Although as I learned more about it I realized it&#8217;s mostly just gathering up as much information as you can to recreate the problem and then working backwards from there.

I knew that the problem stemmed from the URLs being changed, as well as they were changed in the general settings section of the dashboard. From there, I found the new general settings link and and to search a bit to find where I could change the URL again. At this point I&#8217;ll admit I ran into a problem because I initially typed in the correct URL wrong. Once I saved the page with the incorrect URL, it lead me to another &#8220;This site can&#8217;t be reached&#8221; page. Simply going back to the page I started at didn&#8217;t work because it would revert back to the URL with a typo, so I had to re-login to my dashboard on a separate tab. Only then was I able to type in the correctly spelled URL and fix the problem.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h2>Reflection<\/h2>\n<p>Looking back, before I started this it never occurred to me that I could simply work backwards from the problem.
