  Hello, I want to get the “real” answer from the pros, as it seems there is a lot of misinformation out there.

  I want to set up and develop my wordpress blog on firstdomain.com, and then when it’s all good, edit the MySQL database so the site will work with seconddomain.com.

  So my question is: is this safe or will there be unforseen problems?

  Second question is: which database options do I need to edit for WP to be perfect on the new domain? I only see ‘option_name: siteurl’ and just wondering if there are any more.

  If this is not recommended, please say so. Thanks!

  1. We use different software here
  2. We have been instructed by staff that even if we know the answer, not to answer it.

  That’s why there are separate forums.
