alright so i have www.abc.com and i use wamp server to create a locaalhost of wp (so that i can edit b4 i upload)

now, i wanted to create a backup of the database of abc.com so that i could then import this to my localhost. to do this i changed the blog url things under the GENERAL settings of abc.com. i changed it from http:www.abc.com to http://localhost.com (i have done this before, and this step is needed to create a backup of the db to get it to work on the localhost)

now i dont know what happened and when i go to www.abc.com/wp-admin it redirects to localhost.com/wp-admin which accesses the local version of the db (which is a very old copy, like 3 months old). how do i access the wp admin section or the database file from the server of www.abc.com so that i can change it back from http://localhost.com to http://www.abc.com


dude seriously help me out, coz else my entire db is screwed!!!!!
 


you gotta go to the database itslef maybe through phpmyadmin and look for table option and change it there. There should be two entries showing the domain name, change that
 
yea but how do i access that? i cant do it from within wp as i cannot access the dashboard. so where is the db file stored on the server? under the themes folder?
 
no, you gotta do it through your cpanel hosting, forget about the wp interface for now
 
I FIGURED IT OUT!!!


log in to your hosting provider and then into phpadmin. then choose the wp table corresponding to where your stuff is stored and on the left hand side click on wp_options.... one of hte values will be 'siteurl'.... change that value to your correct value
