, 19:48, 6 September 2022→Changing the Wordpress url
Then install and use Velvet Blues (see https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-update-urls-when-moving-your-wordpress-site/) and use it to change the URLs (use https:// as a page inspection shows that this is correct)
===Another Change to the Wordpress URL and some updates ===
As root get the mysql dbase details:
mysql -p #hint: tsn
select host, user from mysql.user;
show databases;
Read mail:
less /var/mail/$(whoami)
Look in wp-config.php for dbase, user, pword etc.
cat /var/www/html/journal/wp-config.php
Back up the dbase
mysqldump --add-drop-table -h localhost -u root -p wordpress > wordpress-20220814.sql
Change settings (on https://www.edegan.com/journal/wp-admin/options-general.php)
* WordPress Address (URL)
** https://www.edegan.com/articles
* Site Address (URL)
** https://www.edegan.com/articles
Move the folder:
cd /var/www/html/
mv journal articles
Reload:
https://www.edegan.com/articles/wp-admin/options-general.php?
Fix the .htaccess file to do the permalinks
cd articles
vi .htaccess
#change 2 instances of journal to articles
Fix the links in the menu on https://www.edegan.com/articles/wp-admin/customize.php?
* Change links in menus! (2 instances - then publish)

Update wordpress
* Note that I have wordpress chown -R root:root for articles and then www-data:www-data for wp-content.
* Didn't read: https://www.edegan.com/articles/wp-admin/update-core.php?action=do-core-upgrade
Do the update
/var/www/html# chown -R www-data:www-data articles/
run update in wp-admin
* Update all the plugins
* Update themes
* Wordfence
** Update .htaccess for extended protection.
Reharden:
chown -R root:root articles/
chown -R www-data:www-data articles/wp-content/
