Redirect Wordpress Site Question - HELP!

We are currently moving our new wordpress site from our dev servers to our client's live server. The live server (exampleA) is not the domain name we'd like the site to ultimately be. We want the site to ultimately have a domain name of exampleB, so we're going to have to do a redirect to make exampleA point to exampleB.

My question is, what do we need to do in order for everything referenced within worpress (pages, PDFs in page content, images, etc.) to be redirected as well? Or will they just be automatically be redirected?

Example HTML within page content:

<li><span style="font-size:12px; height:30px;">If you are presently on Version 7.0, update with the <a href="exampleA_domain_PDF_Link" target="_blank"><strong>AutoUpdate </strong></a>Feature</span></li>

After the redirect we want this a href statement to point to exampleB_domain_PDF_Link
What do we need to do in order to make sure this happens? Thanks SOOO much for your help!

  • Ok, I'm somewhat confused. Why don't you just upload the site to the live server with the exampleB domain name?

    Just add the exampleB domain name to the live server DNS that also has exampleA domain name and just upload your site straight to exampleB, therefore you don't need any redirection.

    Maybe I didn't quite understand your question. If you can clarify, that would be great. Based on my interpretation, what I posted above should work.

  • You are over-complicating this. Simply move everything over to the new domain, and setup a simple HTML redirect on the old domain to the new one.

    You'll have to edit the config files.
