Hi Jesús Amieiro

Thanks for your advice and the link attached.

Have tried;
# Steps

1.    Edit the wp-config.php file.
2.    After the “define” statements (just before the comment line that says “That’s all, stop editing!”), insert a new line, and type: define('RELOCATE',true);
3.    Save your wp-config.php file.
4.    Open a web browser and manually point it to wp-login.php on the new server. For example, if your new site is at https://www.yourdomainname.com, then type https://www.yourdomainname.com/wp-login.php into your browser’s address bar.
5.    Login as per normal.
6.    Look in your web browser’s address bar to verify that you have, indeed, logged in to the correct server. If this is the case, then in the Admin back-end, navigate to Settings > General and verify that both the address settings are correct. Remember to Save Changes.
7.    Once this has been fixed, edit wp-config.php and either completely remove the line that you added (delete the whole line), comment it out (with //) or change the true value to false if you think it’s likely you will be relocating again.

Add following lines at the bottom of wp-config.php

define( 'WP_HOME', 'https://old hosting domain url' );
define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'https://old hosting domain url' );

I couldn’t find the line saying;
That’s all, stop editing!

I add following 2 lines at the end of the file;

define('RELOCATE',true);
# That’s all, stop editing!

On Chrome run;
https://old hosting domain url/wp-login.php
