So transferring a wordpress site should be very easy. Just quoting your steps out:
Have you changed the new site url in the wp_options table in the wordpress database using phpmyadmin?
These are the actual steps you need to follow:
1) Zip the full current files you have on your old wordpress site’s file directory. And I mean everything. If you want to use FTP to download the files, that’s an option as well instead of zipping it and downloading via a file manager if your host has cPanel or anything equivalent to it.
2) Go to phpmyadmmin on your old server and export the database of the old site. Pretty easy to do this.
3) Upload the zipped files to your new server’s domain root and unzip them.
4) Import the old database into the new database you created on the new host.
5) Change the Site urls in the wp_options table to the new URL.
Then you can load the backend and do a search replace of all old URLs with the new URLs using a search and replace plugin for wordpress.
