Multisite won’t populate to new domain

    I’ve been using a WordPress multisite setup for several years and have added and removed domains and sites a fair number of times.

    Recently, my host changed their backend from cPanel to DirectAdmin. This did not affect any of my current sites, however, I’m working to set up a new site with a new domain.

    My DNS pointers are all set to the host, I’ve followed all the instructions in the manual, and the temporary site & its admin panel load fine. The final step to convert it to the domain is to edit the address within WordPress to change it from ” https://olddomain.com/templocation/ ” to ” https://newdomain.com “

    Upon making this change, the temporary site no longer functions (as expected), however, the new domain name does not take over. Instead, I continue to see the default DirectAdmin placeholder website.

    Are there extra steps in DirectAdmin that I need to take? What step may I have missed? I need some help troubleshooting this as I really want to get my new site up & running ASAP.

    TIA!

    Check what the public root path is for your new domain in your hosting settings. It should lead to your WP installation, but by default it’s often /public_html/newdomain.com/ which is not where your WP installation is.
