Question
Wrong domain entered - how can it get corrected?

Hi I have mistakenly added .ok instead of .uk for my domain in Wordpress Dashboard --> Settings against URL and URI fields.
Would anyone know how I can correct the domain by editing an OS file? I’m on Ubuntu.
Thanks.

Edit wp-config.php and add these two lines at the very bottom of the file: <br> <br><pre>define(‘WP_HOME’,‘http://example.com’); <br>define(‘WP_SITEURL’,‘http://example.com’);</pre> <br> <br>(replace example.com with your domain)
There are two ways to go about it, depending on your comfort level w/the command line. The easier – but longer, and, arguably, less secure – way is by installing phpMyAdmin (<i>see</i> <a href=“https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-and-secure-phpmyadmin-on-ubuntu-12-04”>How to Install and Secure phpMyAdmin on Ubuntu 12.04</a>) and editing two table entries in MySQL: (i) siteurl and (ii) home. <br> <br>On the other hand, you can read about ‘the faster’ way, here: <a href=“http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL”>Changing The Site URL | WordPress Codex</a>.
i have tried http://<IP-Address/wp-admin but that resolves to the wrong domain name with .uk extension.
