The first and most common method is to change your WordPress URL directly from within the admin dashboard. In the admin menu, go to Settings > General to access the general settings screen. You can then update the following:
A third method you can use to change your WordPress URL is directly in the WordPress database. To do this, you use phpMyAdmin (which is accessible from your MyKinsta dashboard). This is usually done as a last resort.
All of us often do demo website on different demo domains before transferring the files to the original domain. Sometimes it becomes a headache to update all the URLs in the database properly so that all the pages, links, and images work as intended.

You may want to check with your hosting provider as some have systems in place to prevent changes in your domain unless they are updated. You would also want to clear your cache if you have it enabled as that is another common cause for that issue.
My wordpress url is on my subdomain and I want to change my site url to my domain. I made the change in my admin area however, I am not seeing the effects of this change in the front end. Would I still need to rn the url replace plugin for it to work?
If the URL needs to be changed before loading the data into the new site's database, I'd recommend using the free WP Migrate DB plugin to export your database with a find/replace pair of "//localhost:8080/wordpress" and "//localhost/wordpress" (without quotes). You can then run the exported SQL file against your target site's database.
Like many WordPress administrators, you may be running several WordPress installations off of one database using various wp-config.php hacks. Many of these hacks involve dynamically setting table prefixes, and if you do end up altering your table prefix, you must update several entries within the prefix_usermeta table as well.
Most of us are familiar with WordPress domains. WordPress uses MySQL database to store its data including its site and home URLs. In some cases, we need to change the WordPress site URL in the database also.
Using the plugin itself is actually pretty straightforward. The purpose is to change your WordPress site URL, thus you need to tell it the old one and enter the new one. After that, the plugin will update your database accordingly.
Note: You should still have your website intact on your old domain. This will act as a backup as making changes to the database is risky. If something does go wrong, you can copy the website from the old domain to the new one again.
I recommend restoring the database from a backup and retrying to change the URLs using the plugin Velvet Blues Update URLs. In my experience that plugin works best. I always recommend to make a backup before manipulating your site in this manner. I hope this helps!
It is likely that all the links on the site are still configured for the localhost in the database. You will need to update those using the process above, or using your favorite file management method.
If you have updated the links with the URL, have you also reset the permalinks for the site? WordPress automatically changes links to the latest URL when the update is completed. Check out how to reset permalinks.

After migrating a WordPress site to a new URL, either to a live production site or a test development server, the new URL strings in the MySQL database need to be changed and updated in the various database tables of MySQL data.
With MySQL, you can execute raw queries both to find, replace and use it to update the URL database. This is one of the ideal ways to change the URLs if you have a very big website that needs several changes.
It is critical that you create a backup of your WordPress database before making changes. That way, if you make a mistake, you can restore your database and try again. You may want to check on the following article on how to backup your database:
If you decide to change your domain name, or perhaps have finally gotten the dot com version of your domain, it is essential that you change and update all the old URLS in the database to the new URL. If not, many links on your page and content such as images will likely be broken and not work.
If you choose to update elements of the GUID (such as the full URL), a plugin such as WP Migrate DB is a convenient and safe way to do so. It lets you run a find and replace on your database with the option to replace GUIDs or not, depending on your situation.
After I had finished installing WordPress on my Raspberry Pi I decided to move it to a different network segment and had to change its IP address, not entirely unexpectedly at this point WordPress stopped working.I discovered that when it sets itself up WordPress stores the URL for its home page and the siteurl in its database, and if these use the IP address then if that changes they need to be updated. WordPress themselves describe several different ways to do this, but I found that in this case the easiest was to simply update the URLs stored in the WordPress database.
To change the MySQL database password, see Reset admin password. Whenever the MySQL database credentials are changed, the Application Settings need to be updated.

Multisite is a powerful tool for hosting many WordPress websites under the same domain. Changing the primary domain of a WordPress multisite requires updates in several locations.

If your site uses a custom database prefix, this will impact the table names listed below. If this is the case then replace wp_ with your prefix in the following table names, or change your database prefix.
To improve the security of your WordPress database, you can change this prefix to something of your choice. It will make it harder for hackers to guess the name of your WordPress database and its tables.
The command should be run by MySQL not bash (hence the mysql at the start). I don't know why it's not working because I don't know much about using MySQL at the commandline. From what I can gather the line should be launching MySQL command prompt as the default debian user and loading the wordpress DB. But I just tested it myself and sure enough, it errors. This is not quite so tidy, but do this instead (assuming your domain name is www.yoursite.com):

Note: We've updated the written portion below, but it's worth noting up here (near the video) that we're now recommending a small change: In the step where you change the URLs in the database, use a serialized-data sensitive search/replace tool rather than a basic text editor to avoid any problems. Grab one for free from InterconnectIT.
So we are changing the URL of our site, be it the domain (.com), a directory, or a sub-domain. We need to update each reference to the old URL with the new one so our images on our posts and pages, settings, and other options work and won't break once we restore the database to the new location.
We mentioned earlier that search engines will have incorrect information after you update your permalinks structure. Unfortunately, this is beyond your control as a site owner. Search engines regularly crawl sites and will update when they find changes, so this problem will correct itself over time.
Will this redirect link EVERYTHING to my new site now? From what I understand these redirects are for internal links that are broken now because of changes with the permalink. What about an external redirect i.e. went from a wordpress.com to a self hosted site. How do I link anything that directed people to old blog, now to new blog?
I started my site on wordpress.com, and the link structure for my posts needs to be changed. I finally got it on WordPress.org, and want to change the link structure as the date is in the link and I want to remove it.
