Hello. Hope everyone is doing alright!
I’m pretty new to WordPress and I just started last year. I have a site with a domain name however when I type in my domain name it leads to the site but the site address is different from my domain name. I did some research and apparently, I need to download this plugin called “Search and Replace” or “Search Replace” but whenever I do I consistently get an error message. Is there any alternative way to change my site address and if there isn’t how to I download the plugin successfully?
Hi there!
**I would recommend FIRST making a backup of your website before making any changes to domains within your WordPress site. 🚨**
How is the site address different than the domain name? Is it redirecting when you go to the URL?
[Better Search and Replace]) is definitely an excellent choice if you need to update a URL throughout the database, but you’ll want to be *really* careful.
That said, is it possible that your Site Domain is set to something different?
You can find that in the WordPress dashboard under Settings > General.
