Below are the simplified instructions taken from Moving an Existing Installation to a New Server or Location, but specific to answer your question.
Open the file wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm.settings.php in any text editor and change the value for CIVICRM_UF_BASEURL with your new domain name For CiviCRM Version 4.7 open the file
wp-content/uploads/civicrm/civicrm.settings.phpLogin into WP and navigate to
http://[your domain name]/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/admin/setting/updateConfigBackend&reset=1
and clear cache and save the new base directory/path settings
- Rebuild CiviCRM menu by navigating to
http://[your domain name]/wp-admin/admin.php?page=CiviCRM&q=civicrm/menu/rebuild&reset=1

Thanks for your quick answer. In wp-content/plugins/civicrm, I haven't the file civicrm.settings.php (maybe because I'm in 4.7.8 version ?) I have civicrm.php but there is no URL in.– LaureJul 18, 2016 at 15:37

Was CiviCRM installed and working fine before the domain name change? If yes, then there should be civicrm.settings.php file in 'wp-content/plugins/civicrm' directory, as this file will be automatically created during installation.– GhostJul 18, 2016 at 15:42

For CiviCRM Version 4.7 open wp-content/plugins/civicrm/civicrm.settings.php Answer edited for CiviCRM version 4.7, but seems I need peer review Jul 18, 2016 at 15:43

Yes civicrm was working fine before the domain name change (no hosting changes).– LaureJul 18, 2016 at 15:49
