From old to new domain – problem with login into wp-login.php

  • Hi everyone, I can’t login into /wp-login.php as an Admin anymore on my new domain I did following steps:

    1) Backup of all files of “abc.com” on my local PC
    2) Exported DB of “abc.com” via phpMyAdmin to my local PC (.sql.gz – compression because phpMyAdmin didn’t let me export it without compression)
    3) Created new DB for “def.com”
    4) Uploaded files from “abc.com” and changed wp-config.php with DB data from step 3 / “def.com”
    5) Imported DB of “abc.com” via phpMyAdmin
    6) Went to “abc.com” and changed URL in settings from “abc.com” to “def.com”

    Now I have following issue
    When I want to login into wp-login.php the admin Panel wants to redirect me to Dashboard of “www.abc.com” instead of Dashboard of new domain “www.def.com”

    Did anyone face the same issue, or what else do I have to do to be able to Login into WordPress ACP of “www.def.com” ?

    Kind regards,
    Test5000

    Thanks esmi.

    Following way worked to go from old domain to new domain:

    1) Backup of all files of “abc.com” on my local PC
    2) Exported DB of “abc.com” via phpMyAdmin to my local PC (.sql.gz – compression because phpMyAdmin didn’t let me export it without compression)
    3) Created new DB for “def.com”
    4) Uploaded files from “abc.com” and changed wp-config.php with DB data from step 3 / “def.com”
    5) Open exported DB (the .sql file) with text editor – replace in line 123 (1, ‘siteurl’, ‘ENTER NEW SITE URL HERE’, ‘yes’), – and save the file as a new .sql file
    6) Import DB after step 5 in the empty DB of “def.com” via phpMyAdmin
    7) That’s it! Now you can login into “def.com/wp-login.php”
    8) Go to https://def.com/wp-admin/options-general.php => change site-adress to “def.com”
