So I work for a very small nonprofit and was attempting to change our Wordpress homepage, but inadvertently locked myself out of the entire site by changing the Wordpress URL but not the website URL. I am not totally unable to log in, as it says the site is no longer hosted on the server and I get 404ed.
I'm trying to use FileZilla to FTP onto the server so that I can change back the URLs and regain access to the site, but the site url is <irrelevant>. Every time I try to log in, the URL reverts to <even more irrelevant> and can't connect to the server. Any thoughts on how I can FTP into the database and change the URLs back before my boss notices?

Re: Accessing Wordpress Database
The database is not exposed over FTP, so you can't do that.
The path is usually in a file called "config.php" or similar in the base of the Wordpress installation. Change the paths in that text file back and re-upload it.
