How to change a WordPress site URL ?

Sometimes you may need to change the URL of your WordPress site. when you need to change web url or shifting the server from one to another.

The URL settings are located in the application database. Fortunately, direct database modification can be avoided by using a nice function provided by the WordPress developers named "update_option".

Simply add these lines to the functions.php file of your theme:

File name : functions.php

update_option('siteurl','http://www.new-site-address.com');
update_option('home','http://www.new-site-address.com');

Then simply load your site from its new location - it should work just fine. Note that after you run your site once and you make sure it works you should delete those lines from your functions.php file. The settings are already stored in your database and should not be modified each time your site is loaded.

Moving a WordPress Site :-

You can define siteurl and home url in wp-config.php file in wordpress.

File name : wp-config.php

define('WP_SITEURL', 'http://itechtuto.com);
define('WP_HOME', 'http://itechtuto.com');

Note :- You can also change in database wp_option table. wp_siteurl and wp_home.
