I changed my domain name and now WordPress is redirecting to the old domain

WordPress uses your domain name in it's settings, so it must have your correct/current domain name for the "Site URL" in "General Settings" to work properly.

If you change your domain name, WordPress will continue trying to use the old domain, so you will be redirected to the old domain when entering the new domain if you do not update the "Site URL".

You can reset the URL using the following WordPress article:http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL
