 * Hi guys,
 * I’m sure this is just me missing something simple, but hopefully someone can 
   help.
 * I built a site using a domain reference with my hosting provider, then once ready
   to switch to the new site, I transferred the domain. This mean’t the old site
   could remain live with the old hoster, until my site was ready.
 * Prior to ‘going live’, I had to access the site via a temporary address:
 * [http://217.199.187.57/thenationalfootballcollection.org.uk/](http://217.199.187.57/thenationalfootballcollection.org.uk/)
 * Once the site went live and I transferred the domain name & changed it to point
   at my server, I changed the site address (but not WP address) to [http://www.thenationalfootballcollection.org.uk](http://www.thenationalfootballcollection.org.uk),
   and the home page worked fine and I was also able to access the admin panel, 
   but not any sub pages on the website itself. They generated an internal server
   error.
 * Am sure it’s a .htaccess issue, but as WordPress normally writes this for you,
   it means you never really learn what to do when things go wrong. So i’m a bit
   clueless with it I’m ashamed to say…
 * What do i need to do in order to have all sub pages accessible from [http://www](http://www).
   instead of [http://217.199.187.57/](http://217.199.187.57/)
 * Thanks everyone.
 * Rich

 * See [Changing_The_Site_URL](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL)
   for details of how to do this correctly.

 * Hi Esmi,
 * I can still access the site & admin panel at the moment including the general
   settings page.
 * Is there something I can do from this page?
 * From what I understand on the Changing_The_Site_URL the four methods are for 
   when the site is not accessible, in order to get it running again.
 * Thanks
