I moved my wordpress website with updraftpluse backup plugin to another domain and now when I open new domain website redircet to Previous domain.
what can I do for fix this problem?
please help m!
Migration to a new domain is a different task from restoring a backup. Doing it correctly requires updating hyperlinks embedded in your site's content, as well as loading the site data onto the new server. It's quite difficult to update all the hyperlinks manually. But if you don't you get the results you mentioned in your question.
Updraft's paid version supports migration and automates the hyperlink update operations. So does Duplicator's free version.
I have moved my Wordpress files to another server via SFPT, and I have uploaded Database manually. I can enter the Dashboard and all other features except Posts, when I try to add a new post the errors below are triggered:
Wordpress has a guide for this types of issues

Do try updating your permalink setting from wp-admin, and give a try.
or possibility that your DB was not fully migrated to the new host.
I made my wordpress site live by moving it from the staging url (staging.example.com) to the live url(www.example.com).
I wont be working on the site anymore so I have to advice my client on how to manage things on his own from now on.
I have 2 options:
Let the client add blog posts directly on the live. When it comes to installing plugins or
any other changes that might cause the site to break, I can ask him to clone the live site by
using plugins such as wp-staging, test the changes on staging url and if everything works as
expected, then make the same changes in live.
I can ask him to make all the changes (adding posts, plugins etc.) on the staging url first and then transfer the
files to the live url. But how would we transfer the db from stage to live without overwriting the live db?
Also I used this script
to change the url in db but I dont want to let my client use that script because being a non-technical person,
I am afraid that he might end up deleting the entire files on the server or that he might forget to
delete the script after using it.
Or is there a better option? I am new to wordpress. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
You could use a backup plugin like backupwordpress or any of the other popular options out there to backup the database and files on a regular basis. Then run the backup right before making any plugin/theme updates.
Well usually staging urls are used when developing plugins or themes. In your case you are simply installing new plugins and adding posts to the WordPress. This is how WordPress is normally used and it does not require a development site.
If your client installs well known WordPress plugins which are well tested, then he should not have any problems with installing them.
I just finished migrating a wordpress website into a new website (hosted on godaddy's managed wordpress). Here is what I did:
Exported the database using this plugin:
https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-migrate-db/
Changed my site-url and home-url to the new ones
Did a search and replace for 'wp_' in the exported db for the correct 'wp_xxx' in production
imported the backup into prod.
copied over the entire wp-content onto the new server.
Everything worked well except for two issues that I ran into (wondering what happened):
The first issue was with the pages templates. While the pages (in
the db) and templates (in the source) were transferred just fine. I
lost the association of page -> template. I had to go in to the
production dashboard and re-select the pages' templates.
Something happened with all my media. Basically, the media files
moved over just fine to the prod server but when I go into the
wordpress dashboard > media, they all appear like gray files. Also,
I cannot add them to any posts (as featured images). However, if I
grab the media item's url and just paste it into my address bar, it
is shown just fine (which means that they are where they are
supposed to be on the server, and the server is serving them up).
I just don't understand why these issues occured. Where could I have lost information given that I moved over all of wp-content and the entire db?
Thanks in advance.

But when I check my project page and category folders arenot present.Also when I searched on live website these folder are not there also. But on live server it works fine.Url on live server is like this:
http://mywebsite.com/page/category/she.php
But Page and category folders are not there. I am a new to drupal. Any help to resolve this url generation issue will be appreciated.
After checking for possible misconfogurations as outlined by jpschroeder's you could try using the Backup and Migrate module.
Use the default settings and the cache tables will not be saved in your backup. You don't need them, as they will be re-created on the new server as pages are served for the first time there.
There's a good tutorial on this at http://www.seascapewebdesign.com/blog/how-transfer-your-website-one-server-another
