How to edit Site URL and Home URL in CloudStick WordPress Manager
Overview
Your WordPress Site URL and Home URL tell WordPress where your installation lives and what address visitors use to reach your home page. You typically need to update them after moving a site to a new domain, switching from HTTP to HTTPS, or fixing a misconfigured address that breaks links and redirects.
Normally these values are buried in the WordPress admin settings or the database, but with CloudStick's WordPress Manager you can view and update both URLs directly from the CloudStick dashboard — no WordPress login and no database queries required. This guide walks you through finding the General settings section and editing each URL safely.
Your server must be connected to CloudStick and the website must be a WordPress installation. Entering an incorrect URL can make your site or its admin area unreachable — double-check the address (including http:// or https://) before saving.
Step 1: Navigate to Your Server
Start from the CloudStick Dashboard, which lists all connected servers with real-time resource usage and status.
1. Log in to CloudStick: Go to app.cloudstick.io and sign in with your credentials.
2. Open your server: Find the server hosting your WordPress website on the Dashboard. Click the Manage button on its card to open the server panel.

Step 2: Select Your WordPress Website
Inside the server panel, open the Websites list to find the WordPress site whose URLs you want to change.
1. Open Websites: In the left-hand navigation of the server panel, click the Websites icon to open the WebApp List.
2. Select your WordPress site: Find your WordPress website in the list — WordPress sites show the WordPress logo — and click on it to open the site management view.

Step 3: Open WordPress Manager
The WordPress Manager gives you direct control over your WordPress installation — core version, users, plugins, and site settings — from within CloudStick.
1. Click the WordPress Manager tab: At the top of the site management page, click the WordPress Manager tab. The Website Summary appears with the WordPress Manager section below it.
2. Scroll to WordPress Manager: Below the Website Summary card you will find the WordPress Manager with its General, Users, and Plugins tabs.

Step 4: Edit Site URL and Home URL in General Settings
The General tab lists your site's core details, including the Site URL and Home URL fields with an Edit action next to each.
1. Open the General tab: Inside WordPress Manager, make sure the General tab is selected. Scroll to the Site URL and Home URL fields below the WordPress Core Version.
2. Edit the Site URL: Click Edit next to Site URL — your WordPress site's public URL — and update the address if needed. This is the address where your WordPress files are reachable.
3. Edit the Home URL: Click Edit next to Home URL — the address of your WordPress home page — and update it if needed. For most sites this matches the Site URL.
4. Save the changes: Confirm and save each edit to apply the new URLs. CloudStick updates the values in your WordPress installation immediately.
After changing either URL, open your website in a new browser tab to confirm it loads correctly. If you switched domains or moved to HTTPS, also verify that your DNS records and SSL certificate cover the new address before saving.
