How Do I Forward a WordPress Site?

WordPress is a popular content management system (CMS) that enables you to create a website or blog from scratch, or to improve an existing website. To create a new WordPress site, you first create a new WordPress site using the WordPress website builder.

Once the site is created, you need to add a few pieces of information to the site, such as a domain name and a hostname.

To forward a WordPress site, you first need to identify the domain name of the site. You can find this information by visiting the domain name registrar’s website and searching for the registration ID of the site.

Once you have the domain name, you need to find the hostname of the site. You can find this information by visiting the hostname registrar’s website and searching for the registration ID of the site.

Once you have the domain name and the hostname, you need to forward the site’s traffic to the new hostname. To do this, you first need to change the domain name registrar’s DNS settings to point the site’s traffic to the new hostname.

You can change the domain name registrar’s DNS settings by visiting the domain name registrar’s website and following the instructions provided.

Once you have changed the domain name registrar’s DNS settings, you need to configure your web browser to use the new hostname as the default destination for the site’s traffic. To do this, you first need to open the web browser’s preferences menu and set the default destination for the site’s traffic to the new hostname.

You can find the web browser’s preferences menu by clicking the menu button and selecting preferences from the list of menu options that appears.

Once you have configured your web browser to use the new hostname as the default destination for the site’s traffic, you need to configure your router to forward the site’s traffic to the new hostname. To do this, you first need to open the router’s configuration menu and select the forwarding tab.

You can find the router’s configuration menu by clicking the menu button and selecting configuration from the list of menu options that appears.

Once you have opened the router’s configuration menu, you need to enter the site’s domain name and the new hostname into the router’s forwarding configuration. You can find the router’s forwarding configuration by clicking the forward button and entering the site’s domain name and the new hostname into the forwarding configuration that appears.

Once you have entered the site’s domain name and the new hostname into the router’s forwarding configuration, you need to restart the router to apply the changes. To do this, you first need to click the restart button and then enter the site’s domain name and the new hostname into the router’s restart configuration.

Once you have restarted the router, you can test the forwarding configuration by entering the site’s domain name and the new hostname into the web browser’s address bar and clicking the go button. You should then see the site’s content displayed on the new hostname.

conclusion

To forward a WordPress site, you first need to identify the domain name of the site, the hostname of the site, and the router’s forwarding configuration. Once you have these information, you can configure your web browser to use the new hostname as the default destination for the site’s traffic, and then you can restart the router to apply the changes.
