    Hi Kewin

    Hope you are doing well.

    Yes, it is possible, you can see the note on the WordPress documentation:

    https://wordpress.org/support/article/changing-the-site-url/#relocate-method

    Note: When the RELOCATE flag is set to true, the Site URL will be automatically updated to whatever path you are using to access the login screen. This will get the admin section up and running on the new URL, but it will not correct any other part of the setup. You’ll still need to alter those manually.

    Important! Leaving the RELOCATE constant in your wp-config.php file is insecure, as it allows an attacker to change your site URL to anything they want in some configurations. Always remove the RELOCATE line from wp-config.php after you’re done.

    Let us know if you need any further help on this.
    Best Regards
