How to Change Domain Name in WordPress

Question : Should I duplicate the database before copying WordPress files to the new domain and connecting to the wp-config file? Is it also necessary to put my old domain in maintenance mode during this process?

This really helped point me in the right direction, thank you so very much for this

Hey, could you suggest how to migrate a new WP site (developed on a subdomain) to replace the currently running website on the main domain without loosing SEO. Thanks!

naam kya hai ?

Why is this such a long complicated process that involves copying files etc? In other hosts like Flywheel all you have to do is add a new domain and set it as the primary domain and their system updates the database site URL settings and there is no need to copy files or deal with any of that? Can Hostinger please just add a more simple way to change the site URL and add a new domain as the primary domain in their dashboard?

My website now works OK, but Google tutorials mentions to do a Search and Replace. Is this necessary?
I can see thousands of old domain names in the database. How is it possible for the website to work with a new domain name? Is it really enough just to change those 2 entries in wp_options?

What if i purchased the domain from a different website?

hey gorgeous! Thank you for the tutorial, it's really helpful God bless.

If you have paid plugins and other licenses, would those get transferred too?

it doesnt help at all

do you have content about create the ec2 instance and connect to ssh windows and linux, without putty

What about database?

The tutotial is outdated

clicking copy in my h-panel creates duplicate files in the same folder. Can I download the files and upload them to the new website's public_html folder?

Had to rewind 15 times to see what you did because you sped through it. You need to show exactly what you click on...for ex: click on hpanel...wtf is it? what page? how? This is supposed to be a tutorial.

In the wordpress sit address it just flunked out on me

Hey i need help i just lost acces to my website after changing the Url in wordpress. like i did it and now it wont open

Hi Team,

A stellar guide on how to transfer domains. I was looking through my hPanel and under domains only found "Subdomains", "Parked Domains" and "Redirects". The option "Add Website is missing". How can I access that?

after copying all the files and changing wordpress address and wordpress site address but when I checked wp-config file for define WP_HOME and EP_SITEURL they are not present inside file.

I have followed all the steps as you said and now my adsense isn't working 😢

this is where i will host my future website and business,
u guys r the best from the way you handle things , and the way you respect the customers. Thanks for that 💪

when i go to file manager, i have something totally different. Very bad tutorial

Hi team, ive followed this tutorial step by step but i find that after copying and changing all the required parameters including the wp-config file in our new domain public html file upon opening my newly copied website im redirected back to my old domain. Kindly assist in handling this issue.

I have a domain expiring can I renew it on hostinger or just migrate with old domain company

Sort and simple video 😀

You say change at the first and then you say purchuse. I thought it was free to change

Hi,

I changed my domain name in settings and now I cannot access the website from wordpress or undo the action. Is there a way to fix it?

Thank you

is this really going to work without changing the database URL? I found in the comment that they can't access the wordpress url after they follow your instructions and there is only 1 reason i can think of, it's because the database has no WordPress data in it.
