Im going to move my wordpress...

Hi,
Basically I have a problem, Im going to move my wordpress site from offline(localhost) to online, it now has around 500 posts and all of the links begin with http://localhost...
Does anybody know a fix I can do because my domain name I brought isnt http://localhost

Thanks

 

you can manually edit it in the options table, i'm not sure about the name of the fields, but i think there are 2 fields that needs to be updated

 

Just that?
I think there would be more too it?

 

You also need to update MySQL database, usename and password in wp-config.php.

 

Update your wp-config.php, you'll also need to go into the database, the options table and change the site URLs (theres 2 things you need to change in the database)

 

Don't forget to dump your SQL tables and upload it again on your server (I assume you have remote server)

 

Thx for the posts guys,
I managed to do it, Here is the offical guide on how to do it from wordpress
