  • You can do this different ways:
    1. Directly in WP-admin dashboard
    Go to Settings->General. There will be two fields WordPress address(URL of your admin dashboard) and Site address (URL of your website)
    2. Editing your wp-config file
    Add these two lines to your wp-config.php:
    define(‘WP_HOME’,’http://yourdomain.com’);
    define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’http://yourdomain.com’);
    3. Changing your URL directly in the database

    I tried doing it in the WP-admin dashboard I changed the url to hotspotstore.co.za but this doesn’t display my site for some or other reason. It displays the following.

    Index of /

    cgi-bin/
    kevin/
    wp/

    How do I get it to show my actual site?

    Does your front page has the name index.html? If no, try to rename it to index.html. It should works.

    Regarding Kev.kdg question, I accidentally went into settings and changed a uRL now I can not log in or nothing. Is there away I can change things from the server side?

    cgi-bin
    kevin
    wp

    Don’t know if this is causing the problem and how I should change it
