Description
There are some support topics on WordPress forums around the world that highlight the same problem, and I hope that this could help them.
Some users have not a lot of knowledge about how WordPress works, then they just change the URL on WP admin General Settings page.
- What are they trying to do?
They want change the site URL, add https
, or just put www
on their URL.
- Which are the problems?
Besides the technical WordPress side (which might break the site), there is also the SEO problems which maybe we could describe as well.
- What are you proposing?
Maybe one of those options:
- Take out the option to users edit it on
wp-admin/options-general.php
, so they just would be able to do it on the hiddenwp-admin/options.php
. Maybe we could still show it there, but do not allow the change.
- In a less effective way, we could also just put a warning there. It would not be perfect, but certainly would help most users.
