Website is down after messing around with domain, can't access WordPress Panel

I was trying to set up my domain and now I can’t access the site at all. I had managed to set up the domain (supersonicsoda.com), but I was having issues with it because just outright typing supersonicsoda.com in Chrome’s address bar didn’t work, you had to type it fully like https://www.supersonicsoda.com. So I attempted to mess around with the addresses (changing https to http, removing the www) and now none of them work. My address is registered with NameCheap and the DNS is pointing at 000webhost. I went into the database to change wp-options back into the https version of the url but that did nothing.

I already mentioned in my original post that I did that and it didn’t work. The address in the database is https://www.supersonicsoda.com/ , which is the address that was originally working.

I did practically similar mistake (added www to the original address). Changed the right name to data base is the only solution. I bet you have a typing error or you haven´t saved the change. Perhaps you remember the right, original address wrong (for example in my case it didn’t´t have www at all).

I’ve tried every single variation of http/https, and www or not.

And I’m sure of what the original address because it’s in my history.

How long ago did you change the DNS settings ?

I was messing with it last night. Left it as https:// overnight. And now it’s been 7 hours, also using the https:// version of the url.

Why are you using https://

I don’t remember why I set it up as https:\ originally, as that was a little over a week ago. But that url is the one that had been working previously.

Make sure your configuration files for any scripts are set to http:// and that your domain is pointed properly.

I’ve checked everything in the database. How can I make sure my domain is pointed properly?

Whatever you did you fixed it :smiley:

I basically unlinked everything and started over aha, but it worked so I’m happy.
