Does anyone know what @jnashhawkins is referring to in his comment? It needs further explanation before I can follow this as an instruction.

Thanks for the response. Yes, I am running multisite.

So once I remove the plugin how do I change the URL of my site?

What do you mean by my hosting control panel may need to know about the domain being mapped?

Currently, the site is a subdomain https://www.learnerflow.co.uk/jackalcreative/

I want it to be https://www.jackalcreative.co.uk/

How do I do this?

InteraconnectIt seems complicated because I am unfamiliar with PHP. I had a look at that tool. Is this the one you mean?:

https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/

Alternatively I am going through manually and changing all localhost/wordpress to https://www.domainname.com/new_directory

This should work but how do I change the permalinks to not read localhost?

Thank you for your help ??

Hi Tada,

Thanks for your help.

Yes, that makes sense but what will happen when I upload those changes to the internet? The links will still show localhost/new_directory?

So do I need to search and replace all files to show domain_name/new_directory ? rather than localhost?

Thanks,
Jack

When I replace:

https://localhost/wordpress

with:

new_directory

It does not work. The links only work when I leave the absolute path in:

https://localhost/new_directory

Why is this? Is there some setting I need to adjust to make my wordpress install except relative links? i.e.

new_directory

?

Great. Thanks for the response. It is reassuring to know.

I have set up the site under a new folder name: localhost/new_directory

I am now going to go through changing all absolute links and replace /wordpress with /new_directory

Then when I upload this to the site it should all work fine. It is just gonna take ages to fix but thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
