Description
Hi,
I'm looking at https://build.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-admin/options-general.php?marks=30#L30
and thinking about how to improve the help string:
"The WordPress URL and the Site URL can be the same (example.com) or different; for example, having the WordPress core files (example.com/wordpress) in a subdirectory instead of the root directory."
- Since the URL's should include http/https, I believe the sample should also have that: "https://example.com)
- It would be good to elaborate a bit more on the difference between these two URL's. What about "WordPress URL is where the core files of WordPress are installed. Site URL is the URL a visitor enters in their browser in order to reach your site."
- Perhaps we should also mention here about http/https specifically?
- What about: Remember that if you want to move your site to a different domain, you'll usually need to first configure this outside of WordPress.
