 * Hi All,
 * Any and all help is much appreciated given I have clearly made a mistake.
 * **BACKGROUND: **
 * – I have a wordpress powered blog at a domain with a fair amount of content at(
   xxxx.com).
 * – I just tried to use the wordpress migration assistant under tools to move it
   to a new domain (yyyy.com).
 * – However nothing really migrated but now if I go to xxxx.com/wp-admin it auto
   redirects to;
    [http://yyyy.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fxxxx.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1](http://yyyy.com/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fxxxx.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1)
 * – Also if I go to my xxxx.com homepage on its own you can see the regular content
   but its all unformatted but if you try to click on any link there it just redirects
   to a yyyy.com page with default content
 * **DESIRE**
 * – I want a to just migrate my site successfully over to the new domain with everything
   maintained as is as much as possible and all the appropriate 301 redirects as
   necessary
 * Or at worst just go back to what I had.
 * Thanks,
    Chris

 * Thank you I did and it did help me get part the way there in that editing database
   I have the old site showing again albeit minus the last 2 years worth of comments(
   2011-13). However comments from 2009-11 do show. All posts are showing.
 * Any suggestions on the missing comments?

 * **[@alhaqpk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alhaqpk/)** – please post your
   own topic – it’s very confusing to have multiple people in the same thread. Including
   useful info in your post will make it more likely that someone can help you.

   shortly.
