I went to edit my wp-config.php file. I downloaded it and renamed the original. Apparently that was a bad idea. How can I get everything back to normal?
Change whatever you called it back to wp-config.php and if your host is caching your site then try to clear the cache by logging into your hosting account. Before doing that though, use a different browser or use your preferred browser in incognito mode to ensure you’re making a fresh request to the site.
If you renamed it to something like wp-config-old.php did you upload a new version with your changes with the original name? Otherwise what was the point?
Just download and keep the original as a replacement copy and make your changes in the current file.
So rename it back (via FTP or your host’s file manager)? What error are you seeing?
