I have migrated a WP site from Siteground to another Siteground temporary domain using Siteground migrator. After I migrate that new site auto-redirect back to the old site.
I have updated SITE_URL and HOME from PHPmyAdmin. But after I refresh the new site those records are automatically changing back. Any method to fix this issue?
Try these.
Define the SITE_URL and HOME constants in the wp-config.php file. Changing Site URL
Rename the plugin directory so the plugins are all disabled. Might be something in one of the plugins that are changing the values.
I find SiteGround's KB quite helpful here:
https://www.siteground.com/kb/how_to_configure_wordpress_to_work_with_a_new_domain/
Also, they have a built-in URL search & replace tool in Site Tools WordPress section, which is what you will need most.

You can change the url many ways in wordpress. You can use to change the url as you understand and follow the steps as I mentioned in below,
Change WordPress URL in Admin Dashboard
Change WordPress URL in wp-config.php File
Change WordPress URL Directly in Database
Change WordPress URL With WP-CLI
Get More understanding the details, Follow the article - How to Change Your WordPress URL
Thanks!
After checking wp-config.php and site_url,home_url in wp_options table in database. Take a view on .htaccess file too. This file should look like this htaccess code
Please change the site_url from the wp_option table. There are 2 rows containing the website base url in the wp_option table. You need to change both url to the main domain url.
Thank you
I have created a WordPress site (my first) but since moving the site to a new domain all the images and pages/posts are broken and return a 404 error. Ive ran search and replace but it doesn't seem to have worked.

Manual website migration is very difficult to do. So you can transfer your website in few minutes without any issues using duplicator plugin. you just need to installed the plugin and followed the installation wizard.
you can read or watch step by step video tutorial HOW TO CLONE WEBSITE TO NEW HOST USING WORDPRESS DUPLICATOR
Go to your dashboard, log in, go to settings.
Change the following:
Site Address
Wordpress Address
Save. That should work.
did you try save permalinks some times the problem happen because permalinks need update
other point if you can go to old site and use this plugin to move your site agin
https://wordpress.org/plugins/duplicator/
It turns out there were some issues with the httpd.conf file and httpaccess files. The permalinks and database details were correct. I got this outsourced in the end so not 100% sure what the issue was but I shall update this post with more info when I get it :)
I have successfully moved a wordpress site from /test directory to the root, so now the website url looks like www.example.com. Fine.
However the admin section (wp-admin) still points to /test directory and so the url looks like www.example.com/test/wp-admin/...
How can I make it like www.example.com/wp-admin/...?
Please notice that I'm not interested in a simple redirection (now the customer is able to access the admin section with www.example.com/wp-admin, but then he's redirected to www.example.com/test/wp-admin/..., and it's not what he wants.
Thanks in advance
Everything is documented in http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
You may need to change many URLs in post/page content; if so, see https://github.com/interconnectit/Search-Replace-DB as suggested in the above Docs.
There is no need to create a new Wordpress install.
Also see http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory#Using_a_pre-existing_subdirectory_install if you want to keep core Wordpress files and folders in a subfolder, but have the site appear to be at root for the end user.
You should not move wordpress this way. Here is what you do:
Install Clean Wordpress Installation on the new domain.
(www.original.com)
Use a plugin* to make back-up on your test domain.
(www.original.com/test/)
Install plugin* on the new domain, and restore back-up from test
domain. (www.orignal.com)
Update your style.css, header.php, index.php & footer.php if it
contains hard written links to your test domain.
You cannot simply move a wordpress installation - as most entries, links etc. are stored in the database. If you move folders in your ftp they will still point to the old database. This is why you have to duplicate your site, where the database entries will be automatically updated to your new site domain. Hard written links in any theme php files will have to be updated.
Although your problem depends on how your pointers/sites are set-up in c-panel. If you have to change pointers for your directory, you might have to back-up your website and upload it to a different domain so your new site can access the restoration back-up file via http request.
*Plugins such as wp clone, duplicator.
At the moment I have a WordPress installation in a subfolder of my current site (example.com/wordpress). How do I make it so that wordpress is accessible from a subdomain?
