How To Change Your Domain Name With WordPress

Changing your domain name with WordPress is a pretty straightforward and very common task. This is an excellent option for bloggers or small business owners that want to keep things simple and don't need something too technical.

How To Change Your Domain Name With WordPress

Step 1: Log Into Your WordPress Dashboard

The first step in changing your domain name is logging into your WordPress dashboard.

Step 2: Go To Settings

Once in your dashboard, you will need to go to your settings. This can be found on the left-hand side of the page under "Tools."

Step 3: Click On General

After selecting "Settings" in the previous step, a drop-down with multiple options will appear. On the left-hand side of this drop-down, click on "General" or make sure it is highlighted.

Step 4: Change Your URL

In the middle of the page, you will want to find the two fields that contain your current URL. For most people, this will be "WordPress Address" and "Site Address." Edit these fields, so your new URL address appears in the first field. Change your Site Address to the same as your WordPress Address.

Step 5: Save Your Changes

The last step in this process is to save your changes. You may get a prompt that says, "Settings saved." If you do, select "OK" and proceed to save.

There you have it! Your new domain name will now be the same as your WordPress URL.
