There are multiple ways to change URL in WordPress.
Here’s one via wp-config.php.
define( 'WP_HOME', 'http://example.com' ); define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://example.com' ); |
If you have a redirect in Apache, comment it out.
#Redirect permanent / https://yourdomain.com/ |
This is by far the easiest way to change URL in WordPress.
If you get a WordPress “There has been a critical error on your website” error, you probably have an issue with a theme or plugin. The quickest way to troubleshoot is to rename the plugins directory since there’s no way to login. This technically disables all plugins. Rename it back to plugins and enable each plugin one by one.
Disable all plugins.
mv plugins plugins-backup |
Login and restore the plugins directory.
mv plugins-backup plugins |
Enable each plugin one by one and check if the site is broken.
Two years ago, WordPress introduced Gutenberg block editor together with the release of WordPress version 5.0. Gutenberg essentially became the default editor starting with WordPress version 5.0. While many people love the Gutenberg editor, some people hate it. If you’re one of the many people who hate the Gutenberg editor, you can simply disable it by installing a plugin called Disable Gutenberg. This plugin will revert back to the classic editor.
Once installed, you should be able to see the Classic editor.
After working with Gutenberg for so long, I forgot the speed and agility of the classic editor. It’s much faster.
