Switched databases - blog still pointing to old host. (2 posts)

    I've been able to export and import my blog and all of it's content to my new domain/database, however the internal links and category links are till pointing to the old domain.

    I've moved from blog.subliminallusion.com to http://www.subliminallusion.com

    I'm far from a php pro, let alone MySQL. If somebody could help me by at least pointing me in the right direction to resolve this issue and have the links point to the new domain (www.subliminallusion.com, instead of blog.sublim....), it would be greatly appreciated.

    On a related note: I tried to run the WordPress installation file again, but the text is real garbled for some reason. I was hoping this would help me find a way to re-submit the database / domain information again, but as it is now, I can't.

    Thanks in advance,
    Aaron Kightlinger

    Nevermind :) I was going into the new database and editing the options, as opposed to the old database. This was directing me from the new blog location to the old blog location. I simply had to go into the old blog's admin panel and edit THAT option set.

    Silly me!

    Hope this helps anybody else in the future with transporting databases.
