Domain Clone and Migrate

    Hi Support team,

    We are having an issue with an effort to clone and migrate a domain to another domain.
    The issue we are getting is moving http://www.educationbritannia.com to the new domain http://www.thelanguagefair.com which both are under the same hosting account.

    I exported all the educationbritannia files via a Backup plugin on WordPress (Updraft Plus) than restored that exported file onto the new domain.

    One this happened we were getting a redirect issue where the new domain would redirect to our old domain.
    Our extended attempt lead me logging into the admin section of the new domain (www.thelanguagefair.com/wp-login.php) and going into the general settings and changing the Home address and the site domain from http://www.educationbritannia.com to http://www.thelanguagefair.com

    We are now getting redirects when trying to login to both the domain’s

    How do we resolve this problem as we have run out of ideas.

    Thanks

    Morning :)

    These sites are running a standalone WordPress installation which is different from what we do here at WordPress.com. Those differences are outlined on this page: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    For help, you’ll want to visit the community forums at https://wordpress.org/support/

    You can also contact your host, or domain registrar. Here’s the pubic facing information I can see.

    thelanguagefair.com
    Registrar Promo People Inc. through HostPapa Inc
    ns1031.websiteservername.com
    ns1032.websiteservername.com

    When checking the site, educationbritannia.com, it is redirecting to thelanguagefair.com as desired.
