Base URL wrongly given in Wordpress - wordpress

Ive entered the base URL wrongly in the backend and now everything loads bad. Ive tried to change it again in the backend but because the URL ist wrong, the backend also looks messed up. Is there any file where I can change it directly with a text editor? Thanks!

This has worked for me in the past: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

WordPress: Images and other assets not loading on localhost

First of all, a cordial greeting, friends! I have a problem, I am working with the design of a web page using WordPress via localhost with XAMPP. I have tried to view the project from different devices (cellphones, tablets) and by configuring the file httpd-XAMPP.config I have managed to enter the address correctly of the project.
The problem is that no image, icon, or logo that I have placed on the page loads (as seen in the attached image), the menu button does not work either.
With nothing more to add and thanking you in advance for any help you can provide, I say goodbye.
Have you checked the image path to see if it's correct?
Are you able to access the image from the full path in a browser for example
domain.com/wp-content/uploads/image.png like this?
Probable solution 1:
Most of the cases, it can be the permalink issue.
Please try to check by changing the permalink, first make it Plain Text and check, if it's not working then make it Post Name and then check. (To do it go to Admin dashboard > Settings > Permalink)
Probable solution 2:
Sometimes, if the image and CSS do not exist in the correct location then happen this kind of issue. Please check it.
Probable solution 3:
Put it in the config.php file
define('WP_HOME','yourdomain.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','yourdomain.com');
Thank you

Code needed for htaccess redirect in WordPress

I've been fixing a strange htaccess issue on my client's WP sites. I found a solution by putting the ReWrite code in the htaccess of each site and then adding a custom permalink code in permalinks and it seems to work EXCEPT for one section.
There are a total of 9 sites with this issue. All of them have a highlights plugin on the front page that's pulling story and images and displaying them on the home page and then a link that goes to the story full page. For my above permalink fix, out of the 9 sites, my fix works on 5 of them but on 4 of them in the highlights section, when you click a link I'm getting a 404.
The strange thing is, with my above fix, the highlight page still publishes, but not with my fix. For example, when you click the "fixed" link it should open as:
mysite.com/central/index.php/highlights/my-page
...but I get a 404. But all I have to do is delete the "index.php" in the above, and the page itself still works:
mysite.com/central/highlights/my-page
So what I now will do is write re-write code and put it in the root htaccess file so that when the page:
mysite.com/central/index.php/highlights/my-page
...is called it will re-write to:
mysite.com/central/highlights/my-page
...and that should fix this pesky issue. Here's the catch - I'm not good at writing code and I used my own hosting company's re-write generator to create a sample for me to see but I can't use it to generate what I need because it only generates for my domain. Since I don't know how to post code to this forum, below is a snap shot of it:
http://designerandpublisher.com/images/rewite-code.jpg
Is there a place where I can just copy and paste the URLs and it will generate the code so it looks like the above snap shot? Or is there some kind of tutorial of what / and \ and dollar signs and the periods and why they're there? I used to set up redirect code a lot simpler than this but it seems more complex now and i'm just hoping there's some kind of generator? Thanks for any assistance.
Adding the following rule should work:
RewriteRule ^central/index.php/(.*) /central/$1 [R=302]
it should turn mysite.com/central/index.php/highlights/my-page to mysite.com/central/highlights/my-page
(Change R=302 to R=301 when you are sure the redirect works)

Wget and Wordpress, keep last trailing slash

I have a Wordpress based website that I scrap using wget.
I have articles under the form
http://mydomain.com/2011/01/
once scraped becomes
http://mydomain.com/2011/01.html
I found out that when I enter
http://mydomain.com/2011/01/
in the navigator, URL gets changed to
http://mydomain.com/2011/01
which is why, I think, it is considered as a file when I call wget.
I would be very grateful if someone has some clue on how to address this.
I finally managed to get to the result I wanted, in this way:
changing my permalink structure from
/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html
to
/%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/

base URL problem

in my Drupal site
http://www.revdup.co.uk
I recently changed the domain name, I had to change a few absolute URLs and everything seems to be working fine now, except the front page, and only when I am logged in, not as a guest..
for some reason all the theme images (such as those used to build blocks appearance) are using an incorrect version of the base URL eg:
revdup.co.uk/revdup/themes/drupal_pwc010_tech/images/Block-s.png
instead of:
revdup.co.uk/themes/drupal_pwc010_tech/images/Block-s.png
I have changed the base URL variable in settings.php
Why is this only happening on one page and how can I fix it?
You'll need to explicitly clean the template cache. Go to Administrator->Themes->Selected theme->configure->Save.
This will regenerate the template cache with correct urls. Also clear the drupal cache in Admin/settings/performance.

Joomla css path

I'm having a problem whit this website i'm building - www.bodyheat.uk.com .
The first page (home) appears as i "wrote" in the css, but in the other ones the webpage it seems that the webpage cant call the css.
Anyone can help me on that?
TRICAT answered this
"You must have the base of your urls in the pages wrong because the css and js are using a relative url including the name of the page..
/joomla/index.php/templates/system/css/system.css
And obviously it should be:
/joomla/templates/system/css/system.css
The www.bodyheat.uk.com works because it doesn't have a page name behind the url."
But where I can change it? In what file? configuration? I saw what you said but dont know where to go to change it :(
THANKS ALL!!

I had this problem as well when I was creating a custom template. In the Global configurations, under SEO Settings, I turned OFF 'Search Engine Friendly URLs'. This fixed my problem.
Thanks!
