After making a slight change under GENERAL – SETTINGS, my site crashed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I removed the “wp” from WordPress Address (URL) and after updating, the site crashed.\u00a0 Not cool.\u00a0 There are a few ways to fix it, but the easiest way if you have FTP access to the site is:
\n
\n1. FTP to your site and get a copy of the active theme’s functions.php<\/strong> file. Edit it in any vanilla text editor (like notepad) and upload it back to the site.<\/p>\n

2. Add these two lines to the file, immediately after the initial “<?php” line.<\/p>\n

update_option('siteurl','http:\/\/patrioticfederalist.com\/wp'<\/a>);\r\nupdate_option('home','http:\/\/patrioticfederalist.com\/wp'<\/a>);<\/pre>\n
Replace with your own URL or course.<\/p>\n
3. Upload the file back to your site, in the same location.<\/p>\n
4. Load the login or admin page a few times. The site will come back up.<\/p>\n
5. Repeat the above steps, but remove those lines. DO NOT leave those lines in there. Remove them immediately after the site is back up.<\/p>\n
