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,

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 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.
i recently took over a wordpress site that is a sub dormain of an eCommerce site.
i have installed it on my local wamp and i now wish to log into the wordpress dashboard.
the problem is that the once i log in to wordpress it redirects me back to the old site.
i am now trying to work out where the redirect functionality might be located.
i have already changed the base url address in the table wp_options.
within this table i changed both the siteurl and the home.
i also tried changing the wp-config.php file with the new url:
define('WP_HOME','https://yourdomain.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','https://yourdomain.com');
i would appreciate any ideas on where the redirect functionality might be located.
I'm trying to change my WordPress site's URL (without redirecting) from:
example.com/go/take/
to:
example.com/go/give/
Also, if my wordpress site is located in the /go/ folder, is it possible for me to trim /go/ ?
Thank you.
These are two separate issues.
Regarding the first issue, are you saying that you still want a user
to type in example.com/go/take, but be served the file from
example.com/go/give without changing the url? You can install the
wordpress redirection plugin to do that. You can create a 'pass
through' redirect which will do this.
Here's what you can do to run example.com from a wordpress install
in the go subdirectory:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory
I have just moved my testing development subdirectory worpdress installation to my root folder using the WP-Clone plugin.
The problem now is my main site (previously mysite.com ) shows (mysite.com/site) now. and the subdirectory is shwoing in all my links
I have tried going to settings and removed the /site from wordpress URL and Site address URL.
But it broke my site and disabled me from accessing my wp-login.php .
I fixed it by editing my wp-config.php and adding :
define('WP_HOME','https://mysite.com/site');
define('WP_SITEURL','https://mysite.com/site');
and now my website works perfectly. But it still shows mysite.com/site and i am unable to edit my URL and Siteaddress from my wp dashboard anymore.
How do I Remove my website subdirectory (/site) and still have it work and not break my site's themes and all? How do I go about this? Really really appreciate any help! Thanks!
By adding those constants to wp-config.php you're overruling any setting in the database. That's why you can't edit them in the admin panel.
So the first step is to change those constants to:
define('WP_HOME','https://domain.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','https://domain.com');
Then delete your htaccess file. (.htaccess in your root folder).
Once you've done this navigate to http://domain.com/wp-login.php
Login to your site and go to Settings -> Permalinks. Hit save which will regenerate your htaccess file.
Finally you'll need to update existing links. I'd suggest installing a plugin called 'Velvet Blues Update URLs'.
I have moved a WPMu site to a new host, and upgraded to WP 3.0.3. Things are going pretty easy, except the previous website had a different URL as the main website installation. Now that I have moved the install, I don't need the previous URL as the main site but need to make a new URl as the main site. Where do I go about changing this? I've changed the entire database by changing the previous URL to the new URL, and the wp-config is set up correctly with new URL and htaccess has no mention of it. I'm running out of places to look on where to change the URL.
Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.
