 * So, I was trying to change the URL by changing the general settings of my site
   and now all i get is an Error 404 message, which means I cannot log into the 
   backend anymore. I see this linked response all over this forum, but I don’t 
   understand how I can put the code in if I can’t get into the backend anymore?
   I.E. I can’t get into the general settings or find the wp-config.php…Please help!
 * And this phpadmin thing… my sites are hosted via bluehost… any tips there?

 * phpMyAdmin is available in cPanel through Bluehost.
 * Follow this guide to change the URLs back: [https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database](https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Changing_the_URL_directly_in_the_database)
