 * Client changed their root from the WP Administration interface. The site and 
   all admin is for the most part down. Is there a way I can go in to a php file
   or the database and change the root directory back to its proper location?

 * If you are familiar with database then you can change them back
    in wp_options
   table.

 * Thanks for the name of the table. I figured that would be what was necessary.
   Further research led me to a quick edit of functions.php to get it working agin.
