HELP! Wordpress redirecr problem

Discussion in 'WordPress' started by shadow007, Dec 4, 2010.

    Hi

    I am new to using wordpress and have made a huge mistake and really need some help.
    Basically I was looking at changing the site name and in the setting panel changed the existing wordpress URL and blog address URL to a different address.

    This resulted in me not getting access to the login area and I have looked at numerous tutorials on changing entries in the wp_options table in phpmyadmin.

    However when I come to click into the login area I am constantly redirected to this new URL I entered. I have looked all over and cannot see how it is still remembering this URL as I have removed it.

    Please if anyone could help with this matter I would be very grateful.

    Thanks

    Search in phpmyadmin for the url it is redirecting to and change any entries that appear. I dont know of anything else that could be causing it, unless there is something in the htaccess file

    It is in your wp_options table in your database. There are two URLs you need to change, the site URL and the blog URL.

    You don't need to do a search and replace, you can just go to that table and change it manually.

    Hi

    I have changed the two URLs in the database but it still seems to remember the previous URL that was incorrect.

    I cannot find where this value is still located. Could this be some cache problem?

    Thanks

    Are you using any cache plugins? I wouldn't think it would be related, but if you are you could rename or delete the plugin via ftp to deactivate it and give it a go then.
