I built a website for our company using a wordpress install. This is installed in it's own directory on our hosting account on GoDaddy. We have a domain purchased through GoDaddy added as an addon domain. When you go to OurNewSite.com you see the homepage located at OurOldSite.com/wordpress, and OurNewSite.com in the address bar. However, when you navigate to the About Us page on the site, the address bar changes back to OurOldSite.com/wordpress/about.
I've tried the answer from THIS POST here, with OurNewSite.com in the fields, but this doesn't seem to be working. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
So, this is actually what worked for me. After waiting, the link eventually updated after a few hours, but it produced an Internal Server Error. THIS ARTICLE has a list of common causes for the error I was getting on the link pages. The directions for "checking for a corrupt .htaccess file worked like a charm.

I do not have a domain yet so I want to use a temp URL to access my Wordpress site. I have installed Wordpress as normal, changed siteurl and home in the MYSQL database to the new temp url, but all i get when i visit my site is 'Not Supported'.
I had setup previously setup another account with a domain and that worked fine. I have trawled the internet and cannot find anyone who has had this problem before?
Hope you can help
I had the same issue. Turns out it’s a server configuration issue with Apache. You can confirm that is also your problem by placing an empty index.php in your home directory in the place of WP’s index.php. If you still get the error, that’s what is going on.
Here’s the Apache documentation on it:

I am currently migrating my website that was hosted on GoDaddy to an Amazon Linux instance. Everything has worked so far using elastic IP that I allocated, but I haven't been able to access other pages using the GoDaddy domain I transferred from my original website.
I have tried to change the site address/URL structure in the Wordpress settings, but I almost broke my website (TWICE!). Should I be changing one of the .htaccess files instead of the native Wordpress setting?
My elastic/public EC2 instance IP is: 52.26.232.168
The domain I would like to point to the IP is: artrantsbyaj.com.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
NOTE: I do not yet have a high enough reputation to post images yet, I apologize.
Try to refresh your permalinks:
Go to the permalink settings and save them (do not change anything, only click on save to refresh your permalink structure).
Test it and let me know if you have any problem.

I have a main portfolio site hosted through MacHighway. My hosting package allows me to have two domains. I thought I'd register a new domain to experiment with some new things. So I bought a new domain, went into my main site's cPanel, registered it as an Addon Domain, and tried to install Wordpress on it. I got Wordpress working on it just fine, but then all of the links on my main site broke. So I deleted the files for the new site to see if that would help, but all of the links on my main site are still broken. The pages all say 'file not found.' Where did I go wrong? How can I fix this? I don't care about the new site at the moment. I just need to get my main site back the way it was. Help?
This is my site.
Nevermind. I visited Settings > Permalinks and everything works again.
When I install a backup of my Wordpress site on my local MAMP server, so i can work on it and test new features etc, and I visit ANY link or do anything (including logging in) it always throws me to the actual live website.
For example, if the local address for the site is "localhost/xyz" and I type that in, it takes me to it but anything after that throws me to the actual live site.
So on "localhost/xyz", if I click on log-in or any page etc, I end up at http://www.xyz.com
This is being VERY problematic because I can't test any page or work on any page locally.
How can i go about fixing this?
If you go into your database (on MAMP) via phpmyadmin, and check the options table, make sure that the lines for siteurl and home are set to http://localhost/ and not the live site url.
My problem was solution with this http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL.
Check out these two videos that I made on transferring a WordPress site to MAMP. I think they will help you.

I have installed wordpress multisites in my directory, everything is working perfectly except the fact that the main page of the sister sites shows "Default Website Page" error and redirects me to "http://geek.thelazy.info/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi".
The error occurs only when I open geek.thelazy.info and at specific places (not on places far from here), and only when I open the main page. At all other pages say like geek.thelazy.info/devashish site works regardless of anything.
Any clues on how to solve this problem?
I think the solution is to wait for a day or two. This helped me. But, I am not sure what if there is any other workaround at the server side as well because it is not really trivial to put a live site down for 1-2 days.
