  Issue:
  We had a website staged on a domain ‘OLDDOMAIN.com’ which was then replaced with ‘NEWDOMAIN.com’. The website for some reason keeps redirecting to the old domain with a 302 error (according to the network tab in Mozilla).

  I have edited the php wp4_options using the following method:
  using php my admin, edited DOMAIN_wp## – > wp**_options
  ‘site url’ changed to ‘NEWDOMAIN’
  ‘home’ changed to ‘NEWDOMAIN’

  After, I added the line to the top of the wp-config.php:
  define(‘RELOCATE’,true);

  I also have the additional issue of a 404 error when trying to access the DOMAIN/wp/wp-login.php page the other /wp-admin page does not redirect properly.

  It looks like you have a self-hosted WordPress.org site. This forum is strictly for WordPress.com hosted sites.

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are a little separate, and that can be confusing.

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  You’ll want to use the forums at https://wordpress.org/support/ for any support on managing your site. Hope that helps to point you in the right direction!
