Launching new website

  • Hi

    This may be a stupid question – but one I dont’ want to get “wrong”

    I’m launching a new website for a client. They currently have a Typo3 website on a different server. We’ve then created the new website on a new server where we’ve been able to update all the materiale. Now we are ready to launch the new website. So what do we do exactly? Ofcourse I’ll need to have the dns-pointed towards the new server, but what do I do with wordpress? Do I simply type in the domain under “WordPress address” and “Site address”? Or do I need to do more?

    Thanks!

  • Hi,

    If you have installed WordPress website in subdirectory, you will have to move WordPress directory in root directory. Following guide will help you to move WordPress installation from sub directory to root directory.

    If you have installed WordPress in root directory, you just need to make sure that WP_HOME and WP_SITEURL are configured correctly. Following are the steps:

    Locate wp-config.php in your WordPress installation.

    Check following two lines in wp-config.php (add these lines if they do not exist), where “example.com” is the correct location of your site.

    define(‘WP_HOME’,’https://example.com’);
    define(‘WP_SITEURL’,’https://example.com’);

    For more information, p[ease refer following WordPress codex.

    Let me know if you need further help.

    Thanks,

    Hi,

    Thanks for the answer! The website has been placed in the root directory, so it seems like the move should be simple enough ??

    Thanks again!

    Hi,

    Yes, migration should be simple then. Just change the nameservers of your Website and wait for some hours until nameservers get propagated.

    Thanks,
