I also checked my db file table “siteurl” which also reflects the new url

Thanks esmi…I’ve already read that, which seems to have “fixes.” My point is I think I’ve done it correctly as my site shows up fine with the new URL. The SQL Database also reflects my changes.
The problem appears if I stop pointing the old URL to the same file location.
Could this have anything to do with my Permalink setup. I’m using Custom /%postname%/. My default permalink setting also is displaying the new url name.
Have you checked all of your image urls?

Image URLs seem to be the problem…reviewing:
1. All urls are hosted on the same server.
2. The SQL Database hansn’t changed
3. WordPress URL hasn’t changed location – inside a folder called WP…once called http://www.oldname.com/wp and now called http://www.newname.com/wp
4. Site URL has been changed from http://www.oldname.com to http://www.newname.com
5. Required changes were made to .htaccess and PHP files per the wp codex instructions if you want your site homepage to be different from the directory you installed WordPress.
The site shows up but some images have maintained the earlier URL/wp name and the only way I can fix it is to reload all images on each page.
Thanks in advance

Whoooa….sounds scary. So I would search for old url name and replace with new url name?
I may need a drink before trying this.

Well..worked great except it wouldn’t update image links in widgets. Image widget still referred to old URL. I had to manually insert the images again. Good Pluding!!!
Thanks
