Hello again,

I have successfully transferred the database from my old domain to my new domain and imported the xml file that was generated from the first domain upon exporting it.

Now all of the content from the old domain appears at the new url and I have no troubles accessing the dashboard at the new domain.

The weird thing is though, while all of the pages appear to be populated with the content from the old domain when visiting the new url, the pages that I can access through the dashboard of the new domain appear totally unpopulated.

This would seem to be an indicator that the new url is pointing back to the old domain and what I am seeing is not on the new domain at all, but only coming through from the old domain.

I successfully imported the xml from the old domain but am confused at how I can be assured that what I am looking at on the new domain is actually on the new domain and not pointing to the old domain.

Thanks!

Brilliant! Thanks so much. I went ahead and changed the functions file for the first domain and it worked like a charm.

Now I am going to try and delete the second database manually and go the the process of trying to export the site from the first domain to the second.

Your speedy reply made my day –Cheers!

Esmi,

I cannot access the hosting management panel on the old hosting account because whenever I try and log in, I’m re-routed to the new host.

Anyway I can overcome this?…

Esmi,

I have reviewed the moving_WordPress page again and it seems that I followed the step-by-step instructions to move your WordPress site to a new location on the same server: Unfortunately, I have moved my WordPress site to a new URL which means it is on a different server, thus I have followed the wrong instructions.

What I need to do is on the old domain, go to ‘Manage -> Export’ and then on the new domain, go to ‘Manage -> Import’.

Unfortunately, I can no longer access the old domain as it points to the new domain (as I explained above, on the old domain I changed the WordPress address (URL) and the Site address (URL) to point to my new domain). Now whenever I try and log into wordpress/wp-admin, it automatically re-routes to the new domain.

Is there some way I can get around this? I have the old database on my desktop -is there a php file that I can open and then change back to how it was before I changed the settings for the WordPress address and Site address to the new domain?

esmi,

I just took the entire contents of the wordpress folder from the old domain and copied it over into the root folder of the new domain (with the exception being the wp-config.php file which I customized for the new domain).

One of my current problems is that I can no longer access the dashboard for the old domain because when I try to log in, I am re-directed to the new domain which I mistakenly created a new username + password for.
