Using WordPress Admin Dashboard<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tFirst, go to Settings > General<\/b> and replace your WordPress Address<\/b> and Site Address<\/b> with your new domain name.

\n
  • The \u201cSite Address (URL)\u201d setting is the address that your visitor need to type in their browser to reach your WordPress blog.<\/li>
    \n
  • The \u201cWordPress Address (URL)\u201d setting is the address where your WordPress core files located.<\/li>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Using File Transfer Protocol (FTP)<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIf you have FTP access to the website, you can get your site back up and running quickly with wp-config.php<\/b> and functions.php<\/b> if you changed those values incorrectly in the WordPress Dashboard.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t

    Edit wp-config.php<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tYou can set the URL for your site manually in the wp-config.php file.\n

    \nAdd these lines to your wp-config.php, where \u201cexample.com\u201d is the correct location of your site.\n

    \ndefine('WP_HOME','http:\/\/example.com');<\/b><\/code>\n
    \n\ndefine('WP_SITEURL','http:\/\/example.com');<\/b><\/code>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t**This is not necessarily the best fix, it\u2019s just hardcoding the values into the source code of the site. When using this method, you won\u2019t be able to edit them on the general settings page anymore.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t

    Edit functions.php<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t
    \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
      \n \t
    1. Download a copy of the active theme\u2019s functions.php file. You can edit it in a simple text editor and reupload to the site.<\/li>
      \n \t
    2. Add these lines to the file, right after the initial “<?php” line. \n\n

      update_option( 'siteurl', 'http:\/\/example.com' );<\/b><\/code>\n
      \nupdate_option( 'home', 'http:\/\/example.com' );<\/b><\/code>\n

      \n*Remember to replace the example.com with your own URL .<\/li>\n<\/ol>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
      \n\t\t\t\t

      \n\t\t\t\t
      \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t3. Re-upload the file to your site in the same location.\n

      \n4. Load the login or admin page for a few times. The site is supposed to return.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
