子域上的WordPress开发站点进入错误域

Question

I am trying to set up a development site on the sub-domain development.warriorsliveon.org of warriorsliveon.org.

This is a WordPress site and I copied the plug-ins, themes, and upload folders to the new WordPress installation on the sub-domain. I also copied the database from warriorsliveon.org, did a find and replace of warriorsliveon.org to development.warriorsliveon.org.

When I go to the site , http://development.warriorsliveon.org . it either switches automatically to the follow address, or other times, lets me log into WordPress, but then goes to this address.

http://development.development.www.development.development.warriorsliveon.org/

Anyone have any ideas where I should look to resolve this issue?

I'm happy to post any code, just not sure at this point what would be useful. Any help is appreciated!

Changing the Domain Name that your Wordpress installation runs under is more complicated than just editing one or two files. The best approach is to use a tool like https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/

If you download this free tool and upload to your server then it does a batch find-and-replace across every single table in your Wordpress database.

So, for example, replace http://www.warriorsliveon.org with http://development.warriorsliveon.org

You can do a dry run and it will show you all the replaces that it will make. Once you're happy then click the "live run" button and all the changes are made.

I use this tool all the time when I am moving a site from my local machine to the live server. I also use the exact same approach when migrating a site from http to https
