Hi Eliesther, I'm sorry to hear that you've lost access to your site after changing your Site Address (URL). For what it's worth, you're not the first one to do this. WordPress does make it clear that changing your Site Address or the WordPress Address URLs in: General > Settings can break your site, resulting in your inability to log into your WordPress admin area. The easiest way to fix this and restore access to your site is to reach out to your web hosting provider's support team. They should be able to restore your site very quickly. If you have a backup of your WordPress site, you can restore your site yourself from a recent backup. If neither of those options are available to you, you can follow the steps in this tutorial to change your WordPress Site URL via FTP, phpMyAdmin, or your web hosting control panel: https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-change-your-wordpress-site-urls-step-by-step/ Hope this helps!
