How do I change the WordPress URL in settings

To change the WordPress address (URL) in the settings, you can follow these steps:

  1. Log in to your WordPress dashboard using your admin credentials.

  2. Once you're logged in, navigate to the "Settings" section on the left-hand side of the dashboard menu and click on "General."

  3. On the General Settings page, you'll see two fields: "WordPress Address (URL)" and "Site Address (URL)."

  4. To change the WordPress address (URL), modify the text in the "WordPress Address (URL)" field. This field specifies the location where your WordPress core files are installed.

  5. It's important to note that changing the WordPress address (URL) should only be done if you are moving your WordPress installation to a new location. If you're not moving your site, it's recommended to keep the WordPress address (URL) field unchanged.

  6. Once you've made the necessary changes, scroll down to the bottom of the page.

  7. Click on the "Save Changes" button to save the updated WordPress address (URL).

Please exercise caution when modifying the WordPress address (URL), as incorrect changes can make your website inaccessible. If you're unsure about making these changes or need to move your WordPress installation to a new location, it's recommended to consult a professional or refer to the WordPress documentation for detailed instructions.
