   Hello,

   I ran a site NYKnicksNow.com, I am now attempting to switch it to TheKnicksWall.com. I have both registered and have switched the domain and hosting and everything.

   When you go to TheKnicksWall.com all of my posts show up and everything seems to work.

   However, I cannot login to the dashboard. Everything on the site works except for logging into wordpress.

   What do I do?

   You have to change the domain in the database. Try this: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/change-wp-url/

   I haven't used it myself but it should work.

   I've already made the change and I cant login to WordPress. Is there any other way to fix this?

   There's two places in the 'wp_options' table that need to be changed. The 'siteurl' and 'home'.

   If you've already done that and still having an issue, maybe get back to us with the URL to your blog and will try having a double check on it.

   You have to make sure you changed all links referencing your old domain to your new one. In your login form (http://www.theknickswall.com/wp-login.php) the action attribute is still being sent to your old domain, <form method="post" action="http://nyknicksnow.com/wp-login.php" id="loginform" name="loginform">
