    I want to change domain names but KEEP the Content
    I followed http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress

    Not sure if I am doing it right.

    I copied all the files from the original directory and uploaded them to the new directory where the NEWDOMAIN.COM is i also edited the OLDDOMAIN.com to have site address and blog url as NEWDOMAIN.com

    but when i check in serps it still shows up as OLDDOMAIN.COM/products

    Was there something else I need to do?

    Thanks for the help and greatly appreciated

    You’ll have to export your database and perform a search and replace action.

    Steps

    1.Export your databse from phpmyadmin
    2.Create a backup in case something goes wrong
    3.Perform a search and replace action with a software (i.e. Notepad++) and replace olddomain.com with newdomain.com
    4.Upload the new SQL file and connect your wordpress to the new DB

    Regards.
