Question 165906 in Wordpress Question posted in
The official Wordpress documentation can be found here.

Why are my WP links redirecting to old install?

so I built a site on https://anthonymeszaros.com/philj/ and them manually moved the files and database to a new folder to work in https://anthonymeszaros.com/test3/. I changed the general links in the database.

for https://anthonymeszaros.com/test3/ hover over any menu links you’ll see it’s /test3/ as it should be but when you click it it redirects to /philj/ for some strange reason.

Please help!

    You should do the following.

    Update your wp-config.php file with these values.

    define( 'WP_HOME', 'http://example.com' ); // Use your new URL
define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'http://example.com' ); // Use your new URL

    Also update your wp-options table in database. Search for option_name & home and update your site URL there.

    Once you do that, go to wp-admin/options-permalink.php page and just hit save changes couple of time without any changes.

    Please check your .htaccess file, may be there write static url, or you have used any cache plugin you should clear all cache. also you should check wp-config.php file if you have added static directory.
