This is an essential step you must always complete before making any modifications to your website. When people change URLs, they often find themselves unable to access the site at all. This can lead to your users losing confidence in you and cause major disruption.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3198 size-medium\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCAxMDAwIDgzNyIgd2lkdGg9IjEwMDAiIGhlaWdodD0iODM3IiBkYXRhLXU9Imh0dHBzJTNBJTJGJTJGZGFyd2Vub25saW5lLmNvLnVrJTJGd2ViJTJGd3AtY29udGVudCUyRnVwbG9hZHMlMkYyMDI0JTJGMDQlMkZiYWNrdXAuanBnIiBkYXRhLXc9IjEwMDAiIGRhdGEtaD0iODM3IiBkYXRhLWJpcD0iIj48L3N2Zz4=\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"backup\" width=\"300\" height=\"251\" srcset=\" \" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__paragraph\">Backup plugins from vendors such as <a href=\"https:\/\/updraftplus.com\/\">UpdraftPlus<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/solidwp.com\/backups\/\">Solid Backups<\/a> can conduct automatic backups and easily restore them in case of an error.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__h3\">Changing the WordPress URL<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__ul\">\n<li class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__listItem\"><strong>Method 1: <\/strong>Using the admin dashboard (login URL): This is done by logging into the WordPress admin control panel and browsing to the general website settings. On the page type your new URL and follow the prompts until you are asked to save your new settings.<\/li>\n<li class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__listItem\"><strong>Method 2:<\/strong> Editing the wp-config.php file: Another way to change the WordPress URL is by manually editing the wp-config.php file. Open the file using a text editor, search for code lines that contain the existing URL, replace the old URL with the new one and then save the changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__paragraph\">Note: If the URL is not defined in the file add these two lines of code near the top:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__paragraph\">define( &#8216;WP_HOME&#8217;, &#8216;<a href=\"http:\/\/yoursiteurl.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/yoursiteurl.com<\/a>&#8216; );<br \/>\ndefine( &#8216;WP_SITEURL&#8217;, &#8216;<a href=\"http:\/\/yoursiteurl.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/yoursiteurl.com<\/a>&#8216; );<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3 class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__h3\">Updating internal links<\/h3>\n<p class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__paragraph\">Always update all internal links within your website after altering the WordPress URL. Inconsistent links may confuse your site visitors and later affect your search rankings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__paragraph\">Manually change the URLs of all internal links in posts, pages, and menus to match the new URL. You may use replacement methods or plugins such as Velvet Blues Update URLs etc to simplify this process. You should update all internal links to guarantee visitors can still easily navigate the website.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__h3\">Handling redirect errors<\/h3>\n<p class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__paragraph\">Changing the WordPress URL may also result in redirect errors. Redirect errors can disrupt the user experience and damage your site\u2019s overall SEO strategy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__paragraph\">You can use online tools to detect and address redirect errors on your site.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__h3\">Updating database tables<\/h3>\n<p class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__paragraph\">The database tables contain essential info such as post content and user information. After updating your WordPress URL, make sure to modify these tables to reflect the new URL.<\/p>\n<p class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__paragraph\">To update database tables manually use your hosting control panel\u2019s database management tool to find and edit any incorrect entries. Look for tables that reference the old URL and modify them to contain the new URL instead.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__h3\">Additional considerations<\/h3>\n<p class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__paragraph\">After changing your URL, some plugins will need you to update their settings to reflect the new address. You should visit each plugin\u2019s setup and ensure that it works well with the new URL.<\/p>\n<p class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__paragraph\">Should your theme or custom code contain a hardcoded URL, manually update it with the new WordPress URL since the update methods above are ineffective for hardcoded links. Get to the theme file and any custom code added to insert the new WordPress URL over the hard-coded.<\/p>\n<p class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__paragraph\">To sum up, changing a WordPress URL may seem complicated at first, but you can easily complete the process by following this guide. Always test your site after changing and be alert for any unexpected issues. If you encounter problems, consider hiring a professional to help.<\/p>\n<p class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__paragraph\">Follow the above steps to update your WordPress URL with confidence and continue the success of your site.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__h2\">Frequently Asked Questions about changing your WordPress URL<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__listItem\"><strong>Can I change my WordPress URL without affecting SEO?<\/strong> Yes, you can change your WordPress URL without negatively affecting SEO by implementing proper redirection using 301 redirects and updating your sitemap.xml file to reflect the changes.<\/li>\n<li class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__listItem\"><strong>What should I consider before changing my WordPress URL?<\/strong> Before changing your WordPress URL, consider taking a backup of your website, informing search engines about the change via webmaster tools, and updating internal links and image URLs.<\/li>\n<li class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__listItem\"><strong>How can I fix broken links after changing my WordPress URL?<\/strong> To fix broken links after changing your WordPress URL, you can use a plugin like Simple 301 Redirects or Better Search Replace to update internal links throughout your website.<\/li>\n<li class=\"PlaygroundEditorTheme__listItem\"><strong>How do I change my WordPress URL if I can&#8217;t access the admin dashboard?<\/strong> If you can&#8217;t access the admin dashboard, you can still change your WordPress URL by editing the <code>wp-config.php<\/code> file.
