I know what the problem is. I told wordpress to recognize a different URL as my homepage. As in my example WordPress is trying to connect to other pages by using the new URL. Instead of going to http://www.brooklynlivingroomspa.com/wp-login
it’s trying
http://www.brooklynlivingroomspa.com/spa-home.php/wp-login
http://www.brooklynlivingroomspa.com/spa-home.php/wp-login does not exist and it’s a bad address anyway (notice the .php in the middle of the address).
WordPress dashboard under settings. Once I saved my changes and went to view home page I became locked out. I think there was originally an error 500 message. I was able to rename the htaccess as htaccess old, which allowed me to at least get the jumbled webpage that is up now. Still no login access though.
