 * Hi I’ve transferred my website to a new host successfully.
    I’ve transferred 
   my url and files. I’ve also changes my database user and password
 * But when I login to my wordpress login and post content.
    It doesn’t update my
   current database, it updates on my old web hosting database? Can’t find a way
   to link it to the new hosts database?
 * Please help.
    Things I’ve tried but doesn’t work. Changing my wp-config.php file
 * I will note that hosting plan is for
    helloexample.com and I’ve linked/added 
   my old domain name to that hosting plan example.com if that might be an issue?

 * What do you have set for the database server? Maybe ‘localhost’ would work?

 * It sounds to me like your registrar’s DNS records are still pointing at your 
   old hosting account. As a result, you’re actually still editing your old website.
 * How long has it been since you updated your domain records to point at your new
   hosting account?
