 * Hi,
    I myself have caused an error when I tried to change the path settings in
   the general settings of WordPress. Now I can not log in as admin . I tried to
   repair the database using the last backup from BackupWordpress, following the
   FAQ, but pypMyAdmin shows a syntax error. I am absolutely desperate, it is an
   official page – can anybody help? The page is [http://www.i-pa.org](http://www.i-pa.org)(
   Only the Hompage is displayed correctly)
 * Thanks a lot!!
 * JF

 * Try adding the below lines to wp-config.php
 *     ```
       define('WP_HOME','http://www.i-pa.org');
       define('WP_SITEURL','http://www.i-pa.org');
       ```

 * Hi Rajesh Soni,
    thanks lot for your support. Unfortunately, it didn´t work. 
   Your code produced an error in the php file. Look here: _[link removed]_ . I 
   chnaged it back to old wp-config.php. Still I can se the login screen (a bit 
   damaged), see here: [http://i-pa.org//webgalleries/download/Login%20screen.JPG](http://i-pa.org//webgalleries/download/Login%20screen.JPG)
   But when I try to login, I get the error, look here: [http://i-pa.org//webgalleries/download/error.JPG](http://i-pa.org//webgalleries/download/error.JPG)
 * Somehow I produced a comma instead of a dot in the path settings :-((

 * I do NOT see any errors here: _[link removed]_
 * What is the error that you received after you added those two lines?

    Please 
   don’t post any passwords or private info here (image of wp-config). It’s best
   you also remove that image from your server.
