    Hello all,

    I just updated my blog URL and thought that I had to purchase a site redirect afterwards, not before. Now my blog’s name has changed but it doesn’t look like I can set up a redirect from the old name.

    I tried to change the name back but it won’t let me. Please help!

  • Modify your wp-config.php file adding these lines near the top, updating the URL in these examples to your blog’s OLD URL:

    define('WP_HOME','https://www.oldurl.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','https://www.oldurl.com');

    Then finish the preparations you forgot the first time. Once you’re done, delete those two lines and you should be good.

    @writingsprint: are you talking about wordpress.COM and mattgerrardonline.wordpress.com ? if so, you’re in the wrong place; These forums are for self-hosted .org WordPress sites. Go to the WordPress.com Forums.
