Changed Site URL and preview does not work (Error 404)

  • Hello guys,

    I am a newbie regarding wordpress and setting up everything.

    My hoster is EuroDNS and I used their open application source in order to install wordpress. That worked fine. Then I logged in in my dashboard and wanted to adjust the site URL, so that people can access my website when they enter my URL (without /wordpress).

    Under Settings > General I left WordPress URL as it is and changed the site URL (deleted the /wordpress part).

    After that I could not preview pages I built. I redid the step with the site URL and changed it back to xyz.com/wordpress and the preview worked again.

    Which step am I missing in order to change the site URL so that visitors can come to my website without entering the ‘wordpress’ ending to the URL?

    Many thanks,
    viksson

  • Hello,

    Make sure you have changed both WordPress Address (URL) & Site Address (URL)

    And after change the URL, try to check the Permalink setting as well.

    If that does not work, might be your hosting can provide you with some help on this.

    Thanks.
