I figured it out myself. The best way is to make a 301 Redirect by placing an .htaccess file in the www. directory (through FTP access) with the following script:

RedirectMatch 301 (.*) https://www.yournewdomain.com/

And it works.

BTW, my fault. I tried the “Giving WP its own directory” procedure and it worked. I only copied the modified index.php to the root directory, not the htaccess file, but it’s working!!! So far so good.

Thank you.

None of this is working. Make a note that my blog is already running under https://www.example.com/wordpresssite. In the root directory “www” (for Blue Host cPanel) there already is an htaccess file which I cannot replace. I tried copying the index.php file to it following the “Giving WordPress Its own Directory” instructions, but no luck. “Changing the site URL” indicates what to do if you inadvertedly changed the blog and wordpress URL in General Settings, but it’s not helpful otherwise, or maybe I’m not getting it.

Please be more specific if you can. Thank you for your help.

Thank you, all of you. I solved the problem by in fact Importing my DB contents throught the Tools-Export-Import method. I still had to reformatt all my themes (I previously had developed my own by heavily editing a standard theme…..I had to repeat a lot of that.)

I tried, but I’m still having problems.Basically, when I upload the “wordpress” directory to the new server, non all the info is transferred, meaning all pages, formatting, editings etc. that I made on my site do not get transferred to the new site. Could you be more specific please?

Thank you

Thank you very much. Your advice was spot-on, and I managed to get my site back ??
