When a site development is ready -made with WordPress- you will have to change the URL’s on the database, the easiest and quickest way would be following these steps:

# Remember to change wp_ if your table prefix is different.
UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = REPLACE(post_content, 'domain.com', 'newdomain.com');
UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = replace(option_value, 'http://domain.com', 'http://newdomain.com') WHERE option_name = 'home' OR option_name = 'siteurl';
UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace(guid, 'http://domain.com','http://newdomain.com');
UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, 'http://domain.com', 'http://newdomain.com');
UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = replace(meta_value, 'http://domain.com', 'http://newdomain.com');

# Remember to change wp_ if your table prefix is different.

UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = REPLACE(post_content, 'domain.com', 'newdomain.com');

UPDATE wp_options SET option_value = replace(option_value, 'http://domain.com', 'http://newdomain.com') WHERE option_name = 'home' OR option_name = 'siteurl';

UPDATE wp_posts SET guid = replace(guid, 'http://domain.com','http://newdomain.com');

UPDATE wp_posts SET post_content = replace(post_content, 'http://domain.com', 'http://newdomain.com');

UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = replace(meta_value, 'http://domain.com', 'http://newdomain.com');
