  I recently had to change my website address and my hosting company transferred my old wordpress site into the new one for me behind the scenes as I am not that tech savvy and had done quite a bit of work to it.
  The old site njdconsulting has been left as a front page with links to the new one njdpeopleconsulting.
  When my hosting company moved my site they gave me the same longin username as for the old site. It had been working fine but today I have tried to log into the new wordpress account to update my website and it has been automatically changing to the old site login page. E.g. i type njdpeopleconsulting.co.uk/wp-admin into the address bar and it automatically chanegs it to: http://njdconsulting.co.uk/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.njdpeopleconsulting.co.uk%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1 so when I log in I am in the old web site. I had started making some changes until I realised where I was.
  Unfortunately I can’t take the old site down completely as I there are still some business cards etc with the old address hanging around and I don’t want to lose people completely if they hit an error page.
  I have emptied my cache and retried but it is still doing the same.
  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello there!

  Unfortunately, this isn’t the right WordPress forum to help with that problem. You appear to have a self-hosted site using the WordPress.org software, but this forum is for blogs hosted here on WordPress.com. The two versions are different and have separate forums.

  Please post your question at the WordPress.org forum: https://wordpress.org/support/, where I’m confident there will be someone keen on help you solve your login issue.
  If you don’t have a username at that forum, you’ll need to register before posting.
