 * OK, fixed, thanks for the replies. Somehow, the old DB wrote the new url in the
   rows that have it. Even the people at GoDaddy have no explanation how that could
   happen – like I said, I touched nothing on the old site, via FTP or on the admin
   panel. I’m gonna take some deep breaths now 😛
 * thanks again.

 * DB details and nameserver are completely different. The thing is, I never touched
   a single file on the old server. Feck.

 * I know, I screwed that up and want to start over. However, how do I get the old
   site to stop reading the new one? When I remove files via FTP on the new site,
   the old site displays the changes as well. I *so* do not want to screw up the
   DB.

 * Sorry, I’ll try to put this in detail.
 * My client asked me to moved his WP to a new host. Currently it was a subdomain.
   I moved the files over and was surprised to see it working on the new host after
   I put that code in the theme function files to point to the root directory (update_option(‘
   siteurl’,’[http://etc&#8217](http://etc&#8217););). After I did that though, 
   I noticed that the old site was mimicking what I was doing on the new site. Even
   though the hosts and servers are completely different. That’s when I started 
   undoing what I did on the new site, including removing the files, but the old
   site is still displaying as the new site is, and I don’t want to lose any of 
   the DB pages or admin panel.
 * I guess my question is, on the old site, the files are completely untouched. 
   How do I get that to stop reading the new site? I would like to start the transfer
   from scratch, but removing files on the new site removes them from the old site–
   really weird.

 * Thanks for replying. Only on the new site. I didn’t touch a thing on the old 
   site. I still have the files on my computer and can re-FTP them to the new site,
   but now im worried.
