I installed WordPress on the temporary URL, how can I change it to my domain name?
Using the MEDIAMAKS UK WordPress Tools
If you’ve utilised MEDIAMAKS UK temporary URL and would like to update it to your own live domain, then you can easily use the MEDIAMAKS UK WordPress tools to update this. To update the temporary to the live URL:
- Head to Manage Hosting -> [select package] -> Users.
- You’ll then see the Site URL and Home fields, currently, they should have URL that looks something like http://example-co-uk.stackstaging.com.
- Simply update both of these fields to your live domain, e.g. http://example.co.uk.
- Select Save Settings.
Note: Ensure you update the hyphens (e.g. ‘ – ‘) to periods (e.g. ‘ . ‘) when updating the URL in order for the live domain to work correctly.
You should now be able to access your site at your live domain.
