    Hi Everyone,

    As the title suggests I tried to change the URL in Settings > General and WordPress came up with Page 404 Not Found on everything I tried to access.

    The URL of the website was http://www.ultimateplanning.com.au/wordpress and I removed the /wordpress.

    Fast forward and I have followed the instructions to fix this problem by following the instructions from this link…https://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Changing_The_Site_URL.

    I don’t have access to Cpanel so I have modified the functions.php and added in the 2 lines below the opening <?php line. The two new lines now read:

    update_option( ‘siteurl’, ‘http://ultimateplanning.com.au&#8217; );
    update_option( ‘home’, ‘http://ultimateplanning.com.au&#8217; );

    I now get a white screen on the site with the following message:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function update_option() in /misc/36/000/141/450/1/user/web/ultimateplanning.com.au/wordpress/wp-includes/functions.php on line 2

    Can anyone help to fix this problem?? I had just finished a site for a client when I decided to try and make the change and now I’m worried I’ll have to start from scratch.

    Cheers, Sylvia
