Users can update their WordPress site from a temporary staging URL to their live domain using Mandraled's WordPress tools facility.

Instructions

  1. Navigate to your hosting package list and select your package
  2. Access the "Users" section
  3. Locate the "Site URL" and "Home" fields (currently showing format like "http://example-co-uk.staging.com")
  4. Update both fields to your live domain (e.g., "http://example.co.uk")
  5. Click "Save Settings"

Critical Note: Ensure you update the hyphens (e.g. ' - ') to periods (e.g. ' . ') when converting the temporary URL to ensure proper functionality with your live domain.
