Making a site live

You’ll want to change the site URL in your WordPress Dashboard to https://www.domain.com rather than wp.domain.com

In this case that should fix it. If you still have missing issues, you’ll need to do a bit of SQL work:

alrighty. Thank you for the reply and we’ll see what happens.

hmmm, that didn’t work. I just get the parked domain page for bluehost. I’ll check that link out.

well, I’ve managed to probably screw it up. Here’s what’s happened so far:

1. Changed the site url is general settings
2. set the nameservers on the host
3. changed the folder name in public_html to match the domain
4. ran the sql command on this page to swap out urls:

and nothing….in ff and chrome the old site still shows. ie just gives an error.

Here is the site:

well…time to bone up sql stuff I guess

actually that totally worked. I just had to assign the domain to the account.

Note: Ensure that the URL is changed in the general settings BEFORE moving any files on your hosting account/server. This makes the process much simpler ??
