Wordpress - Can't Login As Put ww. instead of www. HELP!

keyaziz · 10-27-2009, 06:47 AM

Hi,

I accidentally put ww. instead of www. in the settings part on wordpress. It wouldn't let me resave to www. and I keep getting a "url not found" page. I can't login in as a result either as it goes straight to a not found page again.

Does anyone know how to solve this? Can I change something using my FTP?

Thanks,

Kelly

try this.

don't put w w w . Just write

Code:

yourwordpress.c0m/wp-admin

and go to the setting panel, change the URL. It might be working

Hi,

that doesn't work

even when I try to login without the www it stills says url not found.

You're going to have to dig into your database and make the change.

Using phpmyadmin - do a search, choose all your database tables and do a search for ww.yourdomain

Aww thank you just knowing I had to sort it in there made it easy enough.

All sorted.

I did that once by adding www, (comma, not dot) and it jacked everything up. Luckily it was a fresh install and I just deleted the site from my servers and reloaded it.

I looked in the phpadim area, but couldn't get it. I guess I didn't look hard enough. I thought I knew how to fix nearly everything in WP, but that one stumped me. Now I know. Thanks!

it should be inside the wp-option table

Another option is to create an add-on domain called WW. In the newly created subdirectory you can create an .htaccess file with the following content.

Code:

<Files .htaccess>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^ww.example.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.ww.example.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ "http://www.example.com" [R=301,L]

This works well on Apache web servers to redirect anyone who mistypes the URL with WW instead of WWW. You can do the same thing for other common mistakes like W or WWWW.

jamespitt · 11-13-2009, 08:57 AM

but to do that you're going to need to get the DNS setup as well - ww.example.com won't map though to example.com unless you explicitly set it up.

mojojuju · 11-13-2009, 10:19 AM

I'd just set up the ww.example.com subdomain so that it's assigned to the same folder as your Wordpress installation and go from there.

If this is a brand new Wordpress install, I'd just scrap it and start all over.

Either way, it would only take 5 minutes.
