How to change domain name of a site

[gstazure]

Hi,

I have a development site mysitedev.com working on easyengine. Everything is good.
Now I want to point a real domain say mysitelive.com to it.
Someone please guide, if there are a set of commands which can accomplish this. Will avoid the hassle of migrating a WP site.

Thanks a ton.

You can use WPvivid Backup Plugin. With it you can make a backup and then restore it on a clean WordPress installation with any domain easily. I tried with several plugins and WPvivid wins by a lot. Trust me. Greetings!

There is no easy way to do that. You need to create a new site and migrate your current site to it. Look at #1770.

Saúde!
