 * You should be able to fix that fairly easily by temporarily adding some code 
   either near the top of wp-config.php or in your active theme’s functions.php:
 * Select and edit one pair of lines or the other, then temporarily place a slash
   after `/*toggle on/off*` just above them to un-comment them.
 *     ```
       /*-either-*/
       /* tell database to recognize and use http://netw8rk.com
       /** @ near top of wp-config.php /*toggle on/off*/
       define('WP_HOME','http://netw8rk.com');
       define('WP_SITEURL','http://netw8rk.com');
       /*-or-*/
       /** @ near top of wp-config.php /*toggle on/off*
       define('WP_HOME','http://www.domain.com');
       define('WP_SITEURL','http://www.domain.com');
       /*-end-*/
       ```
   
 *     ```
       /*-either-*/
       /* tell database to recognize and use http://netw8rk.com
       /** @ near top of theme functions.php /*toggle on/off*/
       update_option('siteurl','http://netw8rk.com');
       update_option('home','http://netw8rk.com');
       /*-or-*/
       /** @ near top of theme/functions.php /*toggle on/off*
       update_option('siteurl','http://www.domain.com');
       update_option('home','http://www.domain.com');
       /*-end-*/
       ```
   
 * edit: I just made the edit for you, so the above are good-to-go.

 * That is amazing – it worked!!!
 * Thank you so much for your help!!!!
 * Do I now need to delete that code or do I just leave it there?
 * Thanks again…… I felt sure I was doomed.
 * Kind regards,

 * You can leave it there, if you wish, just remove the slash from the end of `~
   ~~/*toggle on/off*/` to turn those lines back to inactive comments.
