Is ufochick.com the new site? I ask, because it looks like profile.mytwinflame.info has links to ufochick.com.
If all you did was download the information from one site and upload it to the other, then the links will naturally point to the other one.
Though it sounds like you then changed the theme, which would fix your links – but not necessarily your login.
To do that, you would need to actually login to the new site (which I think is ufochick.com, so I’m really not sure).
Looking at the source of your login page (because that’s the only one I looked at), there are icons, backgrounds and other items that come from profile.mytwinflame.info. Also, you have some redirects that go to:
http://profile.mytwinflame.info/UFOchick-community-home
It looks like maybe this plugin has something to do with it, so you’ll want to check that. And make sure all your assets are pointing to the right place in your various templates from your theme, because it doesn’t look like they are right now.
If you have these values hardcoded, you might want to consider using the wp_upload_dir function instead, so if you move at any point, you don’t need to change things.
Did you review the relevant instructions in Moving_WordPress?

Yes I used the instructions but now I cannot find the exact instruction page I used.
After I moved a copy of the site to UFOchick.com the site would come up on UFOchick.com (which is the important thing because people need the info) but once they clicked any link it took them to the old site.
I hunted and hunted through this site. Much of it is over my head I’m sorry to say. The directions I used (from here) said I could finish changing the links from profile.mytwinflame.info to UFOchick.com by changing the theme’s (Mantra) (I think this is the right file, I’m trying to remember) wp-config.PHP file by adding script and then saving, loading the site and then removing the script.
Sure enough all the public pages load as UFOchick.com now. BUT I cannot log in.
I have manually searched through files trying to find what is wrong..no luck.
To clarify I am trying to move the site to UFOchick.com. I have a lot of traffic there already.
I have userpro a purchased plugin running. I don’t want to delete it because it includes all the people who have signed up for the site. It is similar to buddypress.
If I can just get logged in I think I can figure out the rest.
Thank you for any suggestions. š I have been trying to follow directions.
now I cannot find the exact instruction page I used.
Try reviewing the page at the link I posted above.

It is not that one I will hunt through my history
The page I posted a link to is THE canonical reference for moving a site. any other tutorial that you might have read elsewhere cannot be really be trusted.

This is what I used to move the rest of the site.
http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL
The login page is at wp-login.php at the new domain and you should see a WordPress login page. (I didn’t add a direct link, to try and minimize any extra, unwanted activity to that page – but if you still can’t find it let me know for more details.)
However, that page isn’t styled, which makes it seem like you may be missing something else.
It looks like the CSS from the wp-includes directory is working:
http://ufochick.com/wp-includes/css/buttons.min.css?ver=3.9.1
http://ufochick.com/wp-includes/css/dashicons.min.css?ver=3.9.1
But the CSS from the wp-admin doesn’t work:
http://ufochick.com/wp-admin/css/login.min.css?ver=3.9.1
That would likely indicate a permissions problem, or (somewhat less likely) that it doesn’t exist and simply can’t display the file. Still another possibility is that it’s related to one (or more) plugins. You may want to try disabling them and seeing if that helps the situation.
This is what I used to move the rest of the site.
You need to follow the instructions in Moving_WordPress. Your site was not moved correctly.

If I try to log in it takes me to the hosting company’s page and says I do not have permission to access the information. So I tried logging in with the hosting company then doing the login, still does not work.
If I login from my site it says “not found”
How do I disable plugins if I cannot login?

Ok changed the file name to plugins.hold. No change.
My htaccess file is the same as it always has been.
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ – [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
There are still a bunch of graphics with links to http://profile.mytwinflame.info/, but they are probably not causing the problem (directly) – however, that doesn’t mean that they aren’t a symptom of a move gone awry.
If you have disabled the plugins directory and there is still a problem, you should check the other permissions (notably the wp-admin directory), because it is still inaccessible:
http://ufochick.com/wp-admin/css/login.min.css?ver=3.9.1
And it is returning a 404 error (not found), not 403 error (not authorized).
The CSS alone isn’t going to prevent you from logging in, but it does indicate that there is a problem accessing the directory, and even if you do login successfully via the unstyled form, you won’t be able to get past it since the directory is inaccessible.
If you find that the directory permissions are correct, you should also check for an authentication file. Look in the .htaccess file for a line similar to this one:
AuthUserFile /usr/something/something/.htpasswd
The part at the end is the file name. The part prior to the end is the path to the file – similar to Windows (or whatever operating system you use).
If that line is there, and .htaccess cannot find that file, then that explains the problem. Make sure the path and file name are correct. It would indicate why this comes up when requesting something in wp-admin:
“You must be a registered member to view this part of UFOchick.com. Please click the register tab for the private part of our site.”

Thank you I will check the files shortly.
The site is loading perfectly. The message you got is correct because you have to be a registered member to access that part of my site.
The issue is just that I cannot login.
There is NO line like that in the HTaccess file. I copied mine above.
