I developed a site for a client before a domain name was chosen. As a result, the URLs for the site pages look like:
http://host.mynost.net/~tempname/index.php?id=8
A domain name has now been purchased but if I click on any Wayfinder links it still uses the old path as above instead of, say:
http://domainname.com/index.php?id=8
I assume this is configured in the config.inc.php file, but I am unsure of what to change.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks!
You need to change $modx_base_url= '/' in /core/config/config.inc.php and if that is not enough - manually clean /core/cache/ folder.
Four years later, I've dealt with the same thing for a few months, and was incredibly frustrated.
An updated answer to this issue would be navigating to Settings (icon) > Context, then choosing Key > web (right click) > Update Context > Context Settings.
Change http_host (ex. localhost) and site_url (ex. http://localhost/).
Now, from the top menu Manage > Clear Cache as well as Manage > Clear Cache > Refresh URIs.
It was like finding a pot of gold.
I have a web on some super-old Modx version which I needed to temporarily set up for viewing, and I ran into this issue.
The way I changed the base URL is in the database:
table: modx_context_setting
key: site_url
This outlines how to move modx to a new location ~ which is essentially what you have done.

genereally you can get away with updating the config.inc.php & clearing the cache, but it's a good idea to go through the system setting table in the db looking for old paths, some packages do store path info in there.
