Guys

I dont know how to fix this issue 🙁
Basically, I wanted to change the URL of the logo to go to a specific page but then .., now it;s f** up!

In Setting , I changed some addresses and now the website wont work at all. I replaced the .htaccess with a standard one I found online but no luck

What else do I need to do 🙁 ??

Sharing a link here might be a good start.

What did you change and where?

If you really messed up only site address, you can open wp-config.php
and define site address as

define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘http://MYSITE.COM’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’, ‘http://MYSITE.COM’);

See Changing_The_Site_URL for details of how to do this. The functions.php method is probably better than editing wp-config.php

You know under SETTINGS, one of the submenu
it will alow you to specify the website path, right??

thats where I changed it 🙁 basically it was …domain.com/troy
and I updated to ..domain.com/troy/about

In wp-config.php
I do not see anything saying “define…..”

This is what it says:
```
/** Absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
	define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
```

What theme are you using? Where did you download it from?

By design, your chosen theme may have a different layout for a static front page as opposed to a page of recent posts.
