How Do I Change a Subdomain in WordPress?

Changing a subdomain in WordPress is a straightforward process, but there are a few things to keep in mind:

1. Make sure you have the correct information

The first thing to remember is that you need to have the correct information in order to change a subdomain. This includes the subdomain’s hostname (which you can find out by visiting the hostname section of your website’s domain name), the WordPress subdomain (which you can find by visiting the Settings page for your WordPress site), and the new subdomain’s hostname.

2. Check your DNS settings

If you’re changing your subdomain’s hostname, you’ll also need to check your DNS settings. Your DNS provider should be able to help you update your records so that your visitors can find your new subdomain.

3. Make sure your site is ready for the change

Once you have your information ready, you’ll need to make sure your site is ready for the change. This includes setting up a new WordPress site with the new subdomain, transferring any existing content and settings to the new site, and making any necessary adjustments to your DNS settings.

4. Change your subdomain’s name

Finally, you’ll need to change your subdomain’s name. This can be done by visiting the Settings page for your WordPress site, clicking the Names tab, and entering the new subdomain’s name.
