: Getting a redirect to ugly beanstalk URL rather than seeing my domain name on my WordPress site, despite setting Route53 alias record I have a bunch of hosted zones set up for some GoDaddy

Posted in: #AmazonAws #Domains #Route53 #Url #Wordpress

I have a bunch of hosted zones set up for some GoDaddy domains. Also, my website is a WordPress website hosted on an Elastic Beanstalk environment.


I've imported the record sets from the GoDaddy domains into my hosted
zones
Replaced the GoDaddy nameservers with the ones from the hosted zones
Set up a "www" alias for my Elastic Beanstalk application in each of
the hosted zones


The domain names successfully redirect to my website, but the domain in the URL is still my ugly Elastic Beanstalk one instead of the set up domain name.

I'm stumped. Could this possibly be a WordPress issue?

UPDATE:

After messing around with different URL's I noticed that typing a link to a specific page on the site with one of the Domains I set up works! No elastic beanstalk domain. However, I did this with my website open in another tab while logged in as admin. The strange thing is that I wasn't logged in on the new tab so it seems the user sessions are not the same between my domains. This could just be how it works, though (I'm new to this).

The problem was changing "Site URL" to the correct URL and then clearing my browser cache.

This can be done in admin>settings>general.

no, this is not a wordpress issue. You need to open a tab incognito and navigate to your domain url after waiting 24 - 48 hours for the DNS records to propagate. This will insure google isn't using cached data to push you over to the site.

If that doen't work, you need to show us what your DNS records look like (without sensitive info of course), so that we can better diagnose your issue.
