  the main domain tehnologam.com was Russian, the subdomain uk.tehnologam.com was Ukrainian. I want to remove the Russian version from the main domain and move the Ukrainian version of the site there.
  I tried to transfer only the database – it gives a database error (I created a new database, imported my database from a subdomain into it, wrote the name of the database, username and password in the config.php file).
  Now I tried to completely transfer all files and also made settings in config.php. But all internal links lead to the subdomain, including the admin part. Is it possible to somehow fix the second option? Maybe you can recommend someone else?

  To move a language-specific subdomain to the main domain, follow these steps:

  Redirect Setup: Use 301 redirects on the subdomain to point traffic to the main domain’s corresponding pages.
  Content Integration: Merge the subdomain content into the main domain, maintaining the language structure.
  SEO Adjustments: Update hreflang tags to reflect the new URL structure.
  Formal Training: If you’re unfamiliar with these tasks, formal training in SEO and domain management can provide guidance for a smooth transition.
  
  Hope this helps!
