 * Hello. My site is “www.duckandsasquatch.com” and I cannot access the “wp-admin”
   part of my site. Whenever I try to go there, I get an “oops broken link” page.
   I can access “www.duckandsasquatch.com/wp-login.php” but when I attempt to log
   in I get back to the broken link page. I have been on Hiatus from this site since
   last July, and when I went back to finally start update it again, this happened.
   I have not tried to move the site or done anything else that seems to result 
   in this same problem for others, so I am not sure what I should try to do. Any
   help at all is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 * I don’t think your “Site address (URL)” is set properly in the general settings
   section of your dashboard. Your site is in a sub directory /wordpress/ and your
   index.php is in the right place (although it looks like it was moved instead 
   of copied) but your site is possibly configured to look for it in the /wordpress/
   directory.
 * So your general settings should be as follows:
    WordPress address (URL) = [http://www.duckandsasquatch.com/wordpress](http://www.duckandsasquatch.com/wordpress)
   Site address (URL) = [http://www.duckandsasquatch.com](http://www.duckandsasquatch.com)
 * Since you don’t have access to your dashboard you will have to manually go into
   your database to make these settings.
 * *Don’t forget to backup before you do any of this.

 * Thanks keesiemeijer I have fixed the problem by editing functions.php file and
   restored the site.
    Too bad that the links to all the pictures don’t work anymore
   although the actual .jpegs are still there on the site where the link indicates
   they should be. I will try to upload all the pictures again. If you have any 
   suggestions for this fix.
 * Thanks again

 * If you mean that you have problem to acces the site admin due to adress change
   then :
 * “read this carefully:
    [http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL&#8221](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL&#8221);
 * I have fixed the problem by editing functions.php file. It’s the second solution
   offered in the above link
