48165	Proposal about changing URL on WP admin General Settings	felipeloureirosantos		"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:

1. 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 hidden `wp-admin/options.php`. Maybe we could still show it there, but do not allow the change.

2. In a less effective way, we could also just put a warning there. It would not be perfect, but certainly would help most users."	enhancement	closed	normal		Administration		normal	duplicate			ui, administration
