You might run into a few issues such as:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Domain name isn&#8217;t resolving to the new account yet.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Images or themes don\u2019t show up, just the text.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Issues logging into the Administrator Panel, because logging in wants to take me to a url with my domain name in it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How can I change my settings to allow me to view my WordPress Blog before my domain name resolves?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Changing to the temp URL<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are a few cases where you might need to go in and change a URL in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/in\/wordpress\/wordpress-hosting\">WordPress<\/a> database.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My domain name isn&#8217;t resolving to my new account yet, so I have to visit my WordPress install with a URL like http:\/\/box###.temp.domains\/~username\/. I don&#8217;t get any images or themes to show up, just the text.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I also can&#8217;t log into my Administrator Panel, because logging in wants to take me to a URL with my domain name in it. How can I change my settings to allow me to view my WordPress blog before my domain name resolves?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The URL appears like http:\/\/www.domain.com\/addondomain\/ and there are no redirects in the .htaccess<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If WordPress was installed to an addon domain, then the database URL will need to be changed to something like http:\/\/www.addondomain.com<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This requires a little MySQL trick. It&#8217;s two simple edits in the database.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, make sure that your WordPress installation is complete, and you know what the name of the database is. If Fantastico installed WordPress for you, it&#8217;s likely the name of the database is something like:<\/span>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">username_wrd1<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. If you don&#8217;t know the database name, you can use the File Manager to look inside the wp-config.php file to find out its name.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4257\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"662\" height=\"137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1-1.jpg 662w, https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/1-1-300x62.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"100vw\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3.

This will display the names of the Tables to the right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8. Now there are icons to the right of the tables. The First one is called Browse. Click Browse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4263\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"362\" height=\"62\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4.jpg 362w, https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/4-300x51.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9. Next, the database entries are listed in columns and rows.

Once you&#8217;ve clicked the pencil icon, you will see your domain name listed something like this:<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">http:\/\/example.com\/<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4267\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"667\" height=\"152\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/6.jpg 667w, https:\/\/www.bluehost.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/6-300x68.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">11.

This step is crucial so you don&#8217;t make a mistake.

Once you&#8217;ve changed the URL, down at the bottom there is a Go button. Select the Go button.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>14.
