  • Changing domains for a WordPress site

    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.

  • Coffee shortage in Blantyre

    During my recent visit to Blantyre, there was no local coffee in the shelves.

    I’ve never experienced a coffee shortage in Blantyre.

    I assume there’s not one reason but multiple reasons.

    First, it’s not the season for new beans. Off season.

    Secondly, I believe because of the lower coffee harvest in Brazil and higher prices, more coffee beans went into export.

    If you know more, let me know in the comments.

  • Thank you

    Addis ground staff is the best. Our flight was delayed due to bad weather in Chileka. We arrived at 23:45 and our connection was scheduled to leave at 0:05. In any other airport, we would have been alone and would have missed the flight. Addis ground staff did magic and we reached our connection. And even our suitcases arrived. Thank you.
