    Dear All,

    Can someone please tell me how I change the domain name of clubactivoroadcycling to clubactivocycling which means I need all the posts and pages to be of this new domain name both are .com

    Thanks

    There is several ways to do this or solve your problem.
    1. You may export all the content from clubactivoroadcycling and import it to clubactivocycling. (WP installation is need to clubactivocycling)
    2. Apply Changing The Site URL method - http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL
    3. Or ask your hosting provider to change the domain :)

    The way I would do this for a paying client would be to use the Backup Buddy plugin, install and activate on the current website. Create a full-site backup, migrate to the new domain via FTP, click and install the site (including all posts, pages, assets, media, plugins, settings, etc.) to the new domain.

    I'm happy to walk you through it, if you decide to go this route.

    Try this
    1. Download your existing site files.
    2. Export your database - go in to mySQL and export the database.
    3. Move the backed up files and database into a new folder - somewhere safe - this is your site backup.
    4. Log in to the site you want to move and go to Settings > General, then change the URLs. (ie from http://example.com/ to http://example.net ) - save the settings and expect to see a 404 page.
    5. Download your site files again.
    6. Export the database again.
    7. Edit wp-config.php with the new server's mySQL database name, user and password.
    8. Upload the files.
    9. Import the database on the new server.
