How do I change my URL on WordPress?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 12:53 am

When you create a new WordPress site, the default URL is http://localhost/WordPress. However, you can change this to point to any other site or server, by following these steps:

1) Log into your WordPress site.

2) Click on the Settings button in the top left corner of the screen.

3) Under the “General” tab, click on the “URL” button.

4) In the “URL” field, type the URL of the site or server you want to use.

5) Click on the “Update” button.

6) Click on the “Save Changes” button to finish.

PRO TIP: If you are changing your WordPress URL, please be aware that this can affect your website in a number of ways. First, any links to your website from other websites will no longer work. Second, any bookmarks or shortcuts people have created to your website will no longer work. Finally, any RSS feeds that have been set up for your website will need to be updated to the new URL.
