HOW CAN I CHANGE THE DOMAIN NAME FOR MY WORDPRESS SITE?

Via phpMyAdmin

  1. Access phpMyAdmin via your Control Panel. For instructions, please see: Accessing phpMyAdmin for your DV server.
  2. Click on the MySQL database for your WordPress blog. This opens phpMyAdmin in a new browser window or tab, depending on your browser preferences.
  3. Click on wp-options.
  4. Click on Edit on the line for siteurl. Repeat this process for the home row, also found in the wp_options table.
    Figure 5.
  5. Enter your new blog domain name and click the Go button. For this example, we are changing the domain from http://blog.dv-example.com to http://dv-example.com.
  6. Repeat this process for the home row, also found in the wp_options table.
  7. Be sure that you rename the folder to the new URL in FTP or the File Manager. That’s it!

TIP:

Remember that your WordPress Dashboard has now changed and will be using the URL you entered in Step 6.
