    beyondbabe,

    To change wordpress addess you need to open your dashboard->Settings->And change WordPress address (URL) to new domain name. However, to move your website, you’ll need to move all the files and a database to new place too, and change wp-config.php according to new database info.

    You should move the files and database first, make sure new domain name is operational and only then change website url.

    Thank you, arkgroup! I’ll give it a go.
    The files are already at a new location. They all have the http://www.OldWPsite.com name.
    I have been redirecting but the redirect messes with my Google analytics.
    I’ll let you know if this works for me.
