 * Hi
 * I am trying to set up a development domain for my site iocsave.ie .
    As it stands
   the development site is a copy of the original and is located at sandbox101.iocsave.
   ie and it works fine.
 * But when trying to access [http://sandbox101.iocsave.ie/wp-admin](http://sandbox101.iocsave.ie/wp-admin)
   it redirects to iocsave.ie/wp-admin….. more specifically [http://iocsave.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fsandbox101.iocsave.ie%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1](http://iocsave.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fsandbox101.iocsave.ie%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1)
 * I have looked at other similar topics and have not been able to solve my problem.

 * Copying is as good as moving wordpress to different location.
    Did you make necessary
   changes such as changing site URL etc? Tutorial – [https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress](https://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress)
 * I faced a similar issue when i tried to convert a WordPress installation to multisite
   on a shared server. I couldnt find a fix back then had to roll back implementation.
   Changes were primarily made to wp-config.php and htaccess files. So, did you 
   happen to make any other changes to htaccess or wp-config? or try creating a 
   htaccess if its not present already.
