Hello,

Thank you for your contacting us about changing your site URL. You can change your WordPress URL in the Dashboard (if you have access), or directly in the wp-config file by adding the following lines:
define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');

Be sure to replace example.com with your actual domain name.

If you have any further questions, feel free to post them below.

Thank you,
John-Paul

I also add the following lines; but nothing has been changed. Please make sure this is version 4.4.2.
define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');

This works with all versions of WordPress. You can also update those fields in the database in the WP_Options table.
