Support » Fixing WordPress » Changing the domain for a site

  • I have a client whose domain address is http://www.redlandcityliving.com.au and she wants to change the site to http://www.middleagedmama.com.au.

    She has purchased the new domain and I currently have it parked on the same hosting space as the original domain. So, when you enter http://middleagedmama.com.au/ you get the site showing up under that domain.

    To change all the references throughout the site do I have to make changes in the database or anywhere else or can I simply make the changes in the General Settings re the domain?

    And is there a plugin that will automatically update all references to the new domain?

    Looking for a simple way to make this change. Thanks.

    Yes, read all that. I wondered if there was any updated information as I believe that’s been there for a long time.

    So I need to follow the part that is about a domain name change on the new server by the looks of it. Will go back to read. Was hoping I didn’t have to go through that. I’m not actually moving the site to another folder or anything, just changing the domain name for the site.

    Sorry, I meant on the same server. The site hasn’t changed and will be housed in the same place. We just want to change domain names.
