   Hi,

   I installed wordpress locally then moved online everything was fine untill i tried to post a comment, everytime when i click on the post comment button i get an error message as "Not Found

   The requested URL /home/womenofe/public_html/^http://41.135.150.201/$ was not found on this server.

   Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request." I am not sure if whether while was moving my wordpress something might have gone wrong or if there is a file that needs to be updated within my wordpress please advise

   It looks like you have not updated the site URL and home settings after the migration. Here's an article on it you may find helpful:

   Your URL should not display the IP address unless you are using that. Your site URL setting should be pointed to your domain name.

   The thing is i was using instsnt wordpress locally on my pc then expoted everything from my local to the server, i was able to find others where i needed to change the url like images,and so on but with my posts i can see that it points to an IP address instead of doamin thats why it gives an error and i dont know where to change that cause ive been searching through all my file hopng to find a place where my url ponts to ip rather than domain name but no luck, so if maybe you could help me in finding the file that needs to be changed.

   thank you

   Try a few things. Anytime you migrate a WordPress site you need to update your permalinks. Log into your dashboard and reset your permalinks. Also, verify that the Site URL is correct for your domain.
