    Good news

    The site is back up and running after i got help from support

    The (main) problem was that I had registred my domain from different places, and the name servers wasn’t the same.

    Anyway, thanks ??

    If you did not move your site, but simply obtained a new domain, and you still have all of the installed WP files still residing in the same place on your server, then you likely just need to be sure your new domain name is pointed to the same folder on your server as where your WP files are. It should point to the folder that contains the wp-config.php file, as that has your database connection information in it.

    Since the new domain (vaegur.dk is the new one) was made the primary one by support, I don’t really think I can answer this (+ that I’m not very good at this “file management field”)

    I can send some more screen shots if needed?

    you changed the domain name entirely, yes? But did you actually “move” your domain, like to a new site host? Or just a new server?

    I bought a new domain name (still using the same server hosting service (or whatever it’s called))
    The new domain name was by support changed to be the primary one, while the one I had before, was changed to a redirect.

    Yet anoter question (sry for being “spammy”)

    This is from WordPress

    Changing Your Domain Name and URLs
    Moving a website and changing your domain name or URLs (i.e. from https://example.com/site to https://example.com, or https://example.com to https://example.net) requires the following steps – in sequence.

    Download your existing site files.
    Export your database – go in to mySQL and export the database.
    Move the backed up files and database into a new folder – somewhere safe – this is your site backup.
    Log in to the site you want to move and go to Settings > General, then change the URLs. (ie from https://example.com/ to https://example.net ) – save the settings and expect to see a 404 page.
    Download your site files again.
    Export the database again.
    Edit wp-config.php with the new server’s mySQL database name, user and password.
    Upload the files.
    Import the database on the new server.

    Wouldn’t that be a solution for me?

    A little “update” here:

    I contacted my webhoste support and they told me, that I need to change the URL a lot of different places.

    The thing is, that I didn’t change my URL by accident in the settings (like some have done), I bought a new domain and should apparently have done something before changing the URL…

    So my question is, does anyone know which .php files that the domain are listed in or any other good solution?
    Or should I accept the supports offer and make them fix it for 20 dollars?

    My guess is that you restored the settings to: “https://vargur.dk”
    NO trailing / and no trailing bracket )
    This cannot be correct for two reasons:
    – it does not work
    – I am unable to load “https://vaegur.dk/readme.html”

    I’m sorry, but I’m not sure if i understand what “trailing” is, could you try to explain?

    This is how it currently looks: https://imgur.com/g1sjxg5
    But even if I remove https:// there doesnt seem to be a difference… :/
