something stupid/cannot access webiste changed URL in settings/general

[rawfoodsgirl]

Okay I did something really stupid.

My website is Rawfoodsgirl.com

but I also purchased recently 2huntergirls.com so it redirects to rawfoodsgirl.com
I was in wordpress and went to settings.

I changed the I think it was on General or Writings page to show the URL to 2huntergirls.com

well ever since I did that I cannot access the website now I try to go back to rawfoodsgirl/wp-admin and it will not let me in.

I hate to go and restore from a backup because I did alot of new posts.

any suggestions?

http://rawfoodsgirl.com

You can't just change the URL in the settings because it won't change all all the URL settings in the database. Every thing you add to WordPress keeps a URL in the database to the files located on the server.

Here are the instructions from WordPress about how to properly change a site URL: https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

If you follow these instructions, you may be able to recover the site. In the meantime, if you use PHPMyAdmin, which your host should have provided access to, you can change the two fields back to the original setting directly in the database.
