There are several reasons why you might have decided to edit your WordPress website URL. One of the most likely reasons is that you bought a new website domain. Other possible reasons include updating from HTTP to HTTPS or wanting to remove the &#8220;www&#8221; from your website&#8217;s URL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dashboard\">How to Change WordPress Site Urls From the Dashboard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The WordPress admin dashboard is the quickest and easiest way to change your WordPress site URLs. From the admin menu, go to <strong>Settings <\/strong>and select <strong>General<\/strong>. This is where you will be to update these two URLs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>WordPress Address (URL): Where your WordPress core files are stored.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Site Address (URL): The address visitors go to access your website.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, these two addresses should be the same. The only reason they would be different is if you have installed WordPress in its own directory. And the only reason you would do that is if you didn&#8217;t want WordPress to be the main platform for your website.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be careful to enter the correct URLs here. However, if you make a mistake, you can override it by editing the wp-config.php file, which we will discuss later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have changed your URLs, you may have to clear your <a href=\"https:\/\/crocoblock.com\/blog\/top-wordpress-caching-plugins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WordPress cache<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"functions\">How to Edit WordPress Website Urls Using the functions.php File<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you cannot access your website&#8217;s WordPress admin dashboard, try this method. To do this, you will first need to connect to your website using an <a href=\"https:\/\/blogvault.net\/wordpress-ftp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">FTP<\/a> client.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have connected via FTP, find your WordPress theme folder. This will likely be somewhere like <strong>\/wp-content\/themes\/your-theme-folder\/<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open function.php in a text editor, for example, Notepad, and add this code at the bottom, replacing \u201c<strong>https:\/\/yourwebsite.com<\/strong>\u201d with the website&#8217;s actual URL:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>update_option( 'siteurl', 'https:\/\/yourwebsite.com' );\nupdate_option( 'home', 'https:\/\/yourwebsite.com' );\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have done that, please save the file and upload it to your website via FTP. Now, look at your website to ensure everything is fine. If it is, you can then remove those two lines of code from the functions.php file and upload it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By using this method, the URLs are updated in the website&#8217;s database. This is because WordPress updates all the URL&#8217;s in the database whenever the functions.php file is loaded.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wpconfig\">How to Change WordPress Website Address Using wp-config.php File<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another common method for changing the WordPress site address is editing the <strong>wp-config.php file<\/strong>. Any values in this file will override the settings in the WordPress admin screens. This is why the addresses can sometimes be greyed out. It means the wp-config.php is overriding it and preventing it from being edited.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By using an FTP client, as mentioned earlier, you should be able to find your <strong>wp-config.php<\/strong> file in the root directory of the WordPress website. Open the file in a text editor such as Notepad, and add these lines above the bit that says to stop editing, making sure to replace \u201c<strong>http:\/\/yourwebsite.com<\/strong>\u201d with your website&#8217;s actual address:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>define( 'WP_HOME', 'http:\/\/yourwebsite.com' );\ndefine( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http:\/\/yourwebsite.com' );\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Save the file and upload it to your website. Then, when you view these settings via your WordPress dashboard, you should see them greyed out. You won&#8217;t be able to edit them without removing those two lines from <strong>wp-config.php<\/strong>. So, if you do want to be able to edit them from within the WordPress dashboard, remove those two lines, save the file, and upload it to your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faq\">FAQ<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"schema-faq wp-block-yoast-faq-block\"><div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1660137511435\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What is the URL of WordPress?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">The URL of WordPress is the location where your website&#8217;s WordPress files and folders are saved. So, if your website address is <strong>http:\/\/yourwebsite.com<\/strong>, and you have installed WordPress in the root directory rather than its own subdomain or subdirectory, <strong>http:\/\/yourwebsite.com<\/strong> will be the URL of WordPress.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1660137532628\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">Why are my WordPress address and site address fields greyed out?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">If the WordPress address and site address fields are greyed out, you&#8217;re being prevented from editing them due to code in the wp-config.php file.
