The Secret Blueprint to Changing Your Domain Name Without Losing a Single Visitor
When the DNS changes have propagated, it’s time to update your site to use the new domain. In WordPress, you usually do this under Settings → General. Fill in the new domain under WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL), then save at the bottom.
Both settings should include the https:// or http:// part and not have a slash (“/”) at the end.
Depending on your hosting provider, these settings may also be located elsewhere. For example, on WordPress.com, you change your website’s primary domain in the aforementioned Upgrades → Domains.
