Hi,
In the wp-config.php file I tried to take my site offline using dev. in front of my domain name as follows; define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://dev.daydreamingadventure.com'); define('WP_HOME', 'http://dev.daydreamingadventure.com');
but the site content is still visible on www.daydreamingadventure.com and I can't access the site via www.daydreamnigadventure/wp-admin
Help!

1,243 Pointsthanks for the response Ryan, I was watching the wp_config video and thought that was what it was telling me to do, and thought that would be useful. Oh well, I'm very new to Wordpress so will save myself the lot of hassle option!
