install and restore your database. Perhaps your host can help you with it.

Krishna thanks for your help
