 * Hi all
 * Im trying to restore my database from a different website with version 2.7, to
   a new one (version 2.81), with of course a new URL. Anyway, i have uploaded the
   DB-backap to the new database for my new website, but when i enter the wordpress
   admin-area and click on “pages” or “links” or whatever, the screen turns white,
   with a wordpress-messege in the middle like this; (Look below), and in the URL
   field i can see the domain for my old website (where my db-backup comes from):
 * “No Upgrade Required”
 * Your WordPress database is already up-to-date!
 * “Continue” (clickable)
 * When i then click contiue, i get forwarded to the main page for my previous website.
 * Someone who can help me with this problem?
 * Kind regards
    Christopher
