I recently cloned my WordPress instance since I changed domain. I did this by copying the root folder over and replacing all instances of the old domain with the new one, and doing and loading a db dump after also replacing all instances with the new one. Now, without touching the old one aside from re-configuring my Apache, the old domain throws a 301 permanently moved and sends me to the new one, which I just can’t figure out. I feel like I need to repeat that I have not touched anything to do with the old domain.

It looks like the old database now is full of references to the new domain, and when trying to access the old one I get a 301 and instantly get redirected. I haven’t yet tried to fix the database to ensure that’s the reason, but it’s the last thing it can really be. Is there any common plugin that could do this? High on my suspicion list is Jetpack, but I can’t find anything about it online. I also have a plugin called “Redirection”, but it sounds like it would need manual configuration in order to do anything, which I haven’t done.

Thanks in advance for any hints.