I.e. I would like wordpress to be accessible from this address: wordpress.example.com, and that all the links, posts and pages will still work flawlessly, e.g. wordpress.example.com/my-wp-post/
If it makes a difference which host one is with, I am asking specifically about 1&1.
Thank you
I am not a big fan of video tutorials, but I used this one to successfully set up a new subdomain and install wordpress.
Here is an overview of the process
Use cpanel to create the subdomain
Download the latest version of wordpress to your local drive
Upload to subdomain folder on your host
Extract the files, and move them into the subdomain folder
Use cpanel SQL Wizard to create a new data base
Make a note of the username, db name and db password
Copy wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php in the subdomain folder
Edit wp-config.php to add the username, db name and db password
Open the URL "your-subdomain.your-domain.com/wp-admin/install.php"
Fill out the fields on the form and press "install wordpress"
After creating the a subdomain I use WP clone to create and install a backup of my live site into the new subdomain. The clone site allows me to verify updates before deploying them my public site.
Hopefully the OP has resolved this issue, but maybe this will be of use to others.
I think you have 2 options.
1) Manually:
Copy your wordpress install from the subfolder of your main domain to the subdomain's folder. Using a database editing tool (of your choice) go into the wp_options table and change the option_value of the option_name 'siteurl' and 'home'.
You might have a few other options that will need editing, but they are more often than not plugin specific.
2) A little better:
Create a new wordpress install in your subdomain. Copy your plugins, themes and uploads into it. Then, install the plugin wp-migrate-db-pro from https://deliciousbrains.com/wp-migrate-db-pro/ Use this plugin to copy the database from the subfolder install to the subdomain install. This plugin will globally search and replace the URLs and Folders for you.
I've been using this plugin for a while...and it saves me hours and hours of work.
Purchase your unique URL or subdomain or wherever you want the wordpress to live from your host provider.
wordpress.example.com
coolurl.cooltimes.com
upload Wordpress to that root. /
Or define a custom folder for it;
wordpress.example.com/partywp/
NOTE: If your looking for the free (no hosting required - though less custom website friendly) wordpress with similar URL, please use wordpress.com version and you don't need to do anything.
http://wordpress.com/ is different from http://wordpress.org/
Wordpress.com is like google blogger and you simply create an account and they give you a URL - and free blogging area with small templates. You can transfer your free wordpress.com to custom wordpress.org -- if you would like to use wordpress hosting naming convention, consult wordpress.
Added:
If you are changing the location from your original install; to a different path or location. You should then uninstall the Wordpress that is elsewhere or previous, and reinstall at where you want it to currently live to avoid any wholes or errors, etc.
So, if now it must be at: wordpress.example.com -- work with your host provider (hopefully not godaddy) locate the root to this domain, and reinstall with a fresh latest version and you should be OK. If you have further DNS issues, please try to describe your question more clearly.
I tried to move my beta Wordpress site to my live domain, and now everything's broken. I have no idea how to fix this. Here's what I did:
I had a site running at mydomain.com, but I wanted to rebuild it. So I downloaded a new installation of WordPress at mydomain.com/test and built a new theme.
I finished the new theme and was ready to move it to mydomain.com. I decided to leave everything in the subdomain for the move, so I followed these instructions.
It worked fine. Mydomain.com was displaying the new site.
Then, I stupidly decided that I wanted to rename the subdirectory from /test to /v2 (because I wanted a cleaner name and I wanted to leave /test open for testing rather than use it for my new site).
Everything broke.
I tried to change the subdirectory back to /test because the site was working with that, but everything is still broken. The theme doesn't seem to be loading. My site is not displaying any styles. My photos aren't displaying correctly. My plugins are gone.
Is there any way to fix this? Please tell me I didn't just lose 3 months of work...
This is my site.
The database,will have the url set to mydomain.com/test
you will need to update the db entries see below script
http://dan.doezema.com/2010/04/wordpress-domain-change/
Sounds like you need to update your siteurl and home values in your Wordpress Database. Log in to your cPanel and go to phpMyAdmin. From there you should be able to open your WordPress MySQL Database.
Go to your wp-options table and make sure that your siteurl (option_id 1) and home (option_id 37) values are using the correct path ie http://mcography.com/test
You may also need to update your permalinks. Even though you don't have to change any options, saving the permalinks again should refresh your .htaccess file.
