Changing from temporary URL

    Hello helpful wordpress users.

    I’m another newbie when it comes to wordpress.

    I purchased a URL and hosting with ecohosting and chose to the 1 click install option they provided for wordpress. I had already created a website for this URL using weebly, so in order to keep it running I chose the option of using a temporary url while creating the wordpress website.

    The temporary address is http://217.199.187.63/cvupgrade.com and I now want to change it to http://www.cvupgrade.com however I have yet been unable to do so.

    If I change it in general settings I get a 404 error page or a ‘site has not been published to this url’ page. I get the same error if I edit to functions.php to point to the url I want. Both the back office and home page only work using the temp url.

    Could this be something to do with using weebly previously? which file actually makes the websites point to a specific url? I have deleted all files and tried to reinstall but that didn’t work either.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Can anyone help me? I’ve searched for hours and there doesn’t seem to be a solution. This isn’t just a case of changing the url because I know how to do that, but whenever I do I always get the 404 site not published page.

    I think this has something to do with using another website builder and switching over to wordpress hasn’t happened smoothly.
