Move website - domain1 to domain2

Hello
I have a domain that I want to move from domain 1 to domain 2.
It is a wordpress site.
When looking at it, can I:
1 - rename the domain in the website section? domain1 to domain2
2 - change the website to whcih the database is associated.domain1 to domain2

Thanks for any guidance.

Thanks Till.

This is what I had in mind too. Forgot about changing it in the word press config as well. Thanks

But, will I need ot adjust the database as well? I ask because the database is assigned to a domain. Can I just change the domain that the database is attached to?

Thanks

Joseph

 

There is a wordpress search-and-replace tool somewhere out there. It searches the entire wordpress database for whatever you want and it replaces it with the new stuff. It works great for changing domains or paths. Just type things carefully!
PS: I think it was this: https://interconnectit.com/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/
for me their older version worked better.

 

there's a few different wp plugins for editing the db.

nothing beats using wp-cli though. faster. and does so much more.. can even completely install WP from scratch with it.
