Transferred WordPress site, now links go to old site

    I copied a site to another directory and I made a separate DB for it with a different name. I edited the SQL to change the URL before I imported it and changed all the names. I also updated the wp-config.php to point to the new DB. However, whenever I click a link on the new site, it redirects to the old one, even though the href (via Inspect in Chrome) points to the new URL. Even typing in the URL manually redirects to a 404 on the old site. It’s bizarre. Any ideas? Is there a better way to copy a site?

    The reason I don’t want to start fresh is because the original has a lot of modifications that I want to transfer over to the others (it’s for a series of restaurants and they want all the sites to look very very similar).

    Thanks!

    Regards

    I’m an idiot. I figured it out.

    For anyone else having this problem, simply go to settings -> Permalinks and click save changes. This should fix it.

    Please tell me what is the difference between WordPress.org and WordPress.com? I now seem to have two different User Names and Passwords.
