Changed web host now database issues

  • Hi I’ve transferred my website to a new host successfully.
    I’ve transferred my url and files.
    I’ve also changes my database user and password

    But when I login to my wordpress login and post content.
    It doesn’t update my current database, it updates on my old web hosting database?
    Can’t find a way to link it to the new hosts database?

    Please help.
    Things I’ve tried but doesn’t work.
    Changing my wp-config.php file

    I will note that hosting plan is for
    helloexample.com and I’ve linked/added my old domain name to that hosting plan
    example.com if that might be an issue?

  • What do you have set for the database server? Maybe ‘localhost’ would work?

    It sounds to me like your registrar’s DNS records are still pointing at your old hosting account. As a result, you’re actually still editing your old website.

    How long has it been since you updated your domain records to point at your new hosting account?
