The site is on a remote server, no local install.

I have used phpMyAdmin, but not in quite some time.

Can I make changes to the MySQL datatabase through cPanel?

In trying to find an answer to this, I read something about changing the wordpress url and being blocked from the dashboard. The site is now live and I am worried that I’m going to mess it up, as you can tell.

Thank you for your help.

It’s not as simple as changing the options in WordPress Settings? Both the WordPress Address and the Site Address show “name.testname.com”. Do either of those need to be changed first?

Can you walk me through how to change the MySQL database?

Thanks,
Lisa

I’m building on a local server so I can’t provide a link.

I’m not familiar with setting up a robots.txt file. I would like to block all robots while in the creation phase. Could you help me with this?

Again, I thank you!

Now that the project is going forward, I have additional information. Currently, the site is hosted on their own server. They will keep this live while I’m designing a new site. The new site will be hosted externally with a hosting provider. My new question is: What’s the best way to work when I will not be able to use the existing domain name? Should I work in a subdomain of my own site?

Very helpful, thanks!

Thank you, Tim, that is really helpful!

I should have mentioned that this is a replacement site.

That’s what I used.

Is there anyone who can help with this?
