WordPress stores the website address in its database, and links to images, pages, scripts, and other resources may also contain the old domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If these settings are not updated correctly, you may encounter problems such as redirect loops, broken images, login errors, missing styles, or pages that continue to load from the old domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this guide, you will learn how to safely change your WordPress domain name, update the necessary settings, replace old URLs, configure redirects, and check the website after the migration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Does_Changing_a_WordPress_Domain_Mean\"><\/span>What Does Changing a WordPress Domain Mean?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Changing a WordPress domain means moving a website from one domain to another while keeping the existing WordPress installation and content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Old Domain:\nhttps:&#47;&#47;oldwebsite.com\n\nNew Domain:\nhttps:\/\/newwebsite.com<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The website&#8217;s:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Posts<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Images<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Themes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plugins<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Users<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Database<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Settings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">can remain in place while the domain name changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, WordPress and its database may still contain references to the old domain, so those references need to be updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Change_a_WordPress_Domain\"><\/span>Why Change a WordPress Domain?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are several reasons a website owner may want to change a domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Common reasons include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rebranding a business<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Changing the company name<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Moving to a shorter domain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Switching from one domain extension to another<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Using a more relevant domain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Moving from a temporary domain to a production domain<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consolidating multiple websites<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Moving from a subdomain to a primary domain<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, a business may initially use:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>examplehosting.in<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">and later move to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>examplehosting.com<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Important_Things_to_Do_Before_Changing_the_Domain\"><\/span>Important Things to Do Before Changing the Domain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A domain change can affect the entire website, so preparation is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Create_a_Full_WordPress_Backup\"><\/span>1.

convenient method for replacing URLs throughout a WordPress database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, create a database backup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then run:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>wp search-replace 'https:\/\/oldwebsite.com' 'https:\/\/newwebsite.com' --all-tables<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This command searches the database for the old URL and replaces it with the new URL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WP-CLI is particularly useful because WordPress databases can contain serialized data. A proper WordPress-aware search-and-replace operation can handle serialized values more safely than a basic text replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can preview changes before applying them with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>wp search-replace 'https:\/\/oldwebsite.com' 'https:\/\/newwebsite.com' --all-tables --dry-run<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Review the output before performing the actual replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Important_Do_Not_Use_a_Basic_SQL_Replace_Everywhere\"><\/span>Important: Do Not Use a Basic SQL Replace Everywhere<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may find SQL commands online that perform a simple string replacement across database tables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be careful with this approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WordPress plugins and themes can store serialized PHP data in the database. A basic text replacement can damage serialized data if string lengths change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this reason, WordPress-aware tools such as WP-CLI or a migration solution designed to handle serialized data are generally preferable for a complete domain replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Update_Image_URLs_After_Changing_the_Domain\"><\/span>Update Image URLs After Changing the Domain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Images are one of the most common things to check after a domain change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An image may still reference:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>https:&#47;&#47;oldwebsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image.jpg<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">instead of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>https:&#47;&#47;newwebsite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/image.jpg<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your images are missing, check:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Media Library<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Post content<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Theme settings<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Featured images<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CSS files<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plugin settings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also verify that the physical files still exist in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>wp-content\/uploads\/<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Change_the_WordPress_Permalinks\"><\/span>Change the WordPress Permalinks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After changing the domain, review the permalink configuration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Go to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>WordPress Dashboard \u2192 Settings \u2192 Permalinks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Review your existing permalink structure and click:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Save Changes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This can regenerate WordPress rewrite rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then test several pages and posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>https:&#47;&#47;newwebsite.com\/about-us\/\nhttps:\/\/newwebsite.com\/blog\/\nhttps:\/\/newwebsite.com\/contact\/<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Set_Up_301_Redirects_From_the_Old_Domain\"><\/span>Set Up 301 Redirects From the Old Domain<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the old domain previously received visitors or search-engine traffic, do not simply abandon it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Configure permanent redirects from the old domain to the corresponding URLs on the new domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>https:&#47;&#47;oldwebsite.com\/about\/<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">should redirect to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>https:&#47;&#47;newwebsite.com\/about\/<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A 301 redirect tells browsers and search engines that the page has permanently moved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whenever possible, redirect each old URL to its corresponding new URL rather than sending every page to the homepage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Example_Apache_Redirect_Configuration\"><\/span>Example Apache Redirect Configuration<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your server uses Apache, redirects can be configured using <code>.htaccess<\/code> or through your hosting control panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A simple domain-level example is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>RewriteEngine On\nRewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\\.)?oldwebsite\\.com$ &#91;NC]\nRewriteRule ^(.*)$ https:\/\/newwebsite.com\/$1 &#91;R=301,L]<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Replace the domains with your actual domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before editing <code>.htaccess<\/code>, keep a backup of the existing file.

In many cases, you can change the domain without reinstalling WordPress. You need to update the site&#8217;s URL configuration, database references, DNS, SSL, and redirects as required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Will_changing_the_domain_delete_my_WordPress_content\"><\/span>Will changing the domain delete my WordPress content?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Changing the domain itself does not normally delete your posts, pages, users, or media. However, incorrect database or file operations can cause data loss, which is why a complete backup should be created first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_need_to_change_the_WordPress_database\"><\/span>Do I need to change the WordPress database?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may need to update database values containing the old domain. Changing only the <code>home<\/code> and <code>siteurl<\/code> values may not update URLs stored elsewhere in the database.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_need_to_keep_my_old_domain\"><\/span>Do I need to keep my old domain?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the old domain has existing visitors, backlinks, indexed URLs, or other references, keeping control of it can be important so you can maintain redirects to the new domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_should_I_keep_redirects_from_the_old_domain\"><\/span>How long should I keep redirects from the old domain?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no universal period that applies to every website. For a domain migration, keeping the old domain and its redirects for an extended period helps visitors and external links continue reaching the new site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_change_from_HTTP_to_HTTPS_at_the_same_time\"><\/span>Can I change from HTTP to HTTPS at the same time?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes, but it introduces another URL change. Make sure the SSL certificate is working correctly and update internal URLs and redirects carefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_change_from_in_to_com\"><\/span>Can I change from <code>.in<\/code> to <code>.com<\/code>?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. The process is similar to any other WordPress domain change. Configure the new domain, update WordPress URLs, replace necessary database references, install SSL, and configure redirects from the old domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Changing a WordPress domain name is a manageable process when it is planned carefully. The most important steps are creating a complete backup, configuring the new domain correctly, updating WordPress&#8217;s URL settings, replacing old domain references safely, installing SSL, and creating appropriate redirects from the old domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the change, thoroughly test your website rather than checking only the homepage. Pay particular attention to images, internal links, forms, plugins, login access, email, HTTPS, and important business functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A carefully planned domain migration can preserve your existing website structure while giving your business a new web address with minimal disruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"How to Change WordPress Domain Name Changing the domain name of a WordPress website may seem like a&hellip;","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[134],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2566","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-wordpress-web-hosting","cs-entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>How to Change WordPress Domain Name?
