WordPress Domain Migration Gone Wrong

  • Hi All,

    Any and all help is much appreciated given I have clearly made a mistake.

    BACKGROUND:

    – I have a wordpress powered blog at a domain with a fair amount of content at (xxxx.com).

    – I just tried to use the wordpress migration assistant under tools to move it to a new domain (yyyy.com).

    – However nothing really migrated but now if I go to xxxx.com/wp-admin it auto redirects to;
    https://yyyy.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fxxxx.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1

    – Also if I go to my xxxx.com homepage on its own you can see the regular content but its all unformatted but if you try to click on any link there it just redirects to a yyyy.com page with default content

    DESIRE

    – I want a to just migrate my site successfully over to the new domain with everything maintained as is as much as possible and all the appropriate 301 redirects as necessary

    Or at worst just go back to what I had.

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Thank you I did and it did help me get part the way there in that editing database I have the old site showing again albeit minus the last 2 years worth of comments (2011-13). However comments from 2009-11 do show. All posts are showing.

    Any suggestions on the missing comments?

    Hi there,

    I am also getting same sort of issue, links are not working, data is missing too.

    @alhaqpk – please post your own topic – it’s very confusing to have multiple people in the same thread. Including useful info in your post will make it more likely that someone can help you.

    @wpyogi – Thanks, I will do that shortly.
