Issue with Domain Name Change and Wordpress

Hi Guys,

So I decided to re-brand my blog. I bought a new domain name and changed the primary domain name on my hosting account, I was able to type in the new domain name and reach my blog; but all the paths were still from my old domain. Example:

1. passiveproductive.com - shows the home page
2. I hover over the about link
3. It shows: http://www.minimalblog.net/about
4. I click 'about' and it redirects to my old domain parked as a URL

So somehow I need to rename the paths, etc. I'm quite confused.

Another thing to note is that I can't log-in to wordpress with this new domain name, not sure why. Any help would be appreciated!

 

This happened to me before. I ended up paying someone on Fiverr.com to fix it for me...

 

To easily access to the wp-options table, juste enter the following url in your browser adress bar:

http://www.yourblog.com/wp-admin/options.php

Code (markup):

 

you should try this plugin( Velvet Blues Update URLs) to change to the new domain name, or try to change it in phpmyadmin

 

Can you log into the database? If so, you can simply edit the table to reflect your new domain and everything will work fine.

Edit:

1. Backup your database and save the copy off-site.
2. Login to phpMyAdmin.
3. Click the link to your Databases.
4. A list of your databases will appear. Choose the one that is your WordPress database.
5. All the tables in your database will appear on the screen.
6. From the list, look for wp_options. Note: The table prefix of wp_ may be different if you changed it when installing.
7. Click on the small icon indicated as Browse.
8. A screen will open with a list of the fields within the wp_options table.
9. Under the field option_name, scroll down and look for siteurl.
10. Click the Edit Field icon which usually is found at the far left at the beginning of the row.
11. The Edit Field window will appear.
12. In the input box for option_value, carefully change the URL information to the new address.
13. Verify this is correct and click Go to save the information.
14. You should be returned to your wp_options table.
15. Look for the home field in the table and click Edit Field. Note There are several pages of tables inside wp_options. Look for the > symbol to page through them.
16. In the input box for option_value, carefully change the URL information to the new address.
17. Verify this is correct and click Go to save the information.

 

Got it sorted guys thanks
