I wanted an exact replica of my current wordpress website on a different domain with a different database.

So I created a database in same db host as the original database.I changed siteurl and homeurl in new database to the corresponding new domain.

I dumped the same code to new IP and changed wp_config file i.e. dbname,dbuser and wp_home wp_siteurl. I kept db_host same as I have both the databases on same host.

I was able to get the replica up on new domain,but I am facing following issue - whenever I change my password for admin in new admin panel , it gets reflected in my original website database and vice a versa.

Similar thing is happening for advanced custom fields in my admin panels.If I change something in new admin panel,it is reflected on my original website.

And also I noticed a very important thing...whenever I log into admin panel of my new website..I get those changes in both the websites...So I guess currently this depends on which admin panel I log into...

What could be the issue?? I think I have followed all the guidelines of wordpress migration to other domain.

    You made a mistake somewhere and both sites are using the same database.

It seems like your sites are using same database.

If you have time to do it again, you can try moving your website by using plugin All-in-One WP Migration
