  Hi there,

  Is this on your self-hosted site?

  On self-hosted sites you need to change the domain name in the database. If you just switch it in the WP-Admin dashboard it will break your site.

  As we here on WordPress.com don’t have access to your self-hosted site’s database we’re not able to help you fix this, but you can find the WordPress.org instructions to do that here:

  If you need more help with this, please contact your hosting provider, or you can try the self-hosted forums as well.
