# Redirection after error in installing

 * I have a wordpress installation up and running on a subdomain (“old”) of my server.
   
   I tried to install a second different wordpress website on the same server, on
   a different subdomain (“new”) but I mistakenly used the database credentials 
   from the already running wordpress website (huge mistake of mine, I actually 
   wanted a seperate installation with a seperate MySQL database). The wordpress
   installer informed me that a wordpress installation already exists and that I
   should delete that first. At that point I realised my mistake and closed the 
   window.
 * Now, when I navigate the “new” subdomain it automatically redirects me to the
   old subdomain. I deleted all wordpress files, thinking there might be a configuration
   written somewhere, I even deleted and re-created the subdomain – it still redirects
   to the “old” subdomain.
 * Any clues what might be happening?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi
    I don’t have the theme options under appearance, and I’m unable to add slide
   themes on my website using WordPress.
