WordPress Ignores new Site Url and Home when hosted on another domain

I have the following set up for a client:

WordPress hosted at siteground.com with externalhost.com/blog => working WordPress Installation.

AWS App “myapp.com” managed by Amplify with a rewrite for /blog which should lead to externalhost.com/blog but show the user myapp.com/blog.

I then switched the siteurl and home in the wp-config.php file:

define( 'WP_SITEURL', 'https://myapp.com/blog' );
define( 'WP_HOME', 'https://myapp.com/blog' );

It pretty much works, but there are some cases which aren’t working. So far I have noticed:
Pagination in the pages section keeps the links for the next page with externalhost.com/blog.
Menu Section links redirect to the externalhost.com/blog part.

It feels that not everywhere in the WordPress the link has changed above all in the pagination I wasn’t able to find a solution. Maybe someone has experienced the same behaviour or ideas where I can modify those behaviours?

    I got it working, doing the following in the wp-config.php

    $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] = str_replace ('externalhost.com', 'myapp.com', $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);

    Now it works.

    Reference: Change value of $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] on Bitnami Wordpress behind Azure CDN

    When switching the site url or moving the site to new hosting etc I have found i need to do a search & replace in the DB which can be done with a plugin like: https://wordpress.org/plugins/better-search-replace/ search for the old url externalhost.com & replace with the new url myapp.com this should resolve your issue, the plugin usually allows you to do a dry run before making the changes.

    Also a another way to do a migration is also use a plugin like: https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/

    Once your done with the plugins you should be able to remove them from your project
