I installed WordPress on the temporary URL, how can I change it to my domain name? - SIRSTEVEHQ CP

Using the SIRSTEVEHQ CP WordPress Tools

If you've utilised SIRSTEVEHQ CP's temporary URL and would like to update it to your own live domain, then you can easily use the SIRSTEVEHQ WordPress tools to update this. To update the temporary to the live URL:

  • Head to SIRSTEVEHQ CP -> Settings. 
  • 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.

WordPress settings change temporary URL to live

You should now be able to access your site at your live domain.
