How do I change site url to my new domain?

WordPress and some themes store configurations and URLs in serialized data, and the Search & Replace plugin does not handle those to correctly change a domain in the database.

And don’t use simple SQL change queries in the database via adminer or phpmyadmin. A simple SQL query won’t correctly handle serialized data.

See Moving WordPress « WordPress Codex for full details on moving WordPress and WordPress Serialized PHP Search Replace Tool to correctly find/replace URLs in the database.
