Cant login after migrating content from another website

[TomekUser]

I’ve just restored my website content to a new location using UpdraftPlus: Migrate but now when I’m trying to login to the new website control panel it takes me to the old website?

Is there any way to correct this?

Hi Tomek,

Did you remember to tick the search/replace box? See: https://updraftplus.com/faqs/migrated-site-searchreplace-database-can-now/

If you did, then can you try visiting the admin area in a different web browser? Sometimes web browsers cache redirects, and it is possible that this is the problem. (Also, if you tell me the site address, I can check from here).

Best wishes,
David
