If you are changing the domain of your WordPress site, keep in mind you also need to change domain names within your WordPress instance. Thanks, Cyon.ch.
Some notes as a reminder for myself:
Change WordPress site URL settings
In the WordPress admin, go to Settings ? General.
Edit the two fields:
- WordPress Address (URL)
- Site Address (URL)
Set both to your new domain (e.g. https://newdomain.com)
Save changes.
If you lose access or the site breaks, you can override via wp-config.php or directly in the database (see next steps).
Update references in the database
Many internal links, images, etc. still point to the old domain. You should replace those. Options:
Use a plugin like Better Search Replace to search old domain ? new domain.
