changing domain versus moving and changing domain
-
Hello. I’m a little confused on switching domains for WordPress. What I want to do is change the domain name for a WordPress install but there would be no migrating/moving of files on the same server or to a different server. I’ve seen a few posts reference these links for the issue:
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Moving_WordPress
https://fizzle.co/sparkline/move-wordpress-to-another-domainHowever, where I’m confused is if the above links assume that (a) the files/database are being migrated to a new folder or host and (b) the domain name is being changed.
I’m simply changing the domain name without migrating anything. For this, is all that is required changing the “WordPress Address” and “Site Address” under “General Settings”? i.e.,
Old domain name:
Wordpress Address: https://example1.com
Site Address: https://example1.comNew domain name:
Wordpress Address: https://example2.com
Site Address: https://example2.comIs that is?
Any help would be useful.
