HOW CAN I CHANGE THE DOMAIN NAME FOR MY WORDPRESS SITE?
Via phpMyAdmin
- Access phpMyAdmin via your Control Panel. For instructions, please see: Accessing phpMyAdmin for your DV server.
- Click on the MySQL database for your WordPress blog. This opens phpMyAdmin in a new browser window or tab, depending on your browser preferences.
- Click on wp-options.
- Click on Edit on the line for siteurl. Repeat this process for the home row, also found in the wp_options table.
Figure 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.
- Repeat this process for the home row, also found in the wp_options table.
- 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.
