So, I wanted to move my WP and WooCommerce site (Installed from softaculous) to a different URL. I added the new domain to the same hosting account, so it would show the exact same thing as the original domain (so both domains share the same files, databases, ect.) but just with the new domain in the address bar instead. However, WP would always redirect me to the original domain. I did not even see an option in Settings –> General to change the site URL, so I opened the MySQL databases and used the “search” feature to find all instances of my old URL in any database. I than changed all of the URLs to my new domain, except for those in the “wpih_posts” database (I am not using the commenting feature, and did not want to take the time to change the 84 instances of the domain in this database). Everything works fine (on the new domain) except for “Network Admin” account win wp-admin, which I need to add plugins and manage certain things I can’t seem to do in the normal dashboard. When going to My Sites –> Network Admin –> Dashboard (Or anything else in that menu) I just get a “Error establishing a database connection. If your site does not display, please contact the owner of this network. If you are the owner of this network please check that MySQL is running properly and all tables are error free.” error. I did notice that it redirected me back to the old domain before showing this error, and /wp-admin/network always redirects back to the old (original) domain. Also, the favicon in the admin area does not show, but I don’t really care about that.
Did I do something incorrect when I changed the database values? I don’t see anything in a .htaccess file that is redirecting newdomain.tld/wp-admin/network to olddomain.tld/wp-admin/network. I am brand new to MySQL and databases, you sorry if the answer is obvious.
Thanks, in advance,

i want to change the domain of my premium plan, as i stopped supporting the old project (will delete the website as well, soon| mein-stuttgart.com) and want to extend the newer one.
how do i do that? i still have 8 months left and i dont want to lose them ]]>
However, no matter what we do we are still seeing the old co.uk address being generated by some parts of Yoast SEO;
1) the canonical urls,
2) the og:url and
3) the urls in the webpage schema generated by Yoast SEO
We have reset the permalinks, cleared all caches, checked all the Yoast settings, removed the plugin and reinstalled and checked the database for any .co.uk references. Nothing has worked. We can’t find any documentation on this on the Yoast website or on this support thread. When we remove the Yoast plugin the co.uk references go from the source code. Reinstall it (without importing the original settings) and the co.uk references reappear. There must be a setting or Yoast database field we need to update but we can’t find it.
Can anyone help?
]]>A client asked me to change the url for her website. So, I needed to point the DNS to the new domain, but forgot to change it on admin panel before.
Is there any chance to change it manually, in certain files? I was looking at wp-config, but didn’t find it.
Do I need to change something in any DB file?
Thanks.

]]>From cptutos.com to cptutos.net, everything went right.
But I have a problem with the Ultimate Member plugin that I have tried to solve for a long time and I can not find a solution and I wanted to know if they could help me or guide me a bit.
CPTUTOS.NET is all working very well, but it happens that when a user registers and selects the option: UPLOAD PROFILE IMAGE, the image uploads to the server, BUT IS NOT SHOWN.
Investigating this I got the surprise that each photo that is uploaded in the profile and cover, is going up in the root folder of UPLOADS but CPTUTOS.COM !. It seems to stay with that configuration before moving the web.
I tried deleting the CPTUTOS.NET plugin and reinstalling it, but it does not work, it keeps going up to the CPTUTOS.COM folder, it’s like there’s a kind of cache or something similar.
Any advice or help? Thank you very much.
]]>I’ve recently changed the name of my site from myenglishupdate.com to livetolearnuk.com. However, now I cannot access either…
If I type in my ‘old’ URL, it Changes to my new one but then times out before reaching the page. If I type in my new one it just takes me to the Godaddy page….
Can anyone help me get my website back?
A grateful novice,
