Comment (by leanice):

 One of the common WordPress errors is having a problem accessing WordPress
 after changing the site URL on the WordPress general settings page. The
 first thing you need to know is that you’re not the first or the only one
 to have this issue, almost all beginners will have this issue too. In this
 guide, I will show you how you can fix the problem and how to change your
 WordPress site URL in order to be able to access your WordPress Admin
 again. The reason why you cannot change the website URL again is that the
 page where you can change the URL again is not in the right location. As
 you changed the site URL, all website URLs have been updated to the new
 one including the URL of the General settings page where you can change
 the URL. But the actual location of WordPress files is still in the old
 location, so when you try to visit WordPress admin URL you actually
 requesting a page that does not exist.
 To solve the “Can’t access WordPress after changing site URL” error you
 simply need to change the website URL and restore the old URL
