Re-establishing URL on a host that connects apps to domains/sites
-
I have successfully exported (Duplicator Pro) a website at chessinstitute.ca, and moved it over to test the transition at cic.shep.ca, on my hosting provider, Opalstack. Since Opalstack has you set up domains, sites and apps separately, the WordPress install is an app called ‘cic’.
My understanding of how this should work from here is that I need to:
- create the chessinstitute.ca domain and site at Opalstack and attach the ‘cic’ app to the site and domain
- re-point the DNS from our registrar to the Opalstack nameservers
At that point, the DNS should re-resolve to Opalstack; it should find the chessinstitute.ca domain and site at Opalstack, and connect to the app.
What I’m not entirely clear on is how to ensure that the site itself starts delivering pages like chessinstitute.ca/about and chessinstitute.ca/news instead of cic.shep.ca/about and cic.shep.ca/news, and so on.
Is there an additional step to “re-establish” the domain propagation using the “correct” URL? Is it as simple as just changing the site URL in WordPress’ dashboard / Settings / General, from ‘cic.shep.ca’ to ‘chessinstitute.ca’ or is there something I need to do in wp-config.php or elsewhere?
We’re in the middle of the season where parents sign up for camps, etc., so I’d like this to be as seamless as possible.
