 Hi,
 I'm looking at https://build.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-admin
 /options-general.php?marks=30#L30
 and thinking about how to improve the help string:
 "The WordPress URL and the Site URL can be the same (example.com) or
 different; for example, having the WordPress core files
 (example.com/wordpress) in a subdirectory instead of the root directory."

 1. Since the URL's should include http/https, I believe the sample should
 also have that: "https://example.com)
 2. It would be good to elaborate a bit more on the difference between
 these two URL's. What about "WordPress URL is where the core files of
 WordPress are installed. Site URL is the URL a visitor enters in their
 browser in order to reach your site."
 - Perhaps we should also mention here about http/https specifically?
 - What about: Remember that if you want to move your site to a different
 domain, you'll usually need to first configure this outside of WordPress.
