In wp-config, when we define WP_HOME, how do we find our URL to point it to?

(Via instructions in Migrating WordPress from Local to Live Server)

I'm not sure what the URL would be if I were doing this on my own? How did Zac define that URL and where would I know to look if it were my own site?

the url you'd use is the url of your own website. All it is doing is replacing localhost by (for example) yoursite.com. As mentioned in the video: don't forget to add http:// to the url.

Hope this helps!
