How to change the URL direct for the wp-login page. WordPress
- SOLVED
Hello WP People
I just had a website created in WP. I want to take this website and use it for a second website(domain name).
I am hosting the site at HostGator. I copied the WP code from the original folder inside the public-html folder to the new folder inside the public-html folder.
The second website is coming up great. Heres the problem when I attempt to login at the second website it takes me to the original website
Here what I mean
secondwebsite.com/wp-admin.php brings up the admin login. i login and then the URL automatically changes to originalwebsite.com/wp-admin
i can get into the cpanel file manager to edit the files in the secondwebsite folder.
i am pretty sure there is one line of code that i need to change from originalwebsite.com to secondwebsite.com
thanks in advance.

Andrzej answers:
add this to your wp-config.php file:
define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');
obviosuly using the new path for your website. Should do.
Andrzej comments:
@MagoryNET read carefully, his problem is he cannot access the admin panel ;). To safe dirty work with phpMyAdmin, the fastest way is set it up in wp-config.php as I postedd (overriding DB settings by that). After, you can apply changes to DB and remove the lines.
Andrzej comments:
You also need to duplicate the db same as files, not sure if you already did?
Andrzej comments:
I can try to look into your problem but need additional budget.
MagoryNET answers:
You need to login on the old page and change on wp-admin/options-general.php the url of the page to the new one - it's a change in database not in the files.
Monster Coder answers:
If you are using same database, the solution is already given by Andrzej! However, if you are going to use separate database, you need to take some trouble, as I guess you can't login to go to wp-admin/options-general.php as said by MagoryNET!
You need to go to phpMyAdmin and update the 'home' and 'site_url' field to new path in *options table after you have copied the source database.
You also have to update the guid in *posts table as the URLs will be prefixed with previous URL.
Thanks
