Sign In & Redirect Problems

  • I don’t even know where to begin.

    I have a website called michael-masiello.com. If you go to the site, it works, however I got a new domain, mikemasi.com. I wanted to transfer everything over to my new domain. I did that.

    However, permalink was using my old url (michael-masiello.com) for the pages on mikemasi.com. I went in there and tried changing it, but it still did the same thing.

    While both wordpress logins were opened (wp-admin), I made an edit to michael-masiello.com’s settings and updated them to mikemasi.com (thinking that was the reason why the links were moving back to the old domain), but what I was actually doing was changing the site name and url on michael-masiello.com, which is now redirecting to mikemasi.com when I try to login. But the emails are the same and I sent a confirmation email and nothing has came back. So I panicked and erased everything on mikemasi.com, but still michael-masiello.com is redirecting me to mikemasi.com and both usernames and passwords are coming up wrong. What do I do?

    Access michael-masiello.com by FTP. Then download wp-config.php, add the following two lines, and re-upload.

    define('WP_HOME','https://www.michael-masiello.com');
define('WP_SITEURL','https://www.michael-masiello.com');

    This should allow you to login again at michael-masiello.com. Once you have successfully logged in, you should remove those two lines from the wp-config.php file.

    This should get you back to where you were before starting your move to mikemasi.com.

    To execute the move properly:

    Step one: transfer all of your files and the database over to mikemasi.com. I assume for current purposes that you did this correctly the first time.

    Step two: make sure both the “WordPress address (URL)” and “Site address (URL)” for mikemasi.com are set to https://www.mikemasi.com. Do not change anything at michael-masiello.com at this stage.

    Step three: if you want to redirect michael-masiello.com to mikemasi.com, that’s easily done through .htaccess additions. The precise settings will depend on what you need those redirections to do, which I won’t go into here.

    Well I had everything on my computer, so I removed everything and reuploaded everything before your reply.

    But now I have two problems. The first one being that the scroll Bar is the normal color and not the blue one that was there previously.

    And the main page is showing the updates, while the updates page isn’t even showing anything. How is this possibly if everything was uploaded the correct way?

    Alright. It looks like my old domain is back up and running. I recovered everything on the old domain.

    The problem remains with my links and pictures for the new domain. Although in settings it says mikemasi.com, it still brings viewers back to the old domain. So is there something else I can do to fix this?
