Answers.Text: 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.

Answers.Text: 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.
