I  backed up a site, and cloned it to a new URL.  Everything ok.

When I enter mynewsite.com/wp-admin in browser, browser redirects to old site  url

Any suggestions?

Hi Tim! Usually when restoring, the wp-config.php gets added a RELOCATE tag as well as WP_SITEURL and WP_HOME urls that should point to the new site, try and recheck that. If those are not present, it could be that the mysql details didn't get updated either, so you would need to fix that also. 

 

Anyway, if the mysql details did get updated properly, a quick fix would be to access the site from mynewsite.com/wp-login.php url

 

Hope it helps! Ovidiu

Thanks, wp-config was dragging the old site over with it.  Deleted that, and all is good.

 

Thanks for the help.
