I recently had to copy over to solutioning.eu this blog from blog.solutioning.eu. I read many articles and it was really confusing. Since the database was already on the same server and the username/ password hasn’t changed once I copied all the files the site was running but there were no styles whatsoever so it looked a bit dodgy. Also the wp-admin link wasn’t working. This is due to the fact that wordpress stores the site’s URL in its database ( not like joomla or prestashop which have this defined in a configuration file ).

I could change the URL by simply changing the following in the wordpress database using PhpMyAdmin:
I opened the wp_options table and changed the siteurl and home fields to www.solutioning.eu from blog.solutioning.eu

The website was working again right after this, no hassles, not other configurations…
