Moved wordpress files, site still refers to old domain
Evening skunks, I succeeded moving the wordpress site from the old domain to the new one, however, I cant quite figure where I need to edit so as to get all theme files to read as they would in site, that is, the login site goes to old domain. Anyone know the way around? -- Regards, Martin Gicheru|Business Development|Techweez Solutions Email ID: martin@techweez.com | Tel:254721906171 | Website: http://www.techweez.com | Skype ID: martingicheru | Twitter ID:martingicheru | Gtalk: martin@techweez.com
Dear Martin, This is a problem with absolute url reference in Wordpress. However, there is a solution to this issue. Just log in to the server and enter into the Mysql. Select the db for your wordpress site and issue the following commands: 1) UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = replace(option_value, 'http://www.old-domain', 'http://www.new-domain') WHERE option_name = 'home' OR option_name = 'siteurl'; 2) UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace(guid, 'http://www.old-domain','http://www.new-domain'); NB: Replace 'old-domain' with the initial domain where the website was pointed to, and 'new-domain' with the current domain name My m-pesa number is 0723...... for the services rendered.

You could also google for a file called searchandreplace.php used to search and replace any phrase you would like on your website On Fri, Jun 15, 2012 at 4:13 PM, Jeremy Ogembo <jeremyogembo@googlemail.com>wrote:

There are many ways to skin a cat but some are more painful:-) A simple search & replace on the mysql dumpfile should do this - the easiest way, really: sed -i.BAK 's/OLD_DOMAIN/NEW_DOMAIN/g' dumpfile, then drop the database, recreate and import the dumpfile.
