Here is how you can do it if you already have the domains added to your cPanel account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Log in to your cPanel account, then to File Manager<\/strong>. Navigate to the directory of the domain (in this case testingaddondomain.com) which you wish to redirect to a new domain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Click on the Settings <\/strong>button and make sure that you check the box “Show Hidden Files”, so you can move all the files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Click Select All<\/strong>, then click Move<\/strong>. You will need to enter a path <\/strong>to the directory where your new domain is located (in this case it’s home\/addondomain.com). Click Move Files<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Once you do that, the directory will remain empty. You need to create a new file called .htaccess<\/strong>. Press the button in the top left corner to create it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Note<\/em>: Don’t forget the dot<\/strong> in the name, as the file will not work properly without it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. When you have created the file, click on it, then click on the Edit<\/strong> button from the top menu. The system will ask you to confirm and press Edit one more time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6. Paste the following code into that file, then replace <\/strong>the olddomain.com and newdomain.com with your domain names, then save the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 7. Next, you need to find the name of your website’s database<\/strong> to make a few changes. To do that, navigate to the directory where you moved the website’s content. Find the wp_config.php<\/strong> file and click View<\/strong>. You will find your database name next to this parameter ‘DB_NAME’<\/strong> (in this case celebfre_wp746). Also, you can find your table prefix<\/strong> in this file if you scroll down. You will need it for the next step to edit the particular table, tableprefix_options<\/em>. Usually, the prefix is wp_<\/em>. In this case, it is <\/p>\n\n\n\n $table_prefix = ‘wptz_’<\/p>\n\n\n\n 8. Go back to the cPanel dashboard and find phpMyAdmin<\/strong>. Find your database by its name and select it. Find the table called wptz_options<\/em> in this case (most of the time it is wp_options<\/em> if don’t know your table prefix) and click on the name or the ‘+’ to expand it. You need to change the URLs for siteurl <\/strong>and home <\/strong>option_values<\/em>. You will need to change one option at a time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 9. To make a change, click Edit<\/strong>, put the URL of your new domain instead of an old one (in this case https:\/\/addondomain.com) and click Go<\/strong>. Do the same for the home option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 10. Check if your redirection works by typing the old domain to the browser (it should show the website and the new domain) and you are set! <\/p>\n\n\n\n In case you are having difficulties with making a redirection, you can always reach out to Servikus’ support to help you out with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For instance, you have two domains – testingaddondomain.com (old domain) and addondomain.com (new domain).
