 * I recently moved my site from one url to another. I missed something somewhere.
   The information in the chrome tab shows the old web name. I seem to recall when
   first setting up the site.. as in one of the first few things you do, you enter
   the name of the site… like WordPress Forum. Can this be changed? where exactly
   is this section located? I have looked at each and every “option” under the dashboard
   and can not seem to find the spot.
    You can look at the [site](http://momistabeginnings.com)
   and you will see that is says My Misty Memories in the tab.
 * please help.

 * Go to your Settings > General
 * There are a few options you can set there. I think Site Title and Tagline are
   what you may be looking for?

 * yeah i have been there. when i moved the site i messed up and mistyped the new
   url. so when i moved it it didnt show up because it thought it was at another
   url. I had to “hardcopy” the site url into the code.
 * this is what i did to make it work.
 * Edit wp-config.php
    It is possible to set the site URL manually in the wp-config.
   php file.
 * Add these two lines to your wp-config.php, where “example.com” is the correct
   location of your site.
 * define(‘WP_HOME’,’[http://example.com&#8217](http://example.com&#8217););
    define(‘
   WP_SITEURL’,’[http://example.com&#8217](http://example.com&#8217);); This is 
   not necessarily the best fix, it’s just hardcoding the values into the site itself.
   You won’t be able to edit them on the General settings page anymore when using
   this method.
 * l[ink](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL)
 * so the site works now and everything is fine as far as i can tell. but now under
   settings> general I can not change the site url or the WP address. and it still
   shows the old site name. Any suggestions?
    Thanks for the reply

 * Yeah,
 * I’ve had this before. When I move wordpress installs, I update via the database.
   So be careful.
 * Here is a post about it, that provides the SQL you need. I generally Google for
   something like this. It’ll update your settings so you can remove those 2 manual
   line from your wp-config.php.

 * If you can, take a backup of your database before attempting this.
 * HTH.
