A life saving video. Better than 1000 quora or reddit posts about the same topic. Thank you so much for making such a simple, clear video about something that should be WAY easier to fix or WAY harder to do if it can literally destroy your entire wordpress. Thank you!!
It's 2021 , I accidentally changed my wordpress URL & thought that I had lost my whole project. I tried everything I can at last this video came up & you're are my savior. Thank you very much sir God Bless you 🙏
After 16 hours of stress, searching all over the Internet for answers that came up short and on CPanel for the right area to change which was like looking for a needle in a haystack, this tutorial has saved my sanity. Thank you so much for your help. I have book-marked it for future reference. This video is a great act of service to society.
Honestly though! I was so close to buying another domain name because I about gave up! I use Bluehost as my manager and it was the same exact thing! (As of 5/12/2020)
Oh my gosh I tried so many different tutorials from a dozen websites to try to fix this problem and nothing was working! I downloaded two different softwares to try to fix it and seriously just wasted 2 hours of my life and then I followed this video and it is TOTALLY FIXED!! Thank you so, so much! For those that don't use hostgator and were confused about how to find your hosting page like he's using you can go to whois.icann.org/en/lookup?name= and type in your site name to figure out your host! Mine was bluehost.com. Then you go to that site and login and you can find everything he shows you there! Thank you again, webdev maestro!
Thank u so so so much.....I am an amateur and knows nothing about this...i experimented to alter the domain name of my newly-started blog after which I felt the world around me crashing.I was literally in tears when I came upon your video...and wholla!! My site is up again....Thanks again and God Bless U......
it 2023 and this just saved me my whole work I have try reading script but with this straigh video I was able to get back my website from hostinger thanks I really appreciate ❤
Bro. You are the genius. I messed up changing the domain name. Was trying to update a paid plugin that was for a different domain that I had 3 years ago. So it would not update as that plugin was registered for a different domain. So I changed my WP url to the old domain in an attempt to update the plugin and all hell broke loose. Thank you for your video. It saved me a great deal of trouble. You are a true genius. Mother Africa is proud of you 👍
waaaaaaal i owe you bigtime my man, spent more than five hours viewing video tutorials and articles with the hope of fixing my 404 error and at last i have found the doctor.Thanx so much DOCTOR Webdev Maestro

Dude, you saved my LIFE!. I followed another tutorial that told me to change it and got locked out immediately. You get my spot in heaven (if there is one).

Thank you, everything is back to normal! For everyone who wanted to remove the /index.php in the first place: Go to Dashboard>Settings>Permalinks> under "Common Settings" click " Post Name" Best

Wordpress is also stupid for not warning in big bold letters their customers that they may lose all their content if they change the URL in their settings like for real
Wow! This freaken saved my wordpress! I was trying to figure this out for like two hours after messing with the domain...going crazy...I thought I lost my wordpress. Went online as well and ran into some website called fixrunner.com wanted to charge me $49 to fix the issue. I told them no thanks and they said good luck fixing my issue. Thank god I ran into your video. Saved myself the headache and money.
IT WORKED !!! HUGE THANK YOU !!! I bought a new domain name and changed the primary domain for this new one, and I coundn't access wp-admin unti I found this video.! AWESOME YEAAAHHHHH
Thank you so much. This was so much clearer than the other videos and tutorials I looked for. You explained it in a calm and easy-to-follow manner. You are a hero! :D
Man you saved my life, I was having lot of anxiety when i changed the domain url and it showed error. I was making a website for client and changing his domain. Now I am relaxed. Love you man
OMG! you are a live saver, Great Explanation step by step, i have change an existing domain at the hostgator epanel under my package belling, and i was having the same problem that i could not login to my website and it does not allowed me to change my old domain under the packing belling; however, i followed your instruction and changed my new domain and it works perfectly, Thank you Thank you!
Thank you very much! I was given bad directions from a hosting companies blog to fix a "Too many redirects problem" and they suggested I change these url addresses in wp-admin and of course it locked me out. Thanks again for helping me get back on track!
Thank you sooo much sir. ❤️❤️❤️ I found lot of videos for getting back my site but this only works for me. From this day I'm one of your subscribers ❤️
Thank you David! My problem was not quite the same - I set up a new domain name and pointed it to my WordPress site, then did a HTTP redirect on the original domain name to the new domain. I was then unable to access my site properly - I could see only a text version and wp-admin just showed me the same text-only index page. This procedure fixed my problem however, and I can now access the site properly. Thanks again!
