Both options are grayed out and I’ve been trying to figure it out and can’t find the right answer. I’ve tried this article: https://wordpress.org/support/article/changing-the-site-url/ still nothing.
I’m using Elementor as my website builder if that matters. I just want it to be my website name instead of an ip address.

Elementor provides a tool to replace the URLs on your website. Follow the below steps:
That’s all.
I always use a tool like this one to change the site URL: https://github.com/interconnectit/Search-Replace-DB
What this does, is that it searches your complete database and changes every old url to the new one. You could do this manually using a query, but using this tool you make sure that serialized values won’t break.
First you should check the wp-config.php file of your WordPress installation. You probably have something like this
define('WP_HOME','http://example.com');
there.define('WP_SITEURL','http://example.com');
Once you remove that the fields shouldn’t be grayed out anymore.
If that doesn’t work maybe you are using something like Bitnami and it could be related to its configs.
