I created a blog at a temporary address provided by my web host.
After buying a domain, I pointed it to the nameserver but the domain always redirects to the temporary address on clicking links.
Support asked me to configure wordpress to my domain name.
I am clueless how to do this. Please help.
Thanks.
Go to your wordpress dashboard -> settings -> general and make sure that your WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) are correct!

I am having an issue where I have a Domain name from Go Daddy, and I am hosting a WP site on Amazon Web Services EC2. I have already changed the A record to so the site pulls up anytime i go to www.bemoremarketing.com. Everything works fine until I hit the home bottom on the website. At that point the IP comes up in in the address bar. Any pages i access after that will have the IPaddress/page
From what I have gathered, I may need to change something in the wp-config.php, but I am unable to find where this is. Any help is appreciated.
You need to change the Site URL.
You can do this through the Wordpress Settings at Settings > General > Wordpress Address/Site Address, or in the wp-config.php file
define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://example.com/wordpress' );
For more details see https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL.
Go to settings of wordpress. Then, change the URL as given below.
I do not know if this is still of interest but make sure you have all your pages linking to the actual www.yoursite.com
Also, make sure that your HOME link on the menu links to the www.yoursite.com instead of IP.
Changes made in the WP Settings > General are also needed.
I have fixed the same issue. My domain name is purchased from GoDaddy too. I use a raspberry pi and wordpress to build a website.
For GoDaddy.com, following this explain,
Use Forwarding with masking in your DNS management.
After changing wait for a while.
Go to your website by searching your domain name and it won't change to IP address on the address bar.
I didn't modify WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL)
I bought a domain name from GoDaddy.com. I configured it to forward to a wordpress website I am hosting on Azure. I used Wordpress VM (preconfigured) to build the web host.
Now, when I go to the domain name, it correctly forward me to the website. But, instead of showing the domain name in the browser, it shows the ip address of the machine.
Does anyone knows how to solve this problem?
I changed the wp-config.php file (WP_HOME, WP_SITEURL), I added code to funtions.php (theme), I updated the database with the new domain name with no luck. I suspect it is something with Azure.
in my case add www. between https:// and domainname.com Example https://domainname.com To ==> https://www.domainname.com
at WordPress Login to the manage and go to "Settings" > General Settings.
Change "WordPress Address" and "Site Address" to match your domain.
This is an easy fix!
Login to the manage and go to "Settings".
Change "WordPress Address" and "Site Address" to match your domain.

I have a domain, www.mysite.com, which is registered at NETWORK SOLUTIONS, LLC. and currently points to a hosted page at a 3rd party.
I have created a new wordpress page on Hostgator, and I created it using the domain www.mysite.biz.
I want to now point www.mysite.com to the new page on hostgator but without redirecting.
I believe what I need to do is:
change the www record on Network Solutions to the IP address on Hostgator.
I believe There is a plugin I can us to change the domain for all of the wordpress database.
Are these the correct steps? What is the plugin name I can use to change the domain?
Here is a plugin I've used to change a domain name in wordpress. https://wordpress.org/plugins/go-live-update-urls/
When you say you want to point www.mysite.com to your new wordpress site "without redirecting", are you saying you want to use www.mysite.com as the new domain name? If so, you're going to want to go into your account with NETWORK SOLUTIONS, LLC and enter in hostgator's nameservers. See here: Network Solution Link and here: Hostgator Link
I've got a question regarding wordpress and multiple domains. I've got two domains (.cz and .com), both pointing to the same folder. The .com domain automatically redirects to the .cz domain. I would like to change this so that the .cz domain redirects to the .com domain. I thought this can by done in my webhosting interface, however, tech support told me that I have to change it in wordpress. Can anyone help me, please?
Thanks!
Go to Settings -> General and update the WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL).
You should also set up 301 redirects to send the .com to .cz (and probably non-www to www, or vice-versa on both domains).
Do some Google searching, or search on here for tons of resources on how to do that.
Maybe this is not a pure programming question.
I moved a copy of the wordpress installation from the webhost and put into my localhost.
And then I opened the web page from the localhost. when I hit the button of Login to Wordpress admin panel, I expect the path would
http://localhost
but I got
http://www.mywebhost.com/
I don't where I have to changed on the files so everything in the Wordpress would not pointed to my localhost instead of the webhost
Read the official Moving Wordpress article, it says some steps you need to do when migrating the site like going to the Administration → Settings → General and update the values of Site address (URL) and WordPress Address (URL) to the correct domain.
If it doesn't work, you'll need to replace the content of the DB to the new domain.
