Moving Existing WordPress Site to New Domain

    I'm moving a WordPress site to another domain.

    Existing Site: http://www.alrassociation.org/
    New Domain: http://tech-pr-consultants.com/

    I downloaded the existing site locally and uploaded to the new domain. Everything looks good but the new domain is redirecting to the old domain name.

    Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

    Before I do that I have another issue. All the WP folders in public_html on the existing site are gone when I login through FTP. I didn't delete anything and they do show in cPanel File Manager.

    I tried setting up again as a new site through FTP and get the same issue. Never seen anything like this. I even had someone else at another location setup the site and they get the same. How can we be looking at the remote server through FTP and not see the files that are showing in cPanel File Manager? Note that I'm hosting both sites on one reseller account through HostGator.

    Nevermind. This was a problem on HostGator's end. Thanks.
