+[[!meta title="How can I move a WordPress install?"]]
+WordPress saves the URL to use to access it in its configuration.
+If you move the directory you installed WordPress into or start
+using a
+[short URL](http://scripts.mit.edu/faq/14/do-cnames-work-with-the-script-service "like MY_GROUP.mit.edu")
+without first updating that URL, you may accidentally lock yourself
+out of the WordPress admin interface.
+
+To update the stored URL:
+
+1.  Wait until you’re ready to start using the new URL. In
+    particular, if you’re requesting a new hostname (like
+    MY\_GROUP.mit.edu), wait until the Scripts team contacts you to
+    tell you that the new hostname is working, and confirm that
+    http://MY\_GROUP.mit.edu/ works. If you don’t wait, you will lock
+    yourself out of the WordPress admin interface.
+2.  Log into the WordPress admin interface using the old URL
+3.  Select the “Settings” link in the sidebar
+4.  Make “Blog address (URL)” blank and change “WordPress address
+    (URL)” to the address you want to be able to access it at.
+5.  You may get a “404 Not Found” message when you save the
+    changes. This is likely not a problem, and you should see if
+    finishing the move fixes it.
+6.  Once you move the PHP scripts in AFS or your new hostname gets
+    activated, you should be able to use the new URL
+
