Lost access to WordPress site when changing domain name
-
Hi! I am a WordPress amateur and would appreciate your help.
I recently purchased a new domain name and wanted to use it for my existing WordPress site. I tried to do so by putting the new domain name in the “WordPress Address URL” and “Site Address URL” fields in the General Settings and pressed save. I now realise that there was probably much more that I needed to do…
I now can’t access the site at all, including the WordPress admin area to change it back. I really need to restore it back to how it was (with the old domain name is fine). What do I do? Please help! :)
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there! It sounds like you have purchased the domain wollongongpresychurch.com.au and you would like to connect it to your WordPress.com Creator plan site here: https://wollongongpresychurch.wpcomstaging.com/
To do so, you may use a Domain Connection. Here are the instructions to get this set up: https://wordpress.com/support/domains/connect-existing-domain/
Let us know if that helps point you in the right direction!
